“When I received my Masters in 1977, a wise professor told us the most important thing we learned in grad school was the value of learning, reflective thinking and asking questions. I have always had a commitment to learn something new every day, and to ask questions that make me a more critical thinker. The ASHA Community provides a wonderful way to share information, learn from others, [and] problem-solve patient and professional issues.”
