Kandykane Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I wonder if you need to go back to school to get a certificate? Or can you just work with your bachlors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kataphora Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It depends on the state you're planning on working in. California has a fieldwork component that you'll have to complete through a school here... Loma Linda and CSUN both offer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurespeechpath1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It depends on the state, but in Illinois you'll need an associates degree from a community college typically and then pass the licensure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH13 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Usually all you need is your bachelor’s degree. Check with your state to see if you have the courses required. In TX, levelling courses usually don’t fulfill the educational requirements, but it’s only 1-2 classes short. You do need to have 25 hours of observation and 25 hrs of direct client experience, meaning you’re providing therapy with a CCC’ed SLP supervising the entire 25 hours. Most UG programs fulfill the observation, but don’t offer opportunity to provide direct therapy services. Most jobs you can obtain that quite easily.

KendallSLPA Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Like everyone mentioned above, it depends on the state. I have mine in Arizona. I got a supplemental certificate through my undergraduate program along with my bachelors degree. After I graduated I was then required to do 100 hours of treatment with clients with 100% supervison from a licensed SLP. Then I had to apply for a liscense with proof of 100 hours completed and pay $300 fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGirl Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If you live in California you have to complete 70-100 hrs of fieldwork. I read on here that you don't have to enter an SLPA program all you really have to do is complete your clinical hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
