What kind of education/training is required to become a speech-language pathologist?
In order to become a licensed speech-language pathologist, one must have at least a Masters level education. In addition to being licensed by the state, the individual must obtain a certificate of clinical competence (CCC) from the Association of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists (ASHA). The certificate of clinical competence is awarded once a “Clinical Fellowship” is completed. During the clinical fellowship the individual receives supervision and guidance from a licensed and certified speech language pathologist.
