All correspondence and inquiries should be directed to the Board of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology staff at 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3258. Since this Board serves as a "quasi judicial" entity on licensure issues, contact with the members may cause the members to be recused from administrative proceedings. Staff will direct inquiries, when appropriate to the full Board for review.
