Services in the public sector have similar costs, but families are not billed for these.
SLPs in the private sector need to charge to cover their business costs and to make a competitive salary. Private practitioners have to buy their own assessments, materials, and clinic space and have no paid sick leave, educational leave, vacation pay, or employer-paid pension and have no income when clients cancel or no-show.
We are determined to recruit and provide competitive wages and benefits for excellent therapists so we can provide exceptional service to our clients!
