Speech Therapist Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech therapist in Arizona?
To work as a speech therapist in Arizona, you must hold a license issued by the Arizona Department of Health Services, which requires a master's degree in speech-language pathology from an accredited program, completion of a supervised clinical fellowship, and passing the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology. Once licensed, most Arizona employers also expect an ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence, and school-based positions may require an additional Arizona Department of Education endorsement.
How much do speech therapists make in Arizona?
Speech therapists in Arizona earn a median of about $97,800 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,990 for the lowest 10% to over $130,550 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech therapists in Arizona?
Employers hiring speech therapists in Arizona right now include Optum, RISE Pediatric Therapies, and Voyage Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and expansive public school districts consistently post the highest volume of speech therapist openings across the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most speech therapist jobs?
Tucson, Mesa, and Peoria have the most speech therapist openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates volume due to its concentration of major hospital systems, pediatric specialty clinics, and one of the largest unified school districts in the country, while Tucson's strong university medical center and regional school network sustain consistent demand in the southern part of the state.
Are there remote speech therapist jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're less common than in many other fields because most speech therapy involves direct, in-person assessment and hands-on treatment. About 17% of speech therapist openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. Teletherapy roles do exist, and they are most prevalent in school-based contracts serving rural Arizona districts where in-person coverage is difficult to staff.
How can I get hired as a speech therapist in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your clinical fellowship year with an Arizona employer, which many large health systems and school districts treat as a direct pipeline to permanent hiring. Banner Health and Dignity Health both take clinical fellows through structured onboarding programs, and the Arizona Department of Education lists school sites actively seeking fellowship placements. Candidates who hold an Arizona license-in-progress and ASHA student membership, and who have supervised hours in pediatric or medical settings, have the strongest footing for landing that first role.
Where can I find and apply to speech therapist jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to speech therapist jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across health systems, school districts, outpatient clinics, and home health agencies. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
