Sifa ya Kustahili
Speech-language pathologist licence
A master's degree, a supervised clinical fellowship and a national exam, for one of the highest employed-share figures on this site.
Gharama ya kupata nusu ya safu hiyo ni ile ya katikati.
Miezi mingi ya mazoezi, yaani, muda mrefu zaidi unachukua muda mrefu zaidi.
Miezi mingi ya malipo ya ziada yanayohitajiwa ili kulipia gharama hiyo, si miezi tu kabla ya kumaliza mafunzo hayo.

Gharama hiyo ni nini, na kile ambacho si kitu
The federal programme code here, CIP 51.02, covers speech-language pathology together with audiology. At master's level it is overwhelmingly speech-language pathology, because audiology moved to a clinical doctorate, so the blending is mild — but it is blending. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
Two years of full-time graduate study after a bachelor's degree, then a supervised clinical fellowship of about nine months and the Praxis examination before full licensure.
State licences renew every one to two years; ASHA certification requires 30 hours of continuing education every three years and an annual fee.
Ni watu wangapi walio na maoni hayo, na ni wangapi wanaofanya kazi shambani
Idadi ya mshahara inaondoka
Wa Iram, wenye majumba marefu? 216,272 ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists in the United States ilihesabiwa 2025, Rekodi za kazi za serikali za serikali zinaonyesha kwamba 183,390 Kufanya kazi katika shughuli mbalimbali ni kwa ajili ya faida ya faida 84.8%. Hilo laondoka 32,882 Hauna lawama kwa hayo.
Pengo hilo ni la juu, si kiwango cha ukosefu wa kazi ya kuajiriwa. Kushikilia hati za habari si sawa na kutafuta kazi kwa ajili ya kazi.
Pande zote mbili zinaonwa kuwa muhimu. Wenye kushikilia tarehe moja dhidi ya kuajiriwa katika kipindi cha wakati cha aina ileile, hiyo ndiyo sababu pekee ya wote wawili kuweza kugawanywa.
Hesabu hiyo inahusisha nini?: People, from ASHA's year-end count of 218,646 speech-language pathologists, less the 2,374 based outside the United States. Audiologists are counted separately and are not in this number. One caveat travels with it: ASHA is a membership and certification body, not a licensing board, so this is a count of people holding its certificate rather than of people licensed by a state. The two overlap heavily — the certificate is the usual basis for state licensure — but they are not the same set, and it includes people certified and not working.
Denonator: ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists in the United States = 216,272 (Standing count of people holding the credential, as at 31 December 2025) · ASHA, 2025 Member and Affiliate Profile, Tables 1 and 3 · maoni
This is one of the tighter pairings on the site, and the reason is that almost everyone who practises holds the ASHA certificate — it is the usual basis for a state licence rather than a parallel credential. The remainder is mostly people certified and not currently working, plus a smaller number practising under a state licence without maintaining ASHA certification, who push the true figure the other way.
Kilichowapata watu waliomaliza mazoezi hayo
Miaka minne baada ya kukamilisha programu ya kompyuta ya ▶, si kwa ajili ya kazi hii pekee
ya 11,235 Ambao walifanya kazi kwa bidii. Communication disorders (speech and hearing), master's degree Wala hawakuwa wenye kughafilika na yale ya baadaye. 249 Na lau kuwa si fadhila juu yake mngeli kusanya watu, 2.2%. Wale waliokuwa wakifanya kazi walipata umaarufu $67,030, Na baina ya makundi mawili hayo patakuwa pa katikati. $53,057 na $82,358.
faida za kupata kazi zote, Bradton, si kazi ya kuajiriwa ya 1725. Hatua ni kukosekana kwa rekodi yoyote ya mshahara na mapato yoyote chanya ya kazi ya mwaka mzima. Hakuna aliyeulizwa kama wanataka kazi, kwa hiyo idadi inashikilia watu walioacha kazi kwa kuchagua kulea watoto, kutunza, kusafiri, kuishi kwa mapato ya mtu mwingine, kuhamia nchi nyingine pamoja na kila mtu aliyetaka kazi na ambao hawana. Hakuna mtu anayetangaza kujigawanya na hatutakisia. Ni kwa namna gani watu wengi walikuwa wamemaliza mazoezi haya na hawakuchuma chochote kutoka kwa miaka minne au kitu chochote kile chochote, ambacho huwezi kusema juu ya kiasi kilicho juu ya juu.
Na tarakimu hiyo haihusu kazi hii moja kwa moja. Serikali ya serikali huchapisha matokeo ya programu hiyo kwa kiwango cha nne cha uungwaji mkono na siyo kwa ubora, na programu hizo za msingi zinaweka sheria zake pamoja na wengine.
Kile ambacho mfumo huo wa programu hufunika: CIP 51.02 covers speech-language pathology and audiology together. At master's level it is overwhelmingly speech-language pathology, because audiology moved to a clinical doctorate; at bachelor's level it is a pre-professional degree that qualifies you for neither on its own, which is worth knowing before enrolling.
Ambao wanapanda nyoyoni. Wauzaji wa vitabu waliopokea misaada ya wanafunzi wa serikali sio safu. Idara inadhibiti taasisi zenye ni ndogo sana kuweza kuchapisha na kuongeza kelele za takwimu kwa wale wengine, kwa hiyo hii ni kiasi cha fedha juu ya taasisi kubwa kiasi cha kutaarifu: 223 Katika hao, wanazidisha idadi. 93.2% ya Idara hiyo yenyewe. Kupunguza programu ndogo zaidi za kuripoti hufanya kiwango hicho kiongezeke kwa 0.0 Asilimia yataja.

Unachohitaji kabla ya kuanza
- A bachelor's degree, with prerequisite coursework if it was in another field
- A place on an accredited master's programme
- A supervised clinical fellowship
- A pass in the Praxis examination in speech-language pathology
Msipo fanya hivi itakuwako fitna katika nchi,
- you need to start earning immediately — the clinical fellowship year is paid, but at a fraction of the licensed rate
- you are assuming school employment means school holidays on full pay; most school contracts are for the academic year only
