Titles and Credits

Upon review of my first blog, I realise that I did not correctly merit the ANE faculty .
John Moran should be credited with Ed. D.

Elsa Abele CCC, SLP is on the board at ANE , and with Pamela Ely Martins, M.S., CCC, SLP have a combined lifetime of experiences. Elsa was Pamela's professor, and it made me think how good Elsa must feel to be able to work with such a inspiring professional, and say "she's one of my students". Pride indeed.

But what exactly do all these letter mean???? Liz Etheridge's for example should be followed with MS., OTR/L , and even my own name can be followed with a BA.hons,,,so I did some research and here's a overview of all the letters,,,,,,,
