Who are we?

The Asian Indian Caucus (AIC) is one of six multicultural constituency groups within the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.  It was formed in 1994 by a group of professionals committed to representing the unique needs and interests of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and individuals with communication disorders of Asian-Indian origin.  AIC now maintains an active membership of over 150 members.
