What qualifications should a speech therapist have in India?

Speech Therapy FAQs

In India, a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist must hold a recognised degree and be registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). This registration is a legal requirement for practising as an SLP — not an optional credential. Always verify qualifications before enrolling your child in a programme.

Required qualifications

The minimum qualification is a Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (BASLP) from an RCI-recognised university. Advanced practitioners hold a Master of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (MASLP). RCI registration must be current and verifiable on the RCI portal.

All Speech-Language Pathologists at Global Child Wellness Center are RCI-registered and hold recognised BASLP or MASLP degrees — ensuring every family receives clinically sound, professionally accountable care.
