Welcome to MSHA's website, the official website of the Massachusetts Speech-Language-Hearing Association. On these pages, we hope that you will be able to find the information you are seeking concerning professional issues, connecting to colleagues and our Association.

This expanded website will provide more information, more resources and more direct links to MSHA's Executive Council. We now have a member's only section with online sign-up and renewal capability, an online member directory and a discussion forum. We have recently added pages for Speech-Language Pathologists in Health Care, and information about the use of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology assistants. We are continuing to add new content each quarter.

If you are a consumer, we hope to provide you with useful information about Speech, Language, Hearing and Swallowing Disorders. You can also look for a qualified Audiologist or Speech-Language Pathologist by using our Public Referral Directory.

If you are a Speech-Language Pathologist, Audiologist or Speech-Language Scientist who is not currently a member, we would like to have you join us.

The Massachusetts Speech-Language-Hearing Association was established in 1949 to realize the founding philosophy of providing persons in the fields of human communication disorders with the opportunity to establish common standards, to exchange information and ideas, and to act as a strong, unified voice for upgrading the profession within our state. MSHA is a recognized professional association for audiologists and speech-language pathologists by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA.)

MSHA is committed to serving the needs of our colleagues and advocating for the needs of individuals affected by communication and swallowing disorders. We are your voice on Beacon Hill, and your resource for information about legislative issues on the federal level. We represent your interests and your needs across the state and across practice settings. Please consider joining us today.
