California Speech and Language Therapy License

The California Speech-Language Pathology Board takes six to eight weeks to review completed applications. SLPs in the state earn one of the highest annual mean salaries in the country. California is also one of the most expensive regions to live in, with the cost of living driven primarily by housing expenses. If you're concerned about affordability, consider a travel SLP position that provides you with a housing stipend.

 

There's a reason California is expensive: it's one of the country's top destinations. You can live and work in a beautifully mild climate and enjoy a rich array of landscapes including sandy beaches, mountain trails, sun-drenched coastlines and iconic cities.
