If you love the diagnostic side of speech-language work and are tired of therapy schedules, paperwork-heavy caseloads, and IEP meetings, this one is for you.

  • Competitive hourly rate of $80–$90
  • Zero therapy planning, IEP duties, or return visits
  • A strong side income for school-based SLPs, private practitioners, or anyone wanting extra work that fits around their main schedule
  • Your day-to-day
  • Administer speech and language assessments to adults and/or children
  • Go over medical and developmental background information
  • Prepare concise, objective written reports
  • Supply the clinical findings used in disability determinations

Requirements
