Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact
The ASLP Interstate Compact has been enacted in many states, but only a small number are currently issuing/accepting compact privileges via CompactConnect. Most member states are still pending operational implementation — verify per-state status before relying on compact privilege.
Ohio is an active ASLP Compact member state. If your primary state of residence is also a compact member, you may be able to practice in Ohio under your multistate license or compact privilege without applying for a separate Ohio license.
