The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association

The ASHA Facebook Page is a place for ASHA members and the public to share information, ask for help, and network. ASHA staff maintain and monitor the Facebook page, but the nature of the discussion here is a reflection of all the people who take the time to be a part of the online community. The following guidelines are meant to provide a framework for participation. The Facebook Terms of Use (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php) provides additional terms for using the Page. These guidelines are subject to change, according to evolving standards and interaction.

•Any comments and messages that attack, ridicule, denounce, impugn a person's character, or impute immoral or dishonorable attributes to community members on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation will be deleted. Repeat offenders may be blocked.

•ASHA uses Facebook's profanity blocking for our Page. Facebook determines what to block by using the most commonly reported words and phrases marked offensive by the community.

•Any comments and messages not relevant to topics covered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association may be deleted.

•Duplicate comments and repeated postings on the same topic cause confusion and clutter the Wall. When discovered, they will be deleted by ASHA staff.

•It is ASHA's policy to house all job postings in our career center (http://careers.asha.org). Jobs posted on the wall of the page on Facebook will be deleted.
