Description
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) administers this annual award to recognize a significant accomplishment that advances knowledge in clinical practice in audiology or speech-language pathology. The award focuses on a single, specific, well-defined achievement within the past six years—not lifetime service or a collection of accomplishments—and provides support to further the recognized work.
Eligible achievements span direct work with clients, clinical service or training programs, organizational or government activities, and clinical teaching, research, or administration. Previously recognized work includes new treatment techniques, innovative service-delivery programs, clinical research, multicultural parent training, and a successful state legislative initiative. The award commemorates Louis M. DiCarlo’s distinguished clinical career in communication sciences and disorders.
