I am in support of eliminating 18VAC30-21-60(A)(2)(c) and allow an applicant to qualify for licensure without holding a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Assocation (ASHA). SLPs deserve a full, unrestricted license following graduation from graduate school and passing the praxis. The clinical fellowship only restricts employment opportunities and hinders children from receiving speech therapy services.
