More Child Speech Therapy Jobs and Careers Available
Pediatric speech therapy jobs can be fun. Kids love to talk and people love to hear them speak. What better place to start a career than in the field of speech therapy? Each child's speech therapist is unique, however most will have the same goal in mind - to help children with speech problems. The process of bringing up a child with speech problems can be very challenging. The length of time that a child must learn to speak, how long it takes for the child to be able to speak and where to focus their treatment can all be very stressful. The amount of money that parents pay for child care can also be a major factor. As a result, many families choose not to hire a speech therapist because they are too expensive or they just do not have the time. Most speech therapists make around $20 an hour. Some states require speech therapists to hold a license and some states do not. Professionals can also charge on a per-hour basis or just a percentage of the amount of time that the child is in professional sessions. In general, it is best to take the percentage option because there is no set maximum number of hours for which a speech therapist can be paid.
