Rules 

Licensure of Assistants

After June 25, 2010 when our rules are in affect, an individual applying as a new Audiology Assistant will be given a license number such as AUDA1 and charged a prorated fee for licensure. They will then pay to renew there license along with everyone else by December 31st.   
After June 25, 2010 those currently authorized as AUDA's will  receive a letter from the board office of the new rules.  This letter will explain that they are no longer considered authorized to practice as  AUDA's but licensed to practice as AUDA's and given a licensure number (like the one listed above.) We will also explain that  with this change to licensure comes a change of the period of time that an AUDA is considered licensed.  The licensure period is now changed to the calendar year and they will be required to pay $85.00 and renew there license each year by December 31.

The Speech-Language Pathology Assistants will not be considered licensed until May of 2012.  So, on June 25, 2010 the application for authorization as an SLP Assistant will remain the same as now. The assistant will pay the $85.00 and reapply for authorization when their year is up.   

For the next two years we will continue to authorize SLPA's.  SLPA's will not be numbered until May of 2012.
