The fine print most trackers miss
Louisiana-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Up to 48 of the 96 supervision hours may be group supervision unless the board approves up to 72 hours by written request
- Louisiana no longer uses the older 5,760-hour LCSW framework; the current statute and code require 3,000 supervised postgraduate hours
Built for Louisiana
How ClearPath handles Louisiana LCSW
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the direct-client requirements, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the Louisiana State Board of Social Work Examiners from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
