Like most states, Illinois has a licensure-by-endorsement process for those already licensed in another U.S. state or territory. The following information is required to become licensed this way:
- Verification of holding a master’s or doctoral degree in speech-language pathology
- Verification that nine months of full-time supervised experience was completed
- Verification that you passed the Praxis exam
- Copy of Certificate of Clinical Competence given by ASHA
- Copies of any professional licenses you hold or held in the past sent directly from the licensing agency
- Verification that the training received is equivalent to the educational requirements set forth by the IDFPR
- $100 application fee
Candidates for endorsement can practice as a speech-language pathologist without an Illinois license for 90 days after submitting the application or until the license is issued, whichever happens first.
You can download the licensure-by-endorsement application packet from the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR) website.
