A Growing Demand for Speech-Language Pathologists

The demand for speech-language pathologists is on the rise, driven by several key factors:

• Aging Population: As the baby boomer generation ages, there is an increased need for services related to speech and language impairments, such as those caused by strokes or dementia.
• Early Intervention: Greater awareness of the importance of early identification and diagnosis of speech, language, and swallowing disorders in young children is increasing employment opportunities for SLPs.
• Educational Settings: With 38% of SLPs working in educational services, the demand for professionals in schools is expected to grow as school enrollments rise and awareness of speech impairments increases.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of speech-language pathologists is projected to grow 18% from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations. Approximately 13,700 openings for SLPs are projected each year, on average, due to growth and the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force.
