Hours and cycle
The regulation states: “A minimum of thirty (30) continuing education hours shall be accrued by each person holding licensure as a speech-language pathologist, speech-language pathology assistant, or audiologist during the biennial period for renewal. Two (2) of these hours shall be focused on ethics.”
It states: “All continuing education hours shall be in the field in which the person is licensed. The licensee may use up to a maximum of four (4) hours in a related area for each biennial period.”
Audits and records
It states: “During the licensure renewal period, up to fifteen (15) percent of all licensees shall be selected at random by the board and required to furnish documentation of the completion of the appropriate number of continuing education hours.”
Licensees must document completion of continuing education for two years from the date of renewal (paraphrased).
What this page does not do
It covers the speech-language pathologist license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees, does not cover school credentials issued by a state education agency, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
