Colorado Licensure Requirements for Audiologists
DORA mandates that audiologists must obtain state licensure to practice in the state of Colorado. A speech-language pathologist who holds a special services license issued by the Department of Education and also works outside of the educational setting is not required to obtain certification from DORA.
