Florida Licensing Body

Florida will grant licensure by endorsement for those with a valid license issued in a U.S. state or territory, and the criteria to attain the license must be equal to or more stringent than the licensure criteria in Florida. Licenses are also issued for those with valid certificates of clinical competence issued by ASHA. If you are currently being investigated for an act considered to be a violation of Florida’s statutes, the Board has the right to deny licensure.
