ASHA Advocacy and the Community of Ambassadors with Shawna Ross

First Bite: A Speech Therapy Podcast

Guest: Shawna Ross, MS, CCC-SLP

In this episode, Michelle is joined by Shawna Ross, MS, CCC-SLP, founder of Sierra Therapy Group, a pediatric private practice in Reno, NV, and passionate SLP volunteer, who is currently serving on ASHA’s Committee of Ambassadors, as the SLP Member for Nevada. As colleagues from around the globe are gearing up for “Elevate!” ASHA Convention 2024 in Seattle, WA, Michelle and Shawna thought it was the perfect time to share a little insight into the amazing gains this year for ASHA’s Public Policy Agenda and how ASHA’s Committee of Ambassadors played a vital role. So, if you have ever wanted to become more involved in advocating for federal policy change on anything/everything from reimbursement rates, the interstate compact, or increased access to care for those we have been called to serve, this is the hour for you!
