If there are any SLPs/SLPAs here, let's talk! I've got a bunch of questions about acquiring licensure in some states for it!

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

Wow, thats great!

Where did you go for grad school?

I've sent in some applications and I'm waiting for the results.

If I don't make it, I will work as an SLPA in Texas while studying SLP online :)

Are there SLPAs in Minnesota?

Are there SLPAs in Minnesota?

I went to Purdue, which has an excellent program! It is ranked #2 in the nation, plus I got my Masters for almost-free by being a graduate assistant. I strongly recommend it if you wouldn't mind moving to Indiana.

I'm guessing there are SLPAs in MN although I've never met any!
