To become a licensed speech therapist in Michigan, you must earn a master's degree in speech-language pathology from an accredited program, complete a supervised clinical fellowship, and obtain licensure through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

Which companies hire speech therapists in Michigan?
Employers hiring speech therapists in Michigan right now include Broad River Rehab, Powerback Rehabilitation, and Classic Home Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Michigan's large integrated health systems and its extensive network of public school districts make it one of the more active states for consistent, year-round speech therapist recruitment.
Which Michigan cities have the most speech therapist jobs?
Troy, Marshall, and Flint account for the most speech therapist openings in Michigan. Detroit drives volume through its major hospital systems and urban school districts, Grand Rapids draws demand from Corewell Health and a growing network of outpatient clinics, and Lansing concentrates openings through state government health programs, Michigan State University Health Care, and surrounding school systems.
Are there remote speech therapist jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they are less common than in many other fields because speech therapy typically involves direct, in-person patient assessment and hands-on treatment. About 0% of speech therapist openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The roles most likely to offer remote or teletherapy arrangements are school-based speech services and certain pediatric outpatient positions where telehealth platforms have gained acceptance.
How can I get hired as a speech therapist in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a clinical fellowship position immediately after completing your master's degree, as Michigan's large health systems regularly onboard new graduates for structured fellowship roles. Henry Ford Health, Corewell Health, and Michigan Medicine all hire clinical fellows and new-graduate speech-language pathologists into supervised positions. Candidates who hold their Michigan LARA license and have completed a graduate externship in a Michigan facility carry a clear advantage, and school-based substitute or support roles through Michigan public school districts are a practical lateral entry point.
