It represents a commitment to the profession, to ongoing professional development, and to ASHA’s Code of Ethics.

Speech-language pathologists typically need at least a master’s degree in speech-language pathology. All states require that speech-language pathologists be licensed. Licensure requirements vary by state but typically include clinical experience and passing an exam.
