Management roles for speech-language pathologis...

Put a group of health care-based speech-language pathologists in a room, and you’ll have a hard time finding one who serves solely in an administrative role (supervisor, manager, or director). According to ASHA’s year-end membership counts, in 2007 only 10.7% of ASHA-certified SLPs reported an administrative role as their primary employment function. When you subtract the 0.4% who chair an educational or research program, we’re left with 10.3% who work in an administrative role—and we don’t know how many of those are in health care.
