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.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The ANCDS Certification Board is pleased to announce that sample case studies have been posted to the ANCDS website to assist individuals interested in pursuing certification. These are case studies written by two members who have completed the certification process. The intent is to give people a sense of the type of writing that is expected for the case studies and the general nature of feedback given by reviewers during the process.
The focus of this ANCDS presentation was to propose new ideas for providing meaningful and effective treatment for individuals with cognitive-communication disorders. The recent explosion of ‘person-centered’-ness is changing the ways we think about the services we deliver to our clients. Clinicians' frustration, and the dissatisfaction of our clients, with the effects of current treatment practices compels us to seek out some new and different treatment approaches.
