Board of Speech Pathology & Audiology

The Board of Speech Pathology and Audiology licenses speech-language pathologists and audiologists practicing in Hawaii, setting educational requirements, clinical supervision standards, examination requirements, and continuing education mandates. It investigates complaints involving patient harm or unprofessional conduct and can restrict or revoke licenses. The board operates under DCCA and helps ensure quality care for individuals with communication and hearing disorders.

Children with speech disorders and adults with hearing loss or communication challenges rely on qualified practitioners regulated by this board. Parents and patients who have concerns about a practitioner's qualifications or conduct can file a complaint through DCCA.
