Hi everyone, I would like to know if I speak English fluently but with an accent, am I still qualified to be a speech pathologist in US? Thanks!

According to ASHA you should not be denied from any grad school program or job due to an accent or dialect.

I also went to school with 2 people who had accents and they are working in the field.

Here is ASHA's current position statement:
