Question about S-LP Licensing Requirements
Hello,
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist interested in working in Arizona in the future.
I hold dual citizenship with Canada and the USA. I have two years of experience, am currently certified by CASLPA, and am in the process of becoming certified by ASHA.
My question is regarding the Praxis exam - under the "Mutual Recognition Agreement", I am able to gain ASHA certification without writing the Praxis exam, as I have already passed the very similar CASLPA exam. However, I note that under your State licensing requirements, the Praxis exam is listed.
I would appreciate your advice about this - will I be required to write the Praxis exam in order to practice in Arizona?
Thanks so much for your time.
Best regards,
Fiona MacIntosh
There is a good chance that you would not need to take the Praxis if ASHA has reciptority with CASLPA. You may want to contact the licensing office directly with your questions. http://azdhs.gov/als/hadisp/index.htm
