Speech And Language Pathologist License in Connecticut

Connecticut requires a master's or doctorate degree in speech and language pathology from an ASHA-accredited program, successful completion of a Supervised Professional Experience (SPE) period, and passing the NTE Specialty Area Test (Praxis) with a scaled score of 162 (for exams after September 2014; 600 for earlier exams). Connecticut's DPH reporting code is R-7051. An equivalent SPE completed in another state may be accepted, and professional work experience may substitute for the SPE if the applicant held an ASHA CCC or was licensed in another state. Connecticut also issues a temporary permit for SLPs. Fee information is not explicitly provided in the COS data; contact the Department of Public Health for current fee schedules.
