The Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) facilitates the interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology while maintaining public protection.
ASLP-IC is an interstate compact, which is an agreement between states to enact legislation and enter into a contract for a specific, limited purpose or address a particular policy issue.
Current Status of ASLP-IC
ASLP-IC will become operational when ten states have enacted ASLP-IC legislation. The interactive state map lists the current ASLP-IC member states and other states proposing to join the ASLP-IC.
Privilege to Practice Once ten states enact ASLP-IC, licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists will be able to apply for a privilege to practice in-person and through telehealth in ASLP-IC states.
The ASLP-IC offers several benefits to the public.
