What SLPs and audiologists miss in Connecticut

Can I practice in Connecticut on an ASLP Compact privilege?

Can an SLP or audiologist licensed elsewhere get a Connecticut license by endorsement?
An SLP or audiologist licensed in another state who has four years of licensed work experience and a clean record everywhere can be licensed on license verifications alone, with no transcripts, training proof or exam. Others apply on education, supervised experience and the exam, and out-of-state work experience can replace the supervised period.
