Speech-Language Pathology Audiology Board

Notice: In response to COVID-19 and the impact it is having on the State of Indiana, the Professional Licensing Agency will have the majority of our staff working remotely in the coming weeks. While routine operations of the agency will continue, please note that there may be disruptions or delays in the processing of your requests. Please prioritize the usage of email to communicate with our staff whenever possible and scan any documents (except applications) that need to be processed. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work best to protect our staff and serve Hoosiers in these ever-changing times.

For any information or questions regarding Emergency Permits in Communication Disorders, please refer to the following memo released by the Indiana Department of Education. Please find memo here.

Please note that you must have a Speech Language Pathology license through our office to practice as a SLP in the State of Indiana, including all school districts.  School districts may also require you to have a license through DOE in addition to a license issued by the Board.  If you have any questions, please contact our office at pla4@pla.in.gov

Licensing Information

Effective immediately: Due to statutory requirements regarding processing times for application fees, the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency will no longer accept more than ten (10) fees per individual check for the application or renewal of a license issued by the Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology Board.

If a check is received with more than ten (10) fees per check, it may result in the return of your check along with the applications or renewals to your program for correction.  Further delays in processing time, as a result of more than ten (10) fees per check, may also lead to potential late fees. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your partnership as we continue to work together to issue licenses as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please email pla4@pla.in.gov.
