Sharon Clagett, M.A. CCC-SLP has been recognized for her National Certification by the State of West Virginia as having met the requirements by law and the West Virginia Board of Education. Ms. Clagett received certification in speech language pathology in 1986 from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. In 2006 Senate Bill 783 was passed by the West Virginia Legislature giving equal status to speech pathologists and audiologists who hold national certification just as teachers can be recognized for meeting national certification standards.
Speech pathologists are required to hold a master’s degree in speech pathology, pass a national exam, and complete rigorous practicum experiences during training. In their first job setting the speech pathologist works with a certified supervisor and completes a clinical fellowship year.
In November 2006 the first 100 nationally certified speech pathologists, audiologists, and school counselors were recognized by West Virginia. In December 2007, the second 100 were recognized. This will hopefully continue until all nationally certified personnel are recognized.
Denise Jones, M.S. CCC-SLP also is nationally certified and is waiting her turn for West Virginia to recognize her achievements.
