Speech Pathologist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech pathologist in Pennsylvania?
To work as a speech pathologist in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. Licensure requires a master's degree from an ASHA-accredited program, completion of a supervised clinical fellowship, and passing the Praxis examination in speech-language pathology. Many Pennsylvania employers also expect or require the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) at or shortly after hire.
How much do speech pathologists make in Pennsylvania?
Speech pathologists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $92,960 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,650 for the lowest 10% to over $130,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech pathologists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring speech pathologists in Pennsylvania right now include Ivy Health, OneWell Health Care, and Evolve Therapy Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, public school districts, and long-term care networks drive the bulk of consistent year-round openings across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Lancaster have the most speech pathologist openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense concentration of hospital systems, children's hospitals, and large urban school districts, while Pittsburgh's strength comes from UPMC and Allegheny Health Network anchoring both inpatient and outpatient demand, and Allentown reflects growing suburban healthcare and school district growth in the Lehigh Valley region.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they are less common than in desk-based fields because most speech pathology involves hands-on patient contact. About 8% of speech pathologist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and the positions that do go remote are most often in teletherapy for school-age children or adults receiving outpatient cognitive-linguistic services.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for clinical fellowship year positions, which Pennsylvania health systems and school districts post specifically for new graduates completing their supervised hours toward full licensure. UPMC, Jefferson Health, and large Pennsylvania intermediate units regularly onboard fellows and offer structured supervision. Candidates who hold a current Pennsylvania speech-language pathology license, even in fellowship status, and who have completed ASHA-accredited externships in the relevant setting, whether pediatric, medical, or educational, move fastest through the screening process.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Pennsylvania?
