Speech Language Pathology Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech language pathology in Florida?
To work as a speech language pathologist in Florida, you must obtain a license from the Florida Department of Health through the Board of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. This requires completing a master's degree from an ASHA-accredited program, finishing a supervised clinical fellowship, passing the Praxis exam in speech-language pathology, and submitting a licensure application. Florida does not participate in the Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, so out-of-state candidates must apply for full Florida licensure directly.
How much do speech language pathologies make in Florida?
Speech language pathologies 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 pathologys in Florida?
Employers hiring speech language pathologys in Florida right now include HealthTrust Workforce Solutions, Gannon University, and UCP of Central Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's mix of large hospital systems, public school districts, and outpatient rehabilitation networks means openings are distributed across both healthcare and education settings throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most speech language pathology jobs?
The Florida cities with the most speech language pathology openings are Naples, Ruskin, and Hialeah. This distribution reflects where Florida's largest hospital systems, school districts, and senior care networks are concentrated, with the Miami metro anchoring demand in South Florida and Tampa and Orlando driving volume through their dense clusters of health systems and pediatric specialty practices.
Are there remote speech language pathology jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they are limited. Speech language pathology is primarily a hands-on clinical role requiring in-person assessment and direct patient or student contact, which restricts remote work to a narrow subset of positions. About 0% of speech language pathology openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. The roles most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are teletherapy positions serving school-age children and certain adult outpatient caseloads.
How can I get hired as a speech language pathology in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying as a clinical fellow, which is a structured post-graduate supervised experience that counts toward full licensure in Florida. Large Florida school districts such as Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Broward County Public Schools routinely hire clinical fellows and new graduates for school-based positions. Hospital systems like AdventHealth and HCA Florida also post clinical fellow roles in acute care and rehabilitation. Having your Praxis exam passed and your Florida licensure application in progress significantly strengthens an entry-level application.
