Start Here


You landed somewhere that actually gets it. Here's what this place is, who it's built for, and where to go first.

Your questions finally have a home.


The SLPA Playbook is a peer-to-peer resource platform built by a working SLPA. It exists because a lot of the information SLPAs need — about pay, about job settings, about navigating supervision, about documentation — either doesn't exist online or is buried in SLP-focused spaces that aren't really talking to us.

Everything here is written from lived experience, not a textbook. The information is always free. The tools and templates are paid, but never more than $25 — because this field doesn't pay enough for expensive resources.

This site is for SLPAs who are building a real career in this field — not using it as a stepping stone to something else. If that's you, you're in the right place.

This is for you if...


01

You're new to the field

Just finished your program, about to start your first job, or currently in your first year. The Survival Guide was written for you.

02

You're job searching

Trying to figure out what setting is right for you, how to evaluate an offer, or whether you're being underpaid. Start with the Career Info posts.

03

You want better systems

Your documentation takes forever, your caseload feels disorganized, or you need faster session notes. The shop has what you need.

04

You're building a career here

SLPA is your destination, not a detour. You want to understand your rights, your scope, and how to advocate for yourself at work.
