I wish to retire my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC), change my certification status
to CCC-A (Retired) or CCC-SLP (Retired), and continue my affiliation with ASHA. My
signature below provides the assurance that I understand that I am changing my
certification status, and have read and agree to abide by all of the following requirements:
1. The retirement of my CCC-A or CCC-SLP has changed my certification status to CCC-A (Retired) or
CCC-SLP (Retired). This change may impact my current membership status and options for continued
affiliation as a valued ASHA member.
2. I am retired from clinical practice.
Clinical practice
is defined as providing or supervising the provision
of clinical services.
3. I do not and will not mentor or supervise a Clinical Fellow.
4. I do not and will not provide or supervise clinical services.
Clinical servic
es are defined as evaluation
and treatment of persons with speech-language and/or hearing impairments, whether such services
are provided in elementary or secondary schools, in private practice, or in free-standing community
clinics, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, nursing homes, or other facilities.
5. I will continue to abide by the current Code of Ethics of the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association.
6. My CCC-A (Retired) or CCC-SLP (Retired) status may be made available to the public.
7. The CCC-A (Retired) or CCC-SLP (Retired) status no longer requires that I meet certification
maintenance professional development requirements; however, my CCC-A (Retired) or CCC-SLP
(Retired) status is contingent upon payment of annual membership dues and fees upon receipt of
the annual invoice.
8. I will cease using the designation CCC-A or CCC-SLP and will instead use the designation CCC-A
(Retired) or CCC-SLP (Retired) upon approval of my retirement status.
9. If I decide I want to hold the CCC again, I must go through the certification reinstatement process.
My application will then be subject to reinstatement procedures current at that time, which may
include completing professional development hours and retaking the national Praxis exam.
I affirm that the information provided in this affidavit is accurate.
