Independent Speech and Language Therapist

You trained to do speech therapy. So why is so little of your week made up of actual therapy?

The reports. The admin. The everything else that needs done.

The waitlists you can't shrink and the families just outside your area. Whatever's between you and the therapy, you didn't get into this job for any of it.

Saltroad is a different way of working.
