We’re proud to introduce one of our CSHA board members, Linda Falk, MS, CCC-SLP.

Linda has been a speech-language pathologist for over 30 years and currently serves patients across the lifespan in a critical access hospital in northeastern Colorado. From pediatrics to geriatrics, her work reflects a deep commitment to meeting the needs of rural communities.

After moving to northeastern Colorado just over two years ago, Linda was motivated to stay connected to the field and increase awareness of the gaps in rural healthcare services.

Her experience spans owning a pediatric private practice to working in neuro-rehabilitation at Craig Hospital.

This year, Linda will serve as Treasurer for the CSHA Board, and we are grateful for her leadership and dedication.

What does “fair access” mean when communicatio

What does “fair access” mean when communication itself is a barrier?

Communication disorders, including TBI, dyslexia, and developmental language disorder, are over-represented in justice settings. When attention, memory, listening, or expressive language are impacted, navigating legal systems becomes profoundly difficult.

Pathways to Participation: Reimagining Communication Equity in TBI & Justice brings together SLPs, legal professionals, disability advocates, and people with lived experience to explore practical, trauma-informed strategies that increase meaningful participation and reduce inequity.

Featuring international experts Catherine Wiseman-Hakes, PhD, SLP and Joe Wzsalek, JD, PhD, plus policy advisors from the Colorado Disability Opportunity Office.

📍 MSU Denver | Auraria Campus
Friday, March 6, 2026 | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
FREE for MSU Denver students & faculty
$25 for external attendees

SLPs, from schools to medical teams, are part of the solution. Join us and be part of the conversation that connects communication, equity, and justice.

We had the honor of partnering with CU Boulder to

We had the honor of partnering with CU Boulder to host the first SLP job fair for graduate students in the state of Colorado, and it was truly incredible to witness the energy, collaboration, and support in the room.

We are deeply thankful for our community partners who showed up to invest in the next generation of SLPs. Representatives from 7 different practice settings shared real-world insight, interview tips, and even provided on-the-spot resume reviews for students. Opportunities like this make a lasting impact.

It was especially exciting to see graduate students attend from UNC, MSU Denver, and CU Boulder, all coming together to explore career paths and connect with future employers.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizations who participated in CSHA’s 2026 SLP Job Fair:
27J School District, A&I Early Intervention, Amazing Care, Aveanna, Beyond Therapy, Confident Therapies, Forbes AAC, Gillem Staffing, Jeffco School District, LifeCare Skilled Nursing, MGA Home Health, OASIS, Spark Home Health, SPG, and Sunny Speech Solutions.
