Speech-Language Pathologist License

Ordinary full license. School practice ordinarily requires this license under RSA 326-F:3(IV)(a); the historical speech-language-specialist exception in paragraph IV(b) is a pre-existing Department of Education credential, not another license issued by this Board. A compact privilege under RSA 326-F:17 derives from a home-state license and is a separate practice authorization, not issuance of a New Hampshire single-state license.
