Reciprocity Between States

[lauren8908]

Does anyone know how easily transferable an SLP license is from West Virginia, which is where I'll be going to grad school, to Pennsylvania? I am also wondering about the license to practice in the schools as I know each state has different requirements to get it. I looked on the ASHA website but can't find anything specific about it. Also, is it pretty much expected that you complete your CFY in the state from which you get your master's degree?

I'm not sure about reciprocity between WV and PA; the PA site seems to have a form that you send in with your transcript to judge if your education and training are adequate for practice in PA:

And I believe that you can complete your CFY anywhere, even internationally, as long as whoever is supervising you has her C's.
