ASHA has recently launched the Communication Health Support Association which "serves as a leading national provider of public information, education, and resources about communication disorders and the related work of audiologists and speech-language pathologists."
https://helpingyoucommunicate.org/

Easy to understand and navigate is a simple and accurate way to describe the new website of the Communication Health Support Association, ASHA’s consumer affiliate.

A completely consumer-friendly resource, this new site launch is designed to provide the public with clear, accessible, and evidence-based content about communication and hearing disorders; the work of audiologists and speech-language pathologists; and how and where users can find help.

The CHSA site has been created to increase the public’s familiarity with the CSD professions and their professionals and strengthen, as well as expand their access to and use of services that can help them achieve effective communication.

Please take time to explore the new CHSA site and share its availability with those in your care, as well as family members, friends, and neighbors. Feedback about the site can be sent to [email protected].

Note: The Communication Health Support Association was formerly known as the National Association for Hearing and Speech Action (NAHSA).
