CFY & Beyond

The following are a collection of digital resources that are relevant for students in speech-language pathology, current Clinical Fellows, and those supervising (or soon to be supervising) Clinical Fellows.

Inclusion of items does not constitute endorsement—as with everything online, be a discerning and critical consumer of information! 🙂

Some links require sign-ins, for example, articles in members-only ASHA publications. Otherwise, if a link does not work, please contact me and I’ll fix it.

If you have any resources that would be a great addition to this page, please let me know and I’ll add them!

SLP Interim Permit and Licensure Fee Schedule

WA Interim Permit is valid for one year. The WA DoH does not appear to have a statement regarding how long post-graduation you must complete the interim permit year. The Interim Permit application (page 3 of 4) simply requires that you have a master’s degree–no time constraint is listed on how recent it must be.
