On September 21, 2011, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) filed a motion in U.S. District Court seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent ASHA from making false statements, in correspondence, on Web sites, or in any other form or manner, stating or implying that the CCC-A is necessary for a licensed audiologist to provide clinical services and/or to supervise students, aides and assistants. The Academy is closely monitoring ADA's recently filed lawsuit against ASHA and will report to its members as developments warrant. The Academy supports the objectives of this legal challenge. The Academy has been advised by counsel to limit its commentary on the lawsuit while the action is pending.
