3 Introduction The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) conducted the 2014 Schools Survey to gather information about professional issues related to school-based services. Results from this survey are presented in a series of reports, including this report on trends in educational audiology. Findings from the 2010 and 2012 ASHA Schools Surveys are also included in this report for comparative purposes. Questions differ among surveys, so data on all topics are not available for all survey years. Survey Report Highlights Workforce and Work Conditions From 2010 to 2014, more than half (55% 69%) of audiologists reported that job openings for clinical service providers were fewer than job seekers in their types of school and geographic area. In 2014, more than half (59%) of audiologists reported that budget was their greatest professional challenge. From 2010 to 2014, other top challenges were high amount of paperwork, high caseload or workload size, lack of others understanding of my role, and lack of parental involvement and support. Employment, Earnings, and Student Debt From 2010 to 2014, most (80%) survey respondents worked full-time; 14% 18% worked part-time. The remainder were on leave of absence, not employed, or retired. From 2010 to 2014, most (89% 95%) audiologists were salaried employees; 3% 11% were contract employees. From 2010 to 2014, most (89% 93%) audiologists were paid an annual salary in their primary jobs. The remainder were paid at an hourly rate. From 2010 to 2014, most (71% 80%) audiologists who were paid an annual salary in their primary jobs worked 9 or 10 months per year. In 2014, the median academic year salary of audiologists was $67,000, up from $63,000 in 2012 (a 6% increase). The median calendar year salary of audiologists was $77,157, up from $69,836 in 2012 (a 10% increase). In 2014, 26% of audiologists received a salary supplement for having the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC), up from 22% in 2010 and 20% in In 2014, 13% of audiologists had unpaid student debt, compared with 15% in ASHA Schools Survey Report: Trends in Educational Audiology, Page 2 of 13
4 Caseload Characteristics From 2010 to 2014, 50% 57% of audiologists indicated that a workload approach, as opposed to a caseload approach, was used to determine the number of students they served. In 2014, audiologists had a median monthly caseload size of 55, up from 50 in 2010 and From 2010 to 2014, most (63% 84%) audiologists treated students with hearing loss, and 31% 44% treated students with auditory processing disorders. From 2010 to 2014, audiologists caseloads included a higher average number of students with hearing loss than students with other disorders. (Numbers ranged from 50 to 80 students.) From 2010 to 2014, audiologists had a somewhat higher percentage (31% 39%) of students in their caseloads with moderate impairments than with mild or severe/profound impairments. In 2014, audiologists reported that the median number of English Language Learner (ELL) students in their caseloads was five, compared with five in 2010 and eight in From 2010 to 2014, overall, audiologists increasingly participated in Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)/Response to Intervention (RTI) or pre-referral. More than half currently provide consultative services (52%) and strategies to classroom teachers (51%). Nearly half (45%) conduct screenings. In 2014, 36% of audiologists reported involvement with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), up substantially from 13% in Member Satisfaction Ratings In 2014, most (62%) audiologists indicated that, overall, ASHA was doing a good or excellent job in serving its school-based members, up steadily from 41% in 2010 and 49% in From 2012 to 2014, most audiologists indicated that ASHA was doing a good or excellent job in serving school-based members with continuing education (51% 62%) and online resources (61% 75%).

5 Workforce and Work Conditions Job Market In recent years, a survey item has been included on major ASHA data collection initiatives to assess the job market for audiologists. The question-and-response categories were patterned after definitions used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. From 2010 to 2014, more than half (55% 69%) of survey respondents reported that job openings for clinical service providers were fewer than job seekers in their types of school and geographic area (see Table 1). Table 1. Assessment of current job market for audiologist clinical service providers by year Percentage (%) Assessment 2010 a 2012 b 2014 c Job openings more numerous than job seekers Job openings in balance with job seekers Job openings fewer than job seekers Note. From 2010, 2012, and 2014 ASHA Schools Surveys. a n = 275; b n = 260; c n = 167. ASHA Schools Survey Report: Trends in Educational Audiology, Page 4 of 13
6 Greatest Professional Challenges In 2014, more than half (59%) of audiologists reported that budget was their greatest professional challenge (see Table 2). From 2010 to 2014, other top challenges were high amount of paperwork, high caseload or workload size, lack of others understanding of my role, and lack of parental involvement and support. Table 2. Greatest professional challenges of school-based audiologists by year Percentage (%) Professional Challenge 2010 a 2012 b 2014 c Budget 59 High amount of paperwork High caseload or workload size Implementing pre-referral or MTSS, i.e., RTI d Inadequate work space and facilities Incorporating optimal service delivery models 21 Lack of materials, assessment tools, and technology e Lack of others understanding of my role Lack of parental involvement and support Lack of support from the administration Lack of time for collaboration 28 Lack of time for planning 20 Lack of training for ELLs, technology, low-incidence disorders, or curriculum-based instruction f Low salary Out-of-pocket professional expenses Travel/distance between schools 29 Value-added assessments (VAA) 3 6 Working with CCSS (e.g., integrating goals) 10 Note.

9 Caseload Characteristics Caseload vs. Workload Approach As defined in the survey, a caseload approach is based on the number of students served; a workload approach is based on the number of students served plus additional responsibilities. From 2010 to 2014, about half (50% 57%) of audiologists indicated that a workload approach was used to determine the number of students they served (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Percentage of school-based audiologists using the caseload and workload approaches by year % 41% 56% % 10% 39% 57% 39% 50% Caseload approach Workload approach Not applicable; I do not serve students. 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Note. From 2010, 2012, and 2014 ASHA Schools Surveys. In 2014, 5 respondents indicated that both approaches were used to determine the number of students they served. Percentages have been rounded. n = 229 (2010); n = 209 (2012); n = 147 (2014). Caseload Size In 2014, audiologists had a median monthly caseload size of 55, up from 50 in 2010 and In other words, in 2014, each audiologist treated about 55 different students in a typical month. (These data are not presented in any table). ASHA Schools Survey Report: Trends in Educational Audiology, Page 8 of 13
10 Areas of Intervention From 2010 to 2014, most (63% 84%) audiologists treated students with hearing loss, and 31% 44% treated students with auditory processing disorders (see Table 5). Audiologists caseloads included a higher average number of students with hearing loss than students with other disorders. (Numbers ranged from 50 to 80 students.) Table 5.

14 Survey Methodology and Response Rates The survey was mailed in February 2014 to a random sample of 4,000 ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists and 500 ASHA-certified audiologists employed in school settings in the United States. Second and third mailings followed, at approximately 3- or 4-week intervals, to individuals who had not responded to earlier mailings. Of the total sample, 14 had bad mailing addresses, 59 had retired, and 145 were ineligible for other reasons, which left 4,282 possible respondents. The actual number of respondents was 1,969, which represents a 46.0% response rate. Of the original 500 audiologists in the sample, 481 were eligible to complete the survey. The actual number of respondents was 183, which represents a 38.0% response rate. The results presented in this report are based on responses from those 183 individuals. Past ASHA Schools Survey response rates were: 2010: 64.8% (overall); 59.1% (among audiologists) 2012: 63.6% (overall); 54.4.% (among audiologists) Suggested Citation American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
