I do not know all the legal issues in every state. This is what I read from ASHA: Each state has the right to create and enforce its own licensure laws for the protection of consumers of professional services. Due to the recent advances in telepractice, the National Council of State Boards of Examiners in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology has urged state licensing boards to develop statutory language relative to telepractice. The National Council further states that clinicians should be licensed in the state in which the consumer is receiving the service. Prior to initiating telepractice, clinicians should check with regulating bodies such as state licensure boards.
