yes, but only in certain states - MO, CA, TX for sure... I don't know about other states. but yes, you can - you may just want to get a job as an OT or PT assistant if necessary. LA- requires you have 100 direct clinical hours from an accredited university prior to becoming a Provisional SLP-A...then you need to acquire 125 hours on the job to drop the Provisonal part.

Typically, it is a masters of science (MS) degree.
You can be a speech pathology assistant! they make around $15.00 per hour (starting), with benefits. http://faculty.evc.edu/oran.cox/Career_Bridges/speech_path/Speech_Pathology_Assistance.htm I am not sure if audiologists have assistants, but research it! Good Luck! :)
A Speech Pathologist assistant is a person who has a Bachelors degree in Speech Pathology. They are required to have an assistant license and a supervisor who is a licensed Speech Pathologist. National laws require that the assistant have direct supervision at least 1 hour a week and indirect supervision at least 1 hour a week. This is the minimum, not the recommended. The supervisor is also responsible for the patients treatment plan and diagnosis. Basically, the Speech Pathology assistant carries out the treatment plan (by giving therapy) they are given by the Speech Pathologist.
It will provide a B.S but in this field it is better to get your masters to do anything really good.
Many universities offer degree programs in speech therapy, including Northeastern University, University of Florida, and University of Washington. These programs typically lead to a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
Most speech-language pathologist jobs require a master's degree. More than 230 colleges and universities offered graduate programs in speech-language pathology accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. While graduation from an accredited program is not always required to become a speech-language pathologist, it may be helpful in obtaining a license or may be required to obtain a license in some States.
Speech language pathologists require a Master's Degree in speech language pathology. The classes needed to acquire this degree focus on the English language, science, and communication. Math and history courses are also general requirements to earn a degree.
International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology was created in 1999.
Someone who wishes to earn their masters in Speech Pathology would get an undergraduate degree in Communicative Disorders and Sciences. You would then get your M.A.
Yes, "Speech-Language Pathology" should be capitalized as it is a specific field of study and practice.
It can vary from state to state. Many states allow a bachelor degreed individual who is currently earning a Masters degree to work supervised in the school system. For the most part, one must earn their Masters degree in Speech Pathology and complete his/her Clinical Fellowship under the direction of a certified and licensed Speech Language Pathologist.
