Do SLPA requirements differ by state?

Considerably. Some states license SLPAs, some register them, and supervision ratios differ. Check the state board before you accept a role across state lines.

How much does a SLPA earn in Minnesota?

SLPA roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $25/hr – $40/hr, typically $25/hr entry, $32/hr mid-career and $40/hr at senior or supervisory level. In Minnesota, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. Strong nonprofit and hospital-affiliated behavioral health sector.

What changes a SLPA offer in Minnesota

LPCC, LICSW and LMFT are licensed separately.
Setting: School districts, Pediatric outpatient clinics, Early intervention price differently for the same credential.
Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
Scarcity: Rising sharply as districts and clinics restructure caseloads around a supervising SLP with SLPA delivery.

Why we do not publish a MN average

We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Minnesota average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
