Emergency Management Assistance Compact
On March 23, 2020, Governor Noem issued Executive Order 2020-07 (https://covid.sd.gov/docs/2020-07.pdf) which recognizes the licenses of medical professionals licensed in another state in accordance with the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. Speech-language pathologists licensed in other states have the authority to practice in SD based on an active license in another state. They do not need to gain another license in SD. The Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology recommends that if you are utilizing the services of a speech-language pathologist licensed in other states that you verify the licensure status of that individual. Please contact our office with any questions that you have during this Coronavirus Pandemic.
The mission of the South Dakota Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology is to protect the health and safety of the public by licensure of qualified persons and enforcement of the statutes, rules and regulations governing the practice of speech language pathology, including the appropriate processing and resolution of complaints.
