The Clinical Staffing Gap

Every Clinical Role Is Getting Harder to Fill

School districts face staffing shortages across multiple clinical and special education disciplines. In the 2024–25 school year, the national average was approximately one school psychologist for every 1,127 students, more than twice the National Association of School Psychologists’ recommended ratio of one per 500 students.* Nearly 80% of school-based respondents reported that speech-language pathologist openings outnumbered job seekers in their area in 2024.**

Managing these gaps role by role, vendor by vendor, adds cost and administrative strain that most districts don’t have room for.
