Dear ANCDS Members,
Dear ANCDS Voting Members,
It's time for the next ANCDS newsletter! As always, we're seeking your help to keep it a relevant and timely publication.
Dear ANCDS Members,
Submit your nominations, including the following information, no later than June 30, 2021, to the ANCDS Honors Committee, c/o Mary Kennedy, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Rinker Health Science Campus 290B, Chapman University, 9401 Jeronimo Road, Irvine, CA 92618, or by email to [email protected].
The ANCDS Student Fellowship Program was developed in 2011. Start-up funds for the original awards were contributed by Dr. Lawrence Shriberg, keynote speaker for the 2010 ANCDS Annual Scientific Meeting, who donated his honorarium back to the ANCDS. Funds to sustain the program continue to be provided by the ANCDS Executive Board and through donations from ANCDS members.
The Honors of the ANCDS is the highest award bestowed by the academy. It is awarded to those who have displayed excellence in clinical assessment and treatment, research, mentorship, teaching, and service to the community and to the ANCDS. This year, the ANCDS is honoring an individual who, for over 40 years, has made significant contributions to individuals who have neurologic communication disorders.
This year, the ANCDS Annual Business Meeting and Presentation of the Honors of the Academy is going virtual! Although we cannot be together in person this year, this will be a special opportunity for members of the Academy to connect, to hear of the work being carried out within the organization, and to honor one of our esteemed colleagues. The Student Fellowship Awardees will also be announced!
It is time once again to renew your ANCDS membership for the 2021 calendar year!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
ANCDS offers a group mentoring program typically twice a year, which is announced in the newsletter and through ANCDS social media sites. Email [email protected] for more details. Potential candidates may also reach out to certified members who can mentor them before they decide to apply; however, they cannot be mentored during the application process. Mentorship will focus on general details of the process, how to select a case, and the type of information to be included in a case study.
