Perspectives is the member publication for the Special Interest Divisions of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. The Divisions began publishing newsletters for their affiliates in 1991. Those publications have expanded and evolved over the years and are now reviewed according to the criteria set forth by the Continuing Education Board of ASHA.
Further, all of the Divisions are ASHA approved Continuing Education Providers and, as such, publish content on the graduate level for the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology, enabling their affiliates to earn Continuing Education credits for self-study of Perspectives.
Perspectives are focused on narrow topics of interest to professionals practicing in or conducting research related to communications sciences and disorders. Typically, Perspectives are disorder-oriented (e.g., swallowing and swallowing disorders), though some divisions focus on topics across disorders (e.g., gerontology or diversity) or that relate to pedagogy or supervision.
Each Perspectives boasts an editor with special knowledge and expertise in the focus topics of that division. Each division's content is reviewed by a Continuing Education Administrator and a standing Board of Reviewers who ensure that content meets requirements for ASHA continuing education self-studies.
In continuous publication since 1991, Perspectives on Fluency and Fluency Disorders (formerly called the Division 4, Fluency and Fluency Disorders Newsletter) is published three times annually (February, August, and November) by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). This Special Interest Division and its publication focus on the study of characteristics and processes related to normal fluency of speech; prevention, assessment, and treatment of fluency disorders, including neurophysiologic, cognitive, psychological, social, and cultural factors.
