You shouldn't have to choose between a dependable paycheck and a job that moves your career forward.
Many SLPA jobs advertise attractive per-visit rates, but cancellations, open schedules, and growing caseloads can make your actual paycheck unpredictable.
At Dallas Reading & Language Services, you get something different: guaranteed full-time pay, a clear path to $20/hour during your first year, productivity bonuses, team bonuses, and hands-on mentorship from experienced SLPs.
Start with stability. Build your skills. Grow your income.
Start With Stability
Building a caseload takes time. Your paycheck shouldn't disappear while that happens.
You'll Receive
40 paid hours per week
Consistent hourly pay while your caseload is developing
No lost hourly pay when clients cancel
Health, dental, and vision benefits
Paid time off
401(k)
You can focus on becoming a great SLPA without worrying about every opening in your schedule.
Compensation That Grows With You
Your hourly paycheck is your foundation, not your ceiling.
As your productivity increases, you can earn $20 for every productivity unit above 40, on top of your regular hourly paycheck.
Example: 45 units = your regular paycheck + a $100 productivity bonus.
Qualifying preparation and support work can also count toward productivity, so seeing clients isn't the only way to earn bonus units.
You'll also have opportunities to receive additional team bonuses based on the performance of the practice.
And while you're earning bonuses, your hourly rate follows a clear first-year growth path.
New SLPAs entering the profession start at $16/hour and progress to $20/hour by the end of the first year as they successfully progress in the position:
Start: $16/hour
3 months: $17/hour
6 months: $18/hour
9 months: $19/hour
12 months: $20/hour
No wondering when your next opportunity for a raise will come.
Guaranteed pay. Clear raises. Individual bonuses. Shared success.
