What type of credentialing process is in place for SLPAs?
SLPAs are licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations (IDFPR). IDFPR’s web site contains information including the Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Practice Act and license applications and forms. Graduates of C.O.D.’s SLPA program may apply for licensure following successful completion of the program. The fee for licensure is $45, and the license must be renewed every two years.
