Source read on November 12, 2026: Ohio Administrative Code rule 4753-4-01 (Continuing education), effective January 5, 2026.
Hours and cycle
The rule states: “A licensee shall earn twenty continuing education hours within the two-year licensure period immediately preceding the licensee's renewal application.”
It states: “One continuing education hour is equivalent to one clock hour of continuing education.”
What the hours must cover
The rule states: “Ten continuing education hours shall be acquired in the area of licensure.” For a speech-language pathology license, it says those ten hours must be specific to the clinical practice of speech-language pathology, and that the other ten may be in related areas such as practice management, supervision, and ethics (paraphrased).
It states: “At least two continuing education hours shall relate to ethics.”
No carryover
The rule states: “Continuing education hours may not be carried over from one practice biennium to the next and may not be used for more than one biennium or relicensure.”
For the compact, including which states are issuing privileges, see the ASLP-IC page (checked separately).
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.
