Start With Stability — Then Grow Fast

Most SLPA jobs advertise high per-visit rates, but your pay drops when clients cancel, schedules shift, or caseloads fluctuate.

At Dallas Reading & Language Services, you start with guaranteed, full-time pay and grow quickly as your skills and caseload expand.

From day one:

✅ Guaranteed 40 paid hours per week

✅ Paid while your caseload is being built

✅ No income loss from cancellations

✅ Predictable, consistent paycheck

This role is designed for someone who wants financial security first—and accelerated growth second.

Compensation & Growth Path:

Guaranteed Hourly Pay

$16–$24/hour, based on experience, licensure, and bilingual skills

40 hours/week guaranteed at the start, regardless of caseload size

Raises Come Quickly Raises are tied to clear, observable milestones:

Caseload development

Clinical efficiency and independence

Mastery of clinic workflows and documentation

Reliability, initiative, and teamwork

Strong performers don’t wait years for raises—pay increases happen early as competence increases.

Bonuses (On Top of Hourly Pay)

Once your caseload is established, you can earn:

Per-visit productivity bonuses

Office-task bonuses (supporting operations, efficiency, special projects)

Team-based bonuses tied to overall clinic performance

This structure rewards both individual contribution and team success.

A Role That Builds Real Career Capital

This position is open because two of our current SLPAs were recently accepted into graduate school.

That’s not a coincidence.

We intentionally train SLPAs to:

Think clinically, not mechanically

Work efficiently within real clinic systems

Communicate professionally with supervisors and families

Enter graduate programs with confidence and practical experience

If graduate school is part of your long-term plan, this role functions as a true career accelerator, not just a placeholder job.

Training & Mentorship

You’ll receive:

Structured onboarding

Ongoing mentorship from experienced SLPs

Exposure to evaluations, progress monitoring, and treatment planning

Strong habits around documentation, workflow, and professionalism

Our goal is not just to staff hours—but to develop clinicians who succeed at the next level.

What You’ll Do

Provide pediatric speech, language, and reading therapy under SLP supervision

Implement individualized treatment plans

Assist with evaluations, data collection, and progress monitoring

Collaborate with therapists, administrative staff, and families

Contribute to a respectful, organized, team-based clinic culture
