Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC)
The ASLP-IC covers audiologists and speech-language pathologists, not assistants. Its official site says 37 jurisdictions have enacted compact legislation, and that registration for compact privileges is open for licensed practitioners in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

What it is
The official ASLP-IC FAQ, checked November 12, 2026 at aslpcompact.gov, states: “The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) is an interstate agreement that provides a pathway by which audiologists and speech-language pathologists can obtain the authorization to practice in states where they do not hold a license.” The ASLP-IC homepage states: “At this time, 37 jurisdictions (36 states and 1 territory) have enacted ASLP-IC legislation to be part of the compact.”
Which states are issuing privileges
The homepage states: “Registration for compact privileges to practice is open for licensed practitioners in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.” It also states: “Additional ASLP-IC member states must onboard licensees to CompactConnect and meet the compact requirements to issue compact privileges.” The official Compact Map, read November 12, 2026, is the source for member status. On that date it marked 32 jurisdictions as enacted but not yet issuing privileges, 5 as issuing privileges (Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia), and 3 with active legislation (Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania); those 37 enacted jurisdictions match the homepage count. The SLP state board directory shows each jurisdiction’s map status.
Who is eligible
The FAQ states that a practitioner’s home state must be a compact member and that the practitioner must have:
- An active, unencumbered license in their home state.
- Earned an accredited degree according to Section 3E and 3F of the compact.
- Completed a supervised practicum and approved national examination.
- Completed a supervised post-graduate professional experience (applicable to speech-language pathologists only).
- No disqualifying criminal history.
- A valid Social Security Number or National Practitioner Identifier.
It states: “Assistants are not eligible for compact privileges. Individuals with Department of Education credentials alone are not eligible for compact privileges.” It also states: “If your role requires supervision (such as a clinical fellowship), you are not eligible to practice through the compact.”
On ASHA certification, the FAQ states that holding the CCC “is not a requirement to participate in the compact. However, each member state retains authority over the requirements for licensure in their state.”
How applications work
The FAQ states: “When registration opens in your home state, visit CompactConnect”. It also states: “Although your state enacting the compact is a necessary step, it does not automatically approve your license for use in other participating states. Practitioners must apply for the privilege to practice in each state through the compact.”
On continuing education: “Practitioners only need to complete continuing education requirements in their home state.” On jurisprudence: “Practitioners will need to complete jurisprudence examinations in each state where they are required as part of their compact privilege application.” On schools: “If a state Department of Education requires a separate credential to practice in the school system, you must obtain that credential to practice in schools.”
Fees are set by the commission and each state and are listed on the official site. This site does not copy fee amounts.
The homepage also states: “Practice of audiology and speech-language pathology occurs in the state where the patient/client is located at the time of the patient/client encounter”. This site does not cover audiology as a career track.
