What is ASHA Certification?
The Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) is granted by ASHA in both speech-language pathology and audiology. It is a nationally recognized credential for the professions. Speech language pathologists and audiologists who possess a graduate degree are eligible to apply for voluntary certification, which requires the completion of a graduate (master’s or PhD) degree, a supervised clinical fellowship, and a passing score on a national examination. Additionally, the candidate for certification must acquire the requisite knowledge and skills mandated by certification standards while enrolled in a program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA; ASHA, 2013).
Our providers are nationally certified, have master of science degrees, continually participate in and exceed continuing education requirements and have earned numerous advanced certificates in specialty areas.

Tammara Has Over 25 Years of Experience!
"I am so grateful my physical therapist highly recommended Tammara Carrara for my speech, cognitive and swallowing assessment and therapy after sustaining two concussions in a fall and a bicycle crash two years ago. I began speech therapy in the hospital and home care in Florida, but when I arrived in Killington for the summer and fall I was still experiencing difficulties with my memory, decision making, organizing, executive skills, word finding and swallowing.
As an artist and writer these problems made it too frustrating and challenging for me to do my work.
Tammara assessed my challenges and helped me in unique ways, providing materials to help me each day and connecting me with resources to meet my needs. She raised my spirits and gave me hope, encouraged and understood me. She is patient and kind, perceptive and excellent in her work as a speech therapist. When I left I had the tools to continue to improve on my own.
Now I am writing my weekly column again in “The Mountain Times” and have just set up my first solo exhibit of my paintings of France in several years. These are both major steps in my brain recovery and I thank Tammara Carrara for helping me regain my confidence and abilities."
