After years of dedicated lobbying and advocacy by MNSHA, we’re excited to announce that Minnesota has officially passed the ASLP-IC!

This milestone wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our members. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬, helping us advocate for legislation like this! Please join MNSHA or new by October 1st to continue funding our advocacy efforts: https://mnsha.org/members/

The ASLP-IC allows licensed speech-language pathologists and audiologists licensed in other compact states to obtain a privilege to practice in Minnesota and practice face-to-face or through telehealth across state lines without having to become fully licensed in additional compact states. A privilege to practice is equivalent to a license and requires practitioners to meet minimum standards of practice required in the state they are seeking to practice. It also adds feeding and swallowing, as well as fluency, to the list of areas covered by the SLP.
