ASHA SLP Health Care Survey 2015: Caseload Characteristics Report
Executive
Summary
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) conducted a survey
of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the spring of 2015. The survey was
designed to provide information about health care based service delivery and to
update and expand information gathered during previous SLP Health Care Surveys.
The results are presented in a series of reports.
This report addresses only questions on the survey pertaining to caseload. Data are
drawn from all six types of health care facilities: general medical, Veterans Affairs
(VA), and long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals; rehabilitation (rehab) hospitals;
pediatric hospitals; skilled nursing facilities (SNFs); home health agencies and
clients’ homes; and outpatient clinics and offices.
Highlights:
w
54% of SLPs’ clinical time was spent providing services
to adults.
w
In adult settings, 41% of time spent delivering services
was in the area of swallowing.
w
Time spent on swallowing was highest in general
medical, VA, and LTAC hospitals (55%).
w
Times spent on aphasia (22%) and traumatic brain injury
(TBI; 17%) in adults were highest in rehabilitation
hospitals.
w
In pediatric settings, 29% of time spent delivering
services was in the area of language.
w
SLPs who provided pediatric services in home health
agencies and clients’ homes spent more time on language
(35%) than did SLPs in other types of facilities.
w
SLPs in pediatric hospitals spent more time on
swallowing and feeding (31%) than did SLPs who
worked with pediatric patients in other facility types.
w
29 (2%) of the survey participants delivered clinical
services remotely (i.e., via telepractice).

ASHA SLP Health Care Survey 2015: Caseload Characteristics Report
Populations
Served
On average (mean), 54% of time spent on service delivery was with adult clients
(see Figure 1). Remaining times were fairly evenly distributed among infants and
toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children.

Population
Density
The range of clients’ ages varied widely by type of facility (p = .000; see
Appendix, Table 1):
• Not surprisingly, a large majority of service delivery time spent in SNFs
(95%), general medical, VA, and LTAC hospitals (85%) and rehab
hospitals (81%) was with adult clients.
• In pediatric hospitals, service delivery time was distributed among infants
and toddlers (40%), preschoolers (33%), and school-age children (26%).
• In home health agencies and clients’ homes, most time was spent
delivering services to infants and toddlers (39%) and adults (32%), with the
remainder going to preschoolers (17%) and school-age children (12%).
• Outpatient clinics and offices showed the most even distribution of time
spent delivering services across age groups: 30% to preschoolers and
school-age children, 22% to adults, and 18% to infants and toddlers.
Clinical service providers identified the type of area where they worked (rural,
suburban, city/urban) and the time spent serving each age group. Only services to
school-age children varied significantly by population density. Those in rural areas
spent 11% of their time with school-age children; those in city/urban areas, 15%;
and those in suburban areas, 16% (p = .005).

More adult service delivery time was spent in the area of swallowing (41%) than in
any other area of intervention (see Figure 2 and Appendix, Table 2).

Facility
Population
Density
All 10 areas of intervention were affected by the type of facility where the SLPs
worked (see Appendix, Table 2):
• SLPs in outpatient clinics and offices spent more time on AAC
(8%; p = .000), accent modification (2%; p = .026), voice/resonance
(12%; p = .000), and other treatment areas (4%; p = .000) than did SLPs in
other types of facilities.
• Times spent on aphasia (22%; p = .000), TBI (17%; p = .000), and other
cognitive communication disorders (5%; p = .000) were highest in
rehabilitation hospitals.
• Time spent on motor speech disorders was highest in rehab hospitals and
home health agencies and clients’ homes (10%; p = .000).
• Time spent on dementia services was highest in SNFs (23%; p = .000).
• Time spent on swallowing was highest in general medical, VA, and LTAC
hospitals (55%; p = .000).
Only two adult services varied by population density (not shown in any table).
Approximately 5% of SLPs’ time in rural areas was spent on TBI compared with
8% of SLPs’ time in suburban areas and 9% of SLPs’ time in city/urban areas
(p = .006). Time spent on swallowing depended on locale and accounted for 40%
of SLPs’ time in city/urban and suburban areas and 45% of SLPs’ time in rural
areas (p = .044).

ASHA SLP Health Care Survey 2015: Caseload Characteristics Report
Pediatric
Services
SLPs who worked with pediatric patients spent a greater percentage of their time
on language (29%) than on any other area of intervention. Additionally, nearly one
quarter of their time was spent on articulation and phonology (see Figure 3).

Facility
The type of facility in which SLPs worked had an effect on six of the nine areas of
intervention included in the survey (see Appendix Table 3):
• SLPs in outpatient clinics and offices spent more time on autism spectrum
disorder (20%) than did SLPs in other types of facilities (p = .000).
• SLPs in rehab hospitals spent more time on cognitive communication
(13%) than did SLPs in other types of facilities (p = .041).
• SLPs in SNFs spent more time on fluency (11%) than did SLPs in other
types of facilities (p = .000).
• SLPs in home health agencies and clients’ homes spent more time on
language (35%) than did SLPs in other types of facilities (p = .000).
• SLPs in pediatric hospitals spent more time on swallowing and feeding
(31%) than did SLPs in other facility types (p = .000). They also spent
more time on voice and resonance (4%) than did other SLPs (p = .008).
Population
Density
Three of the areas of intervention differed by population density.
• The amount of time spent on articulation and phonology increased as
population density decreased. SLPs in city/urban areas spent 20% of their
time in this area; those in suburban areas spent 22%; and SLPs in rural
areas spent 24% of their time (p = .025).
• The amount of time spent on swallowing and feeding increased as
population density increased. SLPs in rural areas spent 9% of their time in
this area compared 12% for those in the suburbs and 16% for those in
city/urban areas (p = .002).
• SLPs in city/urban areas (3%) spent more time on voice and resonance than
did SLPs in either suburban or rural areas (1%; p = .019).

ASHA SLP Health Care Survey 2015: Caseload Characteristics Report
Telepractice
Only 29 (2%) of the survey participants indicated that they deliver clinical services
remotely (i.e., via telepractice). Because this group is so small, no further analyses
were run.
Survey
Notes and
The SLP Health Care Survey has been fielded in odd-numbered years since 2005 to
gather information of interest to the profession. Members, volunteer leaders, and
staff rely on data from the survey to better understand the priorities and needs of
SLPs.
Methodology
The survey was mailed in February 2015 to a random sample of 4,000
ASHA-certified SLPs who were employed in health care settings in the
United States. An email reminder was sent a week later. Second (March)
and third (April) mailings followed, at approximately 3- or 4-week
intervals, to individuals who had not responded to earlier mailings.
The sample was a random sample, stratified by type of facility and by
private practice. Small groups, such as pediatric hospitals, were
oversampled. Therefore, weighting was used when presenting data to
reflect the actual distribution of SLPs in each type of facility within
ASHA.
Response Rate
Survey
Reports
Suggested
Citation
Of the original 4,000 SLPs in the sample, 1 was deceased, 5 were retired,
14 had bad addresses, 42 were employed in other types of facilities, 6
were not employed in the field, and 5 were ineligible for other reasons,
leaving 3,927 possible respondents. The actual number of respondents was
1,842, resulting in a 46.9% response rate. The results presented in this
report are based on responses from those 1,842 individuals.
Results from the 2015 SLP Health Care Survey are presented in a series of reports:
