The Praxis II
The Praxis II Speech-Language Pathology Test evaluates the beginning clinician's knowledge of fundamental speech-language pathology concepts, as well as current practices in the Field. Passing this test is necessary to obtain the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence and the state license in speech-language pathology.
