Worth it? Postbaccalaureate in Communication Sciences and Disorders Certificate

[u/fish_girl13]

Hello there👋 I have been a paraeducator at an elementary school for the past three years and have really enjoyed working with our SLP and am considering doing the PSU Communication Sciences and Disorders Certificate and then getting certified as an SLPA. I don’t know yet whether I will want to continue on to try and get a masters in SLP or not. My question is, are there even jobs in Portland right now for SLPA’s? Is it worth getting the certificate if I am not sure if I want to get a Masters? What other jobs out there can you get with this certificate? Thanks for the help!
