Individuals who wish to provide input about Brescia’s graduate speech-language pathology program may do so in two ways:

  1. Submit written comments prior to the accreditation site visit on Nov. 20-21, 2025. All comments are due in the Accreditation Office no later than three (3) business days before the first day of the scheduled site visit. Comments received after this time will not be forwarded to the site visit team for consideration during the accreditation review, in accordance with the procedures specified in Chapter XII of the Accreditation Handbook. Comments may be submitted by email ([email protected]), fax (301-296-8570), or mailed to:

  2. Provide comments to the site visit team during the program’s scheduled site visit, during the public meeting.

All comments must:

Identify the specific program seeking initial accreditation with the CAA;

all written testimony—including comments faxed or submitted as email attachments— must include the commenter’s name, address, telephone contact information, and the commenter’s relationship to the program in order for Accreditation staff to verify the source of the testimony;
