ASLP-IC Interstate Compact
The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) facilitates the interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology while maintaining public protection.
The CompactConnect data system has launched. Registration is open for licensed practitioners in Louisiana and West Virginia. As more states are launched, the ASLP-IC website will be updated.
Requirements:
- A full valid, unencumbered audiology or speech-language pathology license
- Criminal background check. You can begin this process now as we await the launch of additional states.
You are not eligible for compact privileges if:
- You hold a license that requires supervision
- Have not successfully completed a criminal background check
- Hold a license that is encumbered (Requires supervision or have had discipline within the last two years)
What's next?
Additional ASLP-IC member states must onboard licensees to CompactConnect and meet the compact requirements to issue compact privileges.
Are Applications Open? What states are Issuing Privileges?
Registration for compact privileges to practice is open for licensed practitioners in Louisiana and West Virginia. As more member states launch, this page, as well as the ASLP-IC page will be updated.

About the ASLP-IC
The ASLP-IC is an interstate compact, or formal agreement among states, that facilitates interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology.
Under the ASLP-IC, audiologists and speech-language pathologists who are licensed in good standing in a compact member state will be eligible to practice in other compact member states via a “compact privilege,” which is equivalent to a license.
At this time, 37 jurisdictions (36 states and 1 territory) have enacted ASLP-IC legislation to be part of the compact. The ASLP-IC operationalized on October 28, 2025, meaning the process to apply for and receive compact privileges can be purchased between Louisiana and West Virginia.
The current member states are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The interactive state map lists the current ASLP-IC member states and other states proposing to join the ASLP-IC.
The ASLP-IC Commission has established rules and bylaws to implement the compact. Committees meet on a regular basis and are open to the public. You can find more information here.
The ASLP-IC offers several benefits to the public:
- Improves continuity of care
- Improves portability for military spouses
- Improves access to audiology and speech-language pathology providers
- Increases choice of audiology and speech-language pathology providers
- Facilitates alternate delivery methods (Telehealth)
- Simplifies/speeds up the current process
- Addresses portability & barriers to access
- Practice of audiology and speech-language pathology occurs in the state where the patient/client is located at the time of the patient/client encounter
