A foreign-trained speech-impaired applicant shall notify the Board before taking a Board-approved standardized test of oral competency. The Board shall attempt to locate a speech-language pathologist fluent in the applicant's native language to assess the impairment. A foreign-trained applicant who is in need of foreign accent reduction, but has competency in his or her native language, may obtain assistance from a bilingual speech-language pathologist before attempting to pass the test of spoken English.
