The problem is that your current employer treats it as a side interest instead of a caseload assignment.
About this role
You've found your focus area. The problem is that your current employer treats it as a side interest instead of a caseload assignment. This specialty role flips that: your specialty IS the caseload, and the pay reflects it.
Sacramento is our biggest placement region by volume — multiple districts (Sac City Unified, Natomas, Twin Rivers, Elk Grove edge) plus the expanding private pediatric clinic network on the south side.
Clinic-based specialty SLPs in Sacramento carry a 30-40 case pediatric caseload with 60%+ in the focus area. You'll run assessment evaluations at a premium rate across STC's clinic network when your specialty's in demand, own protocol documentation for your area, and consult on complex cases the generalist team flags.
Specialty focus: evidence-based stuttering intervention (Lidcombe, Camperdown, RESTART-DCM), cluttering assessment, and family/teacher support coaching — +$7,500 specialty bonus.
What this role looks like
- Cross-site consultation — you're the go-to for other SLPs' complex cases in your area
- Conference support — we send specialists to ASHA Convention and at least one specialty-specific conference annually
- Mentorship slot — you can supervise CFs or guide junior SLPs in your specialty (compensated separately)
- Material + resource budget specifically for your specialty (AAC apps, feeding supplies, voice tools)
Who thrives here
The specialist roles work for SLPs who've found their focus — CAS, feeding, AAC, fluency, bilingual, voice, autism — and want intake and caseload structure built around it. Instead of being the "generalist who sometimes takes the hard cases," you're the dedicated specialist with protocol ownership.
Highlights & benefits
- Cert stipend — course + exam fees paid upfront, not reimbursed
- Protocol ownership in your specialty area
- Cross-site consultation at a premium rate
- Protected specialty caseload (60%+ focus-area cases)
- Sacramento metro — broadest placement variety across STC network
