Know a school that needs an SLP?
You’re Doing the Work, But Not Getting Paid What You Should
If you’ve worked with a contract company or agency, you’ve probably felt it.
You’re billing at one rate… but only taking home a portion of it.
The rest?
It goes to the agency for simply acting as the middleman.
That means less money for you, less flexibility, and often less transparency around the job itself.
I remember wondering… how much am I actually making this company?
After years of school, clinical hours, and real work with students,
why did it feel like I wasn’t being paid what I was worth?
SLP Access was created by an SLP who’s been there and knew there had to be a better way.
Clear, Transparent Opportunities Without the Agency Markup
We believe you should have full visibility before making a decision.
That’s why we share key details upfront whenever possible, including pay rate, schedule, hours, and location.
No guessing. No hidden information.
You set your rate. You keep your pay.
We don’t use large agency markups that take a significant portion behind the scenes.
We charge a small, transparent platform fee, not a hidden percentage of your earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really different from an agency?
Yes, and the difference is in how pay is structured.
Traditional staffing agencies often charge schools $90–$130/hour while paying SLPs $40–$60/hour, keeping a large portion of the rate.
With SLP Access, you set your own hourly rate.
We charge the school a small platform fee (typically $4/hour) on top of your rate instead of taking a percentage of your pay.
For example:
If you set your rate at $85/hour, the school pays $89/hour, and you keep your full $85.
This means:
- You earn what you set
- Schools still save compared to agency rates
- Everything is clear and transparent
How does payment work?
Once you begin working with a school, payments are handled through SLP Access based on approved hours.
What types of positions will you offer?
We will offer any jobs that schools have available:
- Full-time
- Part-time
- Teletherapy
- ESY (Extended School Year)
Will I be locked into a contract?
No, you’re not locked into anything.
You choose which opportunities you’re interested in, and any agreement is directly between you and the school or district. That means you can review the details, ask questions, and decide what works best for you before committing.
Will I have to buy my own materials and testing supplies?
In most cases, no.
Schools typically provide the materials, assessments, and resources you need, just like they would for any other SLP working with their students.
If anything is different, it will always be clearly communicated upfront so there are no surprises.
Do I have to accept jobs?
No. You’re in complete control of which opportunities you pursue.
We send job opportunities directly to your inbox based on your state and licensure, including key details like pay, location, schedule, and start date.
If you’re not interested, simply ignore the email.
If you are interested, you can apply by filling out a quick form. It takes about 1–2 minutes.
Is there any cost to join?
No, joining SLP Access is completely free.
Do I need to create a profile or search for jobs?
No. We’ve simplified the process to make it faster and easier for SLPs.
Instead of building and maintaining a full profile or constantly searching job boards, we send relevant opportunities directly to your inbox.
This means:
- No time spent searching
- No need to keep a profile updated
- No missed opportunities
You simply review the details and decide if you’re interested.
Where does the $4/hour fee go?
We keep this simple and transparent.
The $4/hour fee is paid by the school, not taken from your rate and it allows us to:
- Connect you directly with schools (no middleman taking 30–40%)
- Send you real, vetted job opportunities (no searching or applying endlessly)
- Verify licenses and ensure schools are legitimate
- Handle outreach and marketing to bring in more opportunities for you
- Maintain and improve the platform so everything stays simple and fast
You still set your rate and keep what you earn.
Will I be 1099 or W2?
It depends on the specific opportunity.
Some roles may be 1099 (independent contractor), while others may be W2 positions through the school or district.
You’ll always see the details upfront so you can choose what works best for you.
