State Education Advocacy Leaders

In September, 1999 ASHA held a SEALs (State Education Advocacy Leaders) Symposium representing 50 states plus the District of Columbia, each having a designated SEAL.  Each state's leader was identified as an advocate to implement the IDEA in his/her state plan.  Susan Givler represented OSLHA at this symposium.  Our current Ohio SEAL Representative is Terri Farnham.

The mission of the SEALs network is to enhance and perpetuate the advocacy, leadership. clinical, management skills of school-based ASHA members at the state level to influence administrative and public policy decisions that impact the delivery of speech-language pathology and audiology in school settings.
