Speech Language Pathologist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech language pathologist in Florida?
You become a licensed speech language pathologist in Florida by earning a master's degree in speech-language pathology from an accredited program, completing a supervised clinical fellowship, and passing the Praxis examination in Speech-Language Pathology. Licensure is issued by the Florida Department of Health's Board of Speech-Language Pathology. Most Florida employers also expect or require the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association before or shortly after hiring.
How much do speech language pathologists make in Florida?
Speech language pathologists in Florida earn a median of about $99,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,970 for the lowest 10% to over $122,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech language pathologists in Florida?
Employers hiring speech language pathologists in Florida right now include Evolve Therapy Services, Continuum Therapy Partners, and The Lakes Home Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large public school districts, including Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Orange County Public Schools, are among the most consistent year-round hirers across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most speech language pathologist jobs?
Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando lead Florida for speech language pathologist openings. Miami's concentration of pediatric hospitals, bilingual school districts, and outpatient clinics drives the highest volume, while Tampa and Orlando generate strong demand through their large hospital networks, university medical centers, and rapidly growing suburban school populations.
Are there remote speech language pathologist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're a small share of the overall market, since most speech language pathology work requires hands-on patient or student contact. About 8% of speech language pathologist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with most remote roles concentrated in telepractice for school-based services and early intervention screenings rather than acute clinical work.
How can I get hired as a speech language pathologist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most direct entry path is securing a clinical fellowship year position, which large Florida hospital systems like AdventHealth and Nicklaus Children's Hospital and many school districts post specifically for new graduates awaiting CCC-SLP. Florida's public school districts are particularly accessible for early-career candidates, as they fund paid SLP assistant and paraprofessional roles that build toward full licensure. Completing your Florida Department of Health licensure application early and highlighting ASHA-accredited externship placements in Florida settings gives your application a concrete edge.
Where can I find and apply to speech language pathologist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to speech language pathologist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across school districts, hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and skilled nursing facilities. Find the roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly.
