Mr. Susser wants the award recipient to be someone “who embodies the qualities of a professional in the field.” The only other requirement stated was that the faculty and staff select the “most deserving student”.

In its preamble, the Code of Ethics of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association describes the principles of ethics set forth in the code as essential for, “the preservation of the highest standards of integrity and ethical principles vital to the responsible discharge of obligations…”. The preamble further states that , “Principles of Ethics, aspirational and inspirational in nature, form the underlying moral basis for the Code of Ethics. Individuals shall observe these principles as affirmative obligations under all conditions of professional activity”. The ASHA Code of Ethics is presented to students during their new student orientation program.

This is the first contact that students have with the program and they are presented with the clear expectation that they will follow this code throughout their academic and professional lives. Given Mr. Susser’s charge, it was clear that the ASHA Code of Ethics must serve as the basis for the development of the award criteria.

The four Principles of Ethics stated in the ASHA Code of Ethics are as follows:

Principle of Ethics I:

Individuals shall honor their responsibility to hold paramount the welfare of persons they serve professionally or participants in research and scholarly activities and shall treat animals involved in research in a humane manner.

Principle of Ethics II:

Individuals shall honor their responsibility to achieve and maintain the highest level of professional competence.

Principle of Ethics III:

Individuals shall honor their responsibility to the public by promoting public understanding of the professions, by supporting the development of services designed to fulfill the unmet needs of the public, and by providing accurate information in all communications involving any aspect of the professions, including the dissemination of research findings and scholarly activities, and the promotion, marketing, and advertising of products and services.

Principle of Ethics IV:

Individuals shall honor their responsibilities to the professions and their relationships with colleagues, students, and members of other professions and disciplines.

Supporting the next generation of school leaders who champion students with exceptional needs

Purpose

As the number of students with disabilities continues to rise, including those diagnosed with autism and other exceptionalities—our schools need leaders who understand not only instructional quality, but also the legal and ethical responsibilities of serving every child.

This fund invests in the preparation of those leaders. By providing scholarship support to educators pursuing leadership degrees with expertise or active roles in Exceptional Student Education (ESE), the scholarship helps ensure that children with special needs receive the services, advocacy, and compassion they deserve.

A Personal Connection

For the Critelli family, this scholarship carries deep personal meaning. Having experienced the challenges and triumphs of special education firsthand, the family understands how life-changing the right support can be for students, families, and educators alike. This endowment honors that experience while giving back to the community that helped shape their journey.

Vision for Growth

The fund will award one scholarship in the amount of $1,200 each Spring, with a long-term goal of expanding the endowment to support multiple scholars each year. The Critelli family envisions a growing legacy that continues to strengthen South Florida’s schools through well-prepared, compassionate leaders.
