COUNCIL ON ACADEMIC ACCREDITATION (CAA)
Purpose and Role of the CAA
 Institutions of higher learning that offer graduate
degree programs in audiology and/or speech-
language pathology can voluntarily seek
accreditation by the Council on Academic
Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-
Language Pathology (CAA) of the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
 http://www.aspa-usa.org/
CAA
 The specific purposes of the CAA are to:
 formulate standards for the accreditation of graduate
education programs that provide entry-level
professional preparation in audiology and/or speech-
language pathology;
 evaluate programs that voluntarily apply for
accreditation;
 grant certificates and recognize those programs
deemed to have fulfilled requirements for
accreditation;
 maintain a registry of holders of such certificates; and
 prepare and furnish to appropriate persons and
agencies lists of accredited programs
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
Purpose of Accreditation
Principle 1: The purpose of voluntary accreditation is
three-fold:
 to promote excellence in the preparation of graduates
to enter the professional practice of speech-language
pathology and audiology through the development
and implementation of standards of educational
quality;
 to protect and inform the public by recognizing
programs that meet or exceed the educational
standards; and
 to encourage graduate programs to monitor and
enhance the efficacy of their educational activities by
means of continuous self-study and improvement.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
Scope of Accreditation
Principle 2: Accreditation should be limited to
those graduate educational programs that
prepare persons for entry into professional
practice.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
Accrediting Responsibility and Structure
 Principle 3: It is the mutual responsibility of
professional practitioners and educators to
determine the knowledge and skills needed by
practitioners. Educational policies that define
how such knowledge and skills are to be
developed must be determined by the academic
community.
 Principle 4: The accrediting body for academic
programs should be operationally independent
from the political process and control of
sponsoring organizations
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
 Principle 5: The establishment and
implementation of standards should be the
combined responsibility of a single accrediting
body.
 Principle 6: Although audiology and speech-
language pathology are separate professions,
they share a common interest in the scientific
principles of human communication. Therefore,
accreditation should be carried out by a single
body, but one that accommodates the different
educational needs of the two professions.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
 Principle 7: Although professional practitioners and
the public should be represented on the accrediting
body, majority representation should come from the
academic community.
 Principle 8: The establishment and implementation
of standards for educational accreditation should be
structurally and functionally independent of
practitioner certification and service-program
accreditation. Communication and collaboration
among these standards programs is essential,
however, to ensure that their general policies and
future directions are coordinated.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
Financial Structure
 Principle 9: The accreditation body should have the
authority and responsibility for developing and
managing its operational budget.
 Principle 10: Since the benefits of accreditation
accrue to all members of the professions, as well as
to accredited programs, their students and the public
at large, financial support for an accreditation
program should be derived from accredited programs
and those seeking accreditation and from the
professions of speech-language pathology and
audiology as a whole.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
General Nature of Accreditation Standards
 Principle 11: Consistent with the public protection
responsibility of accreditation, standards should
recognize institutional diversity and encourage
academic experimentation and innovation. Programs
should be encouraged to develop appropriate goals
and curricula that are relevant to their strengths and
experience and should then be evaluated according
to how well they meet their goals.
 Principle 12: Standards should be primarily
qualitative in nature. Evaluation should emphasize
outcomes of the educational process.
CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION
 Principle 13: Standards should promote the
integration of clinical practice and research through
the application of scientific principles and methods.
 Principle 14: Standards should be neither
prescriptive nor restrictive. Rather, they should be
flexible, encouraging reflection and capacity for
change.
 Principle 15: Standards should recognize that some
programs may require direct and more traditional
guidelines and standards, while other programs may
be encouraged to be more innovative and
experimental.

  • 28. COUNCIL ON ACADEMIC ACCREDITATION (CAA) Purpose and Role of the CAA  Institutions of higher learning that offer graduate degree programs in audiology and/or speech- language pathology can voluntarily seek accreditation by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech- Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).  http://www.aspa-usa.org/
  • 29. CAA  The specific purposes of the CAA are to:  formulate standards for the accreditation of graduate education programs that provide entry-level professional preparation in audiology and/or speech- language pathology;  evaluate programs that voluntarily apply for accreditation;  grant certificates and recognize those programs deemed to have fulfilled requirements for accreditation;  maintain a registry of holders of such certificates; and  prepare and furnish to appropriate persons and agencies lists of accredited programs
  • 30. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION Purpose of Accreditation Principle 1: The purpose of voluntary accreditation is three-fold:  to promote excellence in the preparation of graduates to enter the professional practice of speech-language pathology and audiology through the development and implementation of standards of educational quality;  to protect and inform the public by recognizing programs that meet or exceed the educational standards; and  to encourage graduate programs to monitor and enhance the efficacy of their educational activities by means of continuous self-study and improvement.
  • 31. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION Scope of Accreditation Principle 2: Accreditation should be limited to those graduate educational programs that prepare persons for entry into professional practice.
  • 32. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION Accrediting Responsibility and Structure  Principle 3: It is the mutual responsibility of professional practitioners and educators to determine the knowledge and skills needed by practitioners. Educational policies that define how such knowledge and skills are to be developed must be determined by the academic community.  Principle 4: The accrediting body for academic programs should be operationally independent from the political process and control of sponsoring organizations
  • 33. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION  Principle 5: The establishment and implementation of standards should be the combined responsibility of a single accrediting body.  Principle 6: Although audiology and speech- language pathology are separate professions, they share a common interest in the scientific principles of human communication. Therefore, accreditation should be carried out by a single body, but one that accommodates the different educational needs of the two professions.
  • 34. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION  Principle 7: Although professional practitioners and the public should be represented on the accrediting body, majority representation should come from the academic community.  Principle 8: The establishment and implementation of standards for educational accreditation should be structurally and functionally independent of practitioner certification and service-program accreditation. Communication and collaboration among these standards programs is essential, however, to ensure that their general policies and future directions are coordinated.
  • 35. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION Financial Structure  Principle 9: The accreditation body should have the authority and responsibility for developing and managing its operational budget.  Principle 10: Since the benefits of accreditation accrue to all members of the professions, as well as to accredited programs, their students and the public at large, financial support for an accreditation program should be derived from accredited programs and those seeking accreditation and from the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology as a whole.
  • 36. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION General Nature of Accreditation Standards  Principle 11: Consistent with the public protection responsibility of accreditation, standards should recognize institutional diversity and encourage academic experimentation and innovation. Programs should be encouraged to develop appropriate goals and curricula that are relevant to their strengths and experience and should then be evaluated according to how well they meet their goals.  Principle 12: Standards should be primarily qualitative in nature. Evaluation should emphasize outcomes of the educational process.
  • 37. CAA- PRINCIPLES OF ACCREDITATION  Principle 13: Standards should promote the integration of clinical practice and research through the application of scientific principles and methods.  Principle 14: Standards should be neither prescriptive nor restrictive. Rather, they should be flexible, encouraging reflection and capacity for change.  Principle 15: Standards should recognize that some programs may require direct and more traditional guidelines and standards, while other programs may be encouraged to be more innovative and experimental.
  • 38.
