Renewal season is here, and the confusion is real: what’s the difference between ASHA membership and the CCC, and what do SLPs actually need to practice? In this episode, we discuss the legal authority of your state license, why the CCC is sold as a product, what “membership perks” really mean, and when keeping or dropping the CCC matters for supervision, Medicaid billing, or employer policies. Clear, actionable, and timely. This is your guide to making the right renewal decision.
