Pay and outlook
Wage and job-outlook figures on these pages come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. They are national estimates, not a guarantee of what any job pays.
Quoted from official pages checked November 10, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.
BLS publishes separate handbook pages for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Assistants share a handbook page with aides; those combined pages are quoted carefully so assistant figures are not mixed up with aide figures.
