Who we are:
Over 250 programs strong, since 1979, we have had a mission to support programs world-wide that educate undergraduate and graduate students in the communication sciences and disorders.
Today, over 2,000 academic, clinical and administrative staff members affiliated with over 250 institutions in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia and New Zealand use their CAPCSD membership to keep ahead of the challenges that face our programs, our faculty, our staff, and our students.
What we do:
- Develop and promulgate position statements relevant to educational and professional standards
- Maintain liaisons with, and advise, related professional organizations, government agencies, and the university community
- Assist your ability to respond to changes in program accreditation and professional credentialing
- Gather, organize and distribute information relevant to your program’s strategic planning needs, including funding, as well as
faculty, staff and student demographics
- Promote and provide professional development and continuing education opportunities for your department members
- Foster quality education through meetings and publications designed to enhance curricula and improve instruction.
