About This Role
This is a 13-week contract position for a School Speech Language Pathologist working full-time in the Dearborn Heights school district. You'll work standard school hours—40 hours per week across eight-hour shifts—allowing you to align your schedule with the academic calendar. The role pays $58-65 per hour depending on experience. EdTheory is actively filling immediate openings through the end of this school year and is also interviewing now for next school year, so this could lead to ongoing work. You should be a licensed SLP or Clinical Fellow ready to provide direct therapy services to students in a school setting. This role suits clinicians seeking contract work with predictable hours and a defined timeframe, without the year-round commitment of a permanent position.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
