What is an independent contractor SLP?

Independent contractor SLPs are speech-language pathologists who work on a contract basis rather than as traditional employees. They provide speech therapy services to clients, schools, or healthcare facilities under a contractual agreement, often setting their own schedules and managing their own caseloads. This arrangement offers flexibility and autonomy but also requires independent contractors to handle their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an independent contractor SLP?

To thrive as an Independent Contractor SLP, you need a master's degree in speech-language pathology, state licensure, ASHA certification (CCC-SLP), and strong clinical skills in assessment and intervention. Familiarity with telepractice platforms, electronic documentation systems, and billing software is often required. Outstanding communication, self-motivation, and organizational skills set you apart in managing caseloads and client relationships independently. These competencies ensure you deliver effective therapy, maintain compliance, and succeed in a flexible, self-managed work environment.

How do independent contractor SLPs typically manage their caseloads and schedules?

Independent Contractor Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) often have the flexibility to set their own schedules and select the clients or facilities they work with. This autonomy allows them to balance multiple contracts, but it also requires strong organizational skills to manage documentation, session planning, and communication across different settings. Contractors should be prepared to coordinate with school staff, healthcare teams, or families, depending on the work environment. Staying proactive with scheduling and clear communication is essential to maintaining a sustainable caseload and meeting client goals.

Job description

Springfield, VA | Pediatric & Developmental Services | Flexible Schedule

Compassionate ABA & Therapeutic Services (CABATS) is seeking an experienced, compassionate, and highly motivated Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) Independent Contractor to join our growing multidisciplinary team at our Springfield, Virginia clinic.

This is an excellent opportunity for an SLP who values clinical independence, schedule flexibility, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful work with children and individuals with developmental needs. As our Springfield location continues to grow, you will have the opportunity to help shape our Speech Therapy program while working alongside ABA, Occupational Therapy, and other developmental services.

Why Join CABATS?

At CABATS, we believe therapy works best when providers collaborate rather than operate in silos. Our Springfield clinic provides a supportive environment where Speech, ABA, OT, and developmental services can work together to address the whole client.

What makes this opportunity different:
  • Flexible contractor schedule
  • Opportunity to build a caseload that fits your availability
  • Growing Springfield clinic with room for professional growth
  • Administrative support with scheduling and client coordination
  • Collaborative ABA, OT, and Speech environment
  • Opportunity to supervise and mentor SLPAs as appropriate
  • Established clinical and operational leadership
  • Diverse pediatric and developmental caseload
  • Modern clinic environment with therapy and movement spaces
  • Opportunity to contribute to the continued development of our Speech program
Responsibilities

The SLP Contractor will:

  • Conduct comprehensive speech and language evaluations.
  • Develop individualized, functional treatment plans.
  • Provide evidence-based speech-language therapy.
  • Address receptive/expressive language, functional communication, articulation, social/pragmatic communication, AAC, and other clinically appropriate areas.
  • Complete progress reports, reassessments, and required clinical documentation.
  • Collaborate with caregivers to support skill generalization.
  • Coordinate care with BCBAs, OTs, physicians, schools, and other providers when appropriate.
  • Provide clinical guidance and supervision to assigned SLPAs when applicable.
  • Maintain documentation in accordance with professional, payer, and company requirements.
  • Participate in interdisciplinary collaboration while maintaining appropriate SLP scope of practice.
  • Maintain professional and ethical standards consistent with ASHA and applicable Virginia requirements.
Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology or Communication Sciences and Disorders.
  • Current Virginia SLP license or eligibility to obtain one.
  • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred/required as applicable to assigned responsibilities.
  • Pediatric or developmental-disability experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with autism, AAC, language disorders, and social communication is highly valued.
  • Strong documentation, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively while maintaining independent clinical judgment.
  • Experience supervising SLPAs is a plus.
Ideal Candidate

We are especially interested in an SLP who is proactive, dependable, warm with families, clinically confident, and excited about helping grow a program. This is a great fit for someone who wants more autonomy than a traditional full-time position while still having the support and collaboration of an established multidisciplinary organization.
