ASHA Wakes From Coma; Finally Discovers Movie About Stuttering

ASHA is discovering this movie -
five months after it was released.
Released way back on September 6th in 2010, "The King's Speech," a movie about the King of England's relationship with his speech therapist, is a critical and box-office smash. ASHA took five long months to give major attention to the film in the pages of The ASHA Leader, which must be some sort of record as ASHA usually takes years to become aware of what the rest of the country is up to (the ASHA Leader was still enthusiastic about Obamacare long after the majority of Americans had turned fiercely against it. And ASHA-PAC was still giving money to Nancy Pelosi long after it became clear to anyone with an IQ of three figures that she was going to lose her position as majority speaker. ). At the rate it's going, I expect ASHA to catch up with that crazy disco dancing craze sometime around Memorial Day weekend (by the way, I know someone who has a signed autograph of KC and the Sunshine Band if ASHA's board of directors is interested).
The ASHA Leader makes a point of mentioning that Lionel Logue, the King's speech therapist, was uncredentialed. Imagine that: someone actually having the audacity to treat someone without ASHA butting into their career and training. How dare someone without their ccc's treat the King of England! What if - heaven forbid! - Lionel Logue didn't adhere to ASHA's ethics code about transexuals? What if he (like most normal people) didn't like hanging around transvestites and other deranged sociopathic lowlifes?
Lionel was a devout Christian Scientist for most of his life - which means that he most likely would have disapproved of the immoral lifestyles that ASHA is apparently, IMO, trying to convince its members to accept as nothing more than examples of "multicultural diversity."
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald -
- quote(s) Dr Caroline Bowen, a speech and language pathologist who has researched Logue’s practice, saying ”As a Christian Scientist, Logue was passionate about healing, and perhaps this, coupled with his background in elocution, led to [his treatment of] returned servicemen who had speech disorders attributed to shell shock.”  Link
 ASHA never mentions the Christian faith that gave Logue a passion for healing. No surprise there. None. Whatsoever.

Despite ASHA's heavy marketing of itself, ASHA's credentialing is meaningless. Having your ccc's does not make you a better therapist.
Just ask Lionel Logue and King George.
Uncredentialed and he didn't have his ASHA ccc's: Lionel Logue - Christian Scientist and King George's speech therapist
