Connecticut SLP license renewal and continuing education
Connecticut’s Department of Public Health states: “Each licensee applying for license renewal shall complete a minimum of 20 hours of qualifying continuing education within the preceding twenty-four-month period for which the license is being renewed.”
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.
Sources read on November 12, 2026: the Department of Public Health Speech and Language Pathologist Continuing Education Requirements page, its practitioner licensure general policies, and its list of license types that expire biennially.
Cycle
The department’s general policies state: “Licenses are renewed annually during the licensee’s month of birth.” Speech and language pathology is not on its list of license types that renew every two years (paraphrased). The CE requirement looks back over the preceding twenty-four months (paraphrased).
What counts
Qualifying activities include workshops, courses, online courses, and journal studies with content accepted by ASHA, offered by speech-language-hearing associations, related professional organizations, education agencies, health care institutions, and accredited colleges (paraphrased). “One credit hour for each hour of attendance shall be recognized.”
“The Department does not approve continuing education courses or pre-approve specific coursework for individual licensees, nor does the Department maintain a list of continuing education courses.”
Records
You sign an attestation at renewal and keep attendance records or certificates for at least three years after the year the activities were completed, and send them within 45 days if the department asks (paraphrased).
First renewal and exemptions
“A licensee who is applying for license renewal for the first time is exempt from continuing education requirements until such licensee’s next registration period.” A licensee not practicing during a registration period may apply for an exemption before the period ends (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the speech-language pathologist license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees, does not cover school credentials issued by a state education agency, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
