If the RPE Hasn Passed the Required Examination, Can He or She Continue to Practice in a Non-Exempt Setting As Long As I Continue to Provide Supervision?
No. The Temporary RPE License is issued for 1 full-year for full time experience and 2 full-years for part-time experience, which enables the RPE to continue practicing under your supervision beyond the required minimum 36 weeks/ 72 weeks of required experience. The additional timeframe of the Temporary License allows for the final processing of the RPE Verification form. Continued supervision of an RPE beyond the expiration of the Temporary RPE License is unlicensed practice and is grounds for the SLPAB to issue a citation and fine to both the RPE and the supervisor.
