Colorado Department of Education Licensure

Speech-language pathologists and audiologists working in the school system must obtain a license from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) as a Special Service Provider.

The progression is from an initial license to a professional license. Both in-state and out-of-state applicants apply for an initial license. The cost is $90.00 and expires in 3 years. The special service provider can then apply for a professional license with appropriate documentation. The cost is $90.00 and expires in 5 years.
