Speech Pathologist Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech pathologist in Georgia?
You must hold an active license from the Georgia Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to practice in Georgia. Licensure requires a master's degree from an accredited program, completion of a supervised clinical fellowship, and passing the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology. Georgia also recognizes the Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA as meeting the continuing competency standard for license renewal.
How much do speech pathologists make in Georgia?
Speech pathologists in Georgia earn a median of about $96,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,800 for the lowest 10% to over $125,550 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech pathologists in Georgia?
Employers hiring speech pathologists in Georgia right now include CenterWell, Career Links, and Amedisys, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Georgia's large pediatric health networks, integrated hospital systems, and public school districts generate particularly consistent year-round openings across specialties.
Which Georgia cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
Atlanta, Covington, and Canton have the most speech pathologist openings in Georgia. Atlanta anchors the market because of its concentration of major hospital systems, children's hospitals, and large public school districts, while cities like Savannah and Augusta draw volume through their regional medical centers, VA facilities, and growing suburban school populations.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they represent a smaller share of the overall market because most speech pathology work is hands-on and conducted in person with patients or students. About 17% of speech pathologist openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. Teletherapy roles serving rural school districts and outpatient clients make up the largest portion of those remote positions.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most direct entry path is completing your clinical fellowship year at a Georgia employer, which counts as your first year of supervised experience. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Healthcare, and large Georgia public school districts including Atlanta Public Schools regularly bring on clinical fellows and new graduates. Candidates who hold Georgia licensure or ASHA CCC-SLP eligibility, and who have practicum hours in pediatric language or feeding disorders, move to the front of the line for these roles.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Georgia?
