You're not alone. Across the United States, many Speech-Language Pathologists share your frustration, particularly when it comes to low salaries. One major reason for this is that large contract companies often underpay SLPs. These companies secure lucrative contracts with schools but only pass on a fraction of those earnings to the hardworking professionals who fulfill them.
Imagine a different scenario—one where you hold the contract and set the terms. Over the past several years, we have empowered hundreds of SLPs to do just that. Our comprehensive School Contract Training equips you with the essential tools and knowledge to secure your own contracts with schools.
In this half-day program, we will teach you how to obtain your OWN school contracts. You will learn from two seasoned SLPs with experience acquiring, writing and negotiating school contracts.
After you complete the training, you will be invited to join our Private Facebook Group exclusively for our graduates! This allows us to foster an online community to support each other.
If you want more control of your time and income, then this training is for you. We know how freeing it is to be your own boss, and we want to help you experience that freedom.
