About the ASLP-IC

The ASLP-IC is an interstate compact, or formal agreement among states, that facilitates interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology.

Under the ASLP-IC, audiologists and speech-language pathologists who are licensed in good standing in a compact member state will be eligible to practice in other compact member states via a “compact privilege,” which is equivalent to a license.

At this time, 37 jurisdictions (36 states and 1 territory) have enacted ASLP-IC legislation to be part of the compact. However, the ASLP-IC is not yet operationalized, meaning the process to apply for and receive compact privileges is in the works. The Commission is working with Inspiring Apps to create the necessary data system to receive applications, provide interstate data communications, and issue privileges to practice.

The current member states are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The ASLP-IC Commission has established rules and bylaws to implement the compact. Committees meet on a regular basis and are open to the public. You can find more information here.
