Is there a requirement for a certain number of courses or semester hours in speech disorders or language disorders?
No. Again, beyond the prerequisite courses noted earlier, there are no specific courses in speech-language pathology required for certification. However, graduate programs will likely have requirements for course work that are above that required for ASHA certification and that is their prerogative. Additionally, individual state licensure boards have requirements that may or may not be the same as the ASHA certification requirements. These differences in requirements may make it necessary for applicants for licensure to be able to provide a breakdown of courses and practicum hours that will satisfy licensure requirements.
