What SLPs and audiologists miss in Vermont
- Vermont regulates SLPs through the Office of Professional Regulation with appointed SLP advisors, not a stand-alone board.
- Vermont's compact law is enacted, but OPR says the compact is not yet active there, so a Vermont license is still required.
- Unprofessional conduct in Vermont includes violating any part of the ASHA Code of Ethics, even for non-members.
Can I practice in Vermont on an ASLP Compact privilege?
Vermont has enacted the ASLP Compact but is not issuing privileges yet. Until it does, practicing here takes a Vermont license, and a Vermont license does not yet give you a privilege anywhere else.
- Enacted, not issuing yet
Can an SLP or audiologist licensed elsewhere get a Vermont license by endorsement?
SLPs licensed in another state for the last three years can use Vermont's Fast Track Endorsement to relocate or work in Vermont. Others apply with the standard education, postgraduate training and exam requirements.
- Endorsement route available
