Speech language pathologists (SLP) help children and adults assess and correct critical problems with their speech sounds and language. Several patient types benefit from working with SLPs, including language-delayed children, adults who lost their ability to speak after a brain injury or an illness and seniors who suffered a stroke or similar condition affecting their speech. These professionals also often help those with dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, as a side effect of cancer or another illness.
Education Requirements for Speech Language Pathologists
Most employers require SLPs to have a master’s degree at minimum. Enrolling in a master’s degree program requires a 4-year bachelor’s degree in a related field. Completing your master’s program typically requires an additional 2 years of schooling. The time it takes to complete your education may vary based on your class schedule and the program.
Once you’ve completed your master’s degree, you must complete a 2-year clinical fellowship with approximately 1,260 hours of mentored clinical experience.
Obtaining your education from an accredited institution within the United States and following the requirements for your degree and your state’s governing board helps you secure high-pay speech language pathologist jobs.
