Speech therapist

The average salary of a speech therapist in Moscow is 30,000 rubles. (subject to a fixed rate and full time). Despite such modest offers from employers, the ratio of supply and demand in this profession is very impressive - 9.9 resumes per vacancy.

High demands are placed on modern educators: they must have a higher pedagogical education in the specialty “Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology”, strive for self-development and advanced training, and know the Federal State Educational Standard for preschool education. Working with a large number of children is unthinkable without an assistant teacher.

He carries out sanitary and hygienic measures in the group, taking into account the age of the children, organizes work to help them learn self-care skills, and provides all possible assistance to the teacher in carrying out health procedures for children.

The senior educator determines work goals, plans, organizes, and controls the activities of teaching staff.

Average salary of teaching staff in Russia

Although the teaching profession is considered one of the most in demand, sometimes it is not always possible to attract valuable employees to this position due to low salaries.

In general, the average salary of preschool education employees in Russia in recent years varies from 4 thousand to 40 thousand rubles. According to the latest data, the monthly average salary of teachers in 2019 in some large and small localities is (in rubles):

  1. Moscow – 8.000–42.000.
  2. Odintsovo – 23.000.
  3. St. Petersburg – 8,000–40,000.
  4. Tolyatti – 9.000–12.000
  5. Voronezh – 6.150-12.000
  6. Krasnodar – 13.000
  7. Krasnoyarsk – 9.000–23.000
  8. Novosibirsk - 14.800.
  9. Leningrad region - 24,000.
  10. Sverdlovsk region – 21,000.
  11. Magadan region – 26,000.
  12. Kaluga region - 25,000.
  13. Yekaterinburg – 16.000–17.000.
  14. Perm – 11.000–13.000.
  15. Moscow region - 14.000.
  16. Altai Territory – 13,000–15,000.
  17. Altai Republic – 17.000–19.000.
  18. Simferopol – 10.000–12.000.
  19. Sevastopol – 19.000.

In villages, the average salary of a teacher does not exceed 10 thousand rubles.

Teacher assistants are mainly students who work part-time in their free time, or women with specialized secondary education. The salary of an assistant teacher is lower. In particular, in a Moscow kindergarten it ranges from 5,500 to 18,000 rubles, in St. Petersburg - from 7,000 rubles.

Salary for an assistant teacher in a kindergarten

In the Kirov region, a nanny receives 6,600 rubles, in the Krasnodar Territory - 8,500 rubles. However, private kindergartens located in other regions provide the opportunity for teacher assistants to receive a salary of up to 21,000 rubles.

The position of deputy head of VMR in Russia is highly paid in Moscow and the Moscow region. The salary is 35,000 rubles. and 32,500 rub. respectively. In second place is Kirovsk, in third place is the Magadan region. For senior educators in Russia, as of November 21, 2017: 43.7% of employers offer salaries from 13,000 to 24,700 rubles; 31.1% of offers with a salary from 1,300 to 13,000 rubles; and 19.9% ​​with a salary from 24,700 to 36,400 rubles.

Among the teaching positions that are paid at high rates in Russia is the specialty “boarding school teacher.” The average salary is 26,667 rubles.

Often teachers are on duty at the boarding school at night. For this, a 20% increase in salary is given. A teacher's work lasting more than ten hours a day is paid twice as much. It is these accruals that significantly increase the level of wages of teachers in orphanages.

The salaries of teachers working with children of toddler and preschool age in Russia, regardless of teaching experience, are lower than the salaries of teachers working in schools. In this regard, the problem of increasing the degree of financial support for preschool educational institutions employees is very relevant today.

On the issue of increasing wages for teaching staff involved in preschool education

Teachers' salaries were indexed in 2018. For this, from the state. 180 billion rubles were allocated from the treasury of the Russian Federation, and 340 billion rubles from the regional budget. By order of the President of the Russian Federation, the salary for educators working in extended day groups was increased by only 6-8%, and for teachers - 5.5%.

This is despite the fact that actual inflation, equal to twelve percent, is twice the premium. The expected significant increase did not occur. Periodically, the salaries of teaching staff at all levels of education are indexed in accordance with changes in the country's economy.

An increase in the salary of an assistant teacher is made if the employee has worked for five years in a preschool educational institution. The minimum incidence rate of children per month is also taken into account.

However, recently the staff of kindergartens has been reduced. This is due to a shortage of funds in the state budget. At the same time, the workload on staff remains, and the profession of educator among young people continues to be unclaimed.

Teacher salary calculation

In order to calculate the salary of a teacher, you need to know the size of the base salary, teaching general and continuous work experience, additional education, quarterly bonuses, incentives, regional - northern and district allowances ranging from 15 to 35%, qualification category (second, first, highest ). These factors are determined by local governments.

In this regard, they are different in each individual region. The tariff for qualification is calculated depending on the qualification group. The lowest is ninth. In this regard, young teachers receive much less than experienced specialists.

The following factors influence the increase in salary:

  • working hours up to 12 hours for five days a week (if the teacher works in two shifts, replacing another employee);
  • conducting club work and additional classes;
  • night shifts in boarding schools;
  • organizing and conducting classes for children to learn foreign languages;
  • work in specialized groups (speech therapy, ophthalmology) - 15-20% bonus;
  • part-time job with another position – 10% increase in salary.

Employees of private preschool institutions and children's development centers who recruit small groups have the largest sums of money.

Increase in salaries for teachers in 2019 in Russia

According to representatives of the government apparatus, most of the finances go to the formation of salaries of workers in the social and educational spheres. Despite the fact that the authorities regularly increase the income of public sector employees, information about whether the salaries of educators will be increased in 2019 is of interest to everyone. After all, several years ago the authorities promised to significantly increase salaries for preschool education workers.

The ability to raise other people's children is not given to everyone. Not everyone can boast of tolerance towards children. Therefore, it is difficult for teachers who work not at the behest of their hearts, but out of financial need, to achieve success in this profession.

It is simply necessary to index the salaries of educators in 2019, because today their professional activities are paid extremely low. It is impossible to fulfill your functional duties with pleasure for 15 thousand rubles.

According to “official” statistics, a teacher, regardless of region, on average earns at least 25 thousand rubles per month. But practice shows something else; in most regions, teachers receive 9,000-16,000 rubles.

Where else to go

    In our kindergartens in Chelyabinsk, everything depends on the heads and methodologists, I don’t know why. If you like me, you will get 16 thousand, but a simple teacher gets 11 thousand. You also need to buy manuals and other materials important for work. If you need something, they say right away - work with your parents, collect money from them. We are being set up.

  • Groups overcrowded with children (30 people per teacher), miserable wages, an eternal shortage of nannies, working in two shifts. It seems that a teacher is the most unnecessary profession. The main thing is that the salaries of deputies and officials increase, otherwise their well-fed faces will suddenly lose weight. And they need to work day and night for the “good” of the people.

  • I agree with Anastasia’s opinion. We buy with our own money all the teaching materials for the work, as well as everything that the group requires, even electronic thermometers. They incentivize this with points, but this is wrong. Before the award, like chained people, they run around in groups and look for something to attach themselves to, so that there will be a remark. As a rule, they “suck it out of your finger.” Thankless and disrespected work.

    • I have been working as a teacher for 32 years, and it has never been worse than now! You read in the media that money has been allocated to increase salaries - LIE! They increased the salary, but the rest of the bonuses: for qualifications, for experience, the Ural bonuses - everything was cut. From September 2016 to January 2017, no personal or incentive payments were paid at all. They “tried” so hard to implement Putin’s May decrees that salaries became much less than they were. When you start asking, what about the presidential decree, they do not hesitate to say that he is far away, and this is what he promised, ask him. Toys, thermometers, all supplies for art classes, toilet paper, napkins, literature, both methodological and children's - all the problems of the teacher, the management has no funds, no one allocates them, look for sponsors! They pushed children into groups and wondered why there was such an incidence of injury and illness in children! Bad teachers can't keep track.

      • Yes, points are hard to earn. It is necessary to design the corners, and this depends on how full they are. It turns out we need to work with our parents, ask them. And if it doesn’t work out, buy it on your own. That's what it turns out to be. Is this the right job? That's right - we have management's back. And if suddenly a parent who is dissatisfied with the extortions complains, then more points will be deducted “for poor work with parents.” But the “favorites” still get the most points.

  • And the manager didn’t give a damn about the collective agreement, which says everything that was stated in the Agreement dated December 23, 2016. Everything is perfect for GIT; for the education department, deceiving teachers with payment is a complete saving; and we are shamed for not understanding the difficult situation in the country. But we are not even allowed to read the regulations on incentive payments, thanks to which there is open manipulation of educators.

    • Let me ask you how you are not familiar with the provisions on the distribution of incentive payments? When you sign the order for incentive payments, doesn’t it indicate the basis for establishing the payment? When applying for a job, aren’t you asked to familiarize yourself with the local regulations in force in the institution? I myself am involved in the distribution of compensation and incentive payments and I am interested in how this process is carried out in other institutions.

      • And I will answer you, it is difficult to manipulate several people, but it is very easy to manipulate a mass. Our entire city gives part of the salary to the manager, but no one can declare their rights, much less be outraged publicly! Finding a job is difficult. As a result, our salary slips are very beautiful, but we get pennies.

        In our kindergarten, incentives are distributed by the head and methodologist. At the meeting, one asked: “When will they create a distribution commission?” The manager quickly covered her mouth, screamed, and stomped her feet. People, I have never seen such savagery, for my favorites - that’s all, for the rest - what’s left. And they don’t forget their loved ones. Such a kindergarten is located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, ZATO village Solnechny, No. 4 “Zvezdochka”.

          • I read and am surprised at your lack of insight. In a kindergarten, as a rule, the provision on incentive payments is discussed and adopted at a meeting of the labor collective. A commission is selected and approved by order of the director. Every month the commission monitors the work of the teaching staff, and educators monthly fill out a questionnaire about their activities according to the criteria of the position. At the commission meeting, all this is taken into account and a point system is set. The cost of one point is calculated according to the formula: the amount of 25%-30% allocated for incentives is divided by the number of points collected by the team = the cost of one point. The cost of one point is then multiplied by the number of points earned by each teacher = the amount of incentive payments. A protocol is filled out, in which each teacher signs, and the head writes an order. This is the system we have in kindergarten.

        • They do not have the right to distribute incentive payments this way. The commission should include the chairman of the preschool educational institution trade union and an authoritative preschool educational institution teacher, we also have the head. DOW accountant. The commission’s decision can be challenged if the basis for awarding a point is attached to the table (certificate, order of participation, etc.)

          You need to create a trade union committee and a competent chairman of the trade union committee. Only he can, on his own rights, later create a commission on criteria. Ballam.

      • In our kindergartens, the criteria for evaluating the work of teachers were drawn up by a group of managers (because, according to the economist, they manage the kindergarten’s incentive fund and themselves are involved in the distribution of the incentive fund. The stricter the criteria, the greater the savings, the more targeted the fund). They tried to create such criteria so that the teacher would not have the opportunity to give himself an extra point for his work. And in fact, there really is nothing to put on your score sheet. Incentives - pennies.

      • Our commission distributes the bonus, but still submits it to management for review. And there are their own amendments. Here as everywhere else. The favorites always get the most. No one explains to whom how much they gave less or more for what. Only in a hurry the orders will be given for review in a month. Everyone can familiarize themselves with the regulations. Information at the stand. What does familiarization with the Regulations change?

        They often offer to simply sign in the journal that they have read it. Or just in a table that you attach to just about anything. Most often in hindsight. And God forbid you ask a question. I work in a correctional group with mental retardation, the last graduating class had 21 children, this one has 17. The salary is less than in the mass group. And at least ask...

        Evgeniya, what are you talking about?! After merging with the school, we see nothing. It's the same in our garden. They signed for the collective agreement for us or under the pretext “if we don’t like it, we’re free,” although we didn’t see it in person. How and for what points and incentives are awarded is also not known... This year the “supervision and care” column was changed to “incentive payment” outside the budget. The salary was raised, all additional payments were cut. We know what it takes to participate in competitions, olympiads, additional training, etc. points are awarded, but this year the bonus was awarded once, on Teacher’s Day. They charge money “erroneously”, then force them to return it - they made a mistake from above... In this case, a payslip is issued with this amount, i.e. they are not afraid of anything. The commission for the distribution of incentives existed only for the first year. Further - as more as the management wants. When employees request income certificates, completely different amounts appear there. Teachers are also charged mythical amounts by the end of the school year and then asked to return... First, by cutting 3 teachers into two groups under the guise of a schedule, they “raised” our salaries... now we got to the nannies - the salary was raised in April and one nanny is split between two groups or goes to school to wash the floors, etc. Garden in Moscow.

    • New employment contracts should have been concluded with you, which should specify all the criteria for which they are paid. When people know less, they are easier to deceive. You need to know your rights.

  • This is fine. This is capitalism, the labor market. There will be no one willing to work for pennies, wages will rise. Otherwise, it will be necessary to close kindergartens, and this will create social tension with all that it entails. In the meantime, there is a queue of people who want to receive “at least some money”, why should you pay more? You yourself chose the executive and legislative authorities, so everything is fine! My sister is a teacher, salary is 9 thousand rubles.

  • I work as a teacher in the municipal kindergarten Ivanovo (June 2017)
    The salary is net 11,500.
    It is impossible to survive, only my husband supports me.
    I worked 12 years ago in Moscow - it was many times easier, now it feels like we are teaching at a university, constantly gluing something, cutting it out, competitions, holidays, performances - I no longer have the strength. If we don’t do it, we won’t receive incentives, because... salary is about 4738 rubles!
    In quiet times, we don’t raise our heads from plans, they demand everything in electronic form + we are preparing materials for classes, there are 25 hyperactive kids in the group, and the salary doesn’t even think about getting up.

    I’m thinking about leaving, because the work is very hard, and, unfortunately, you can’t survive on the love of children!

  • I work as a teacher in Rostov. The teaching experience is 30 years, the highest category, and the salary is 16 thousand net, for young educators - 11-12 thousand. How can you live on such a salary? The cry of the soul - why is the work of a teacher assessed so low, while at the same time you dedicate a decent amount of your health to preschool education? At the same time, having earned a pension of 7 thousand for 30 years of experience. Shame, there is deception everywhere! Although the pay in the region and incentives are decent. And here is a city of a million! The desire to work in kindergarten completely disappears! It's better to become a nanny.

    June 2017. Perm region. With a high school diploma, I worked as a teacher for 3,200. I have no time for children at all, because... The teacher is constantly pulled, in addition, the parents say to his face: “You are a servant!” I also carried my work home and until late at night there were only plans and plans, cutting, pasting, entertaining in every possible way, and we got a hat from our parents and bosses. Now it seems like 10,260 - of which 1,500 is tax = 8,500 rubles in hand. It’s the same with the work of a teacher, the parents are even more aggressive, because everyone wants 5, sometimes they sit in class, “check” how the teacher conducts the lessons, so that they can crap behind their back. The salary of a nanny in a kindergarten is also 10,260, the work is physical, but there is less responsibility and she does not carry work home, and her salary is no different from the salary of a teacher.

  • Teacher in the Saratov region, in the city of Marks. With clean hands, 11,000 rubles. It’s impossible to work: points, paint, whitewash, wash, three. There is a lot of paperwork, no time for children.

              • That's for sure.

                Let's all get the hell out of this job all at once, let the parents raise them themselves and stay at home! Maybe then the government began to think about it, but what to think about...

              • The job of a teacher is thankless, hard work.
                There is no need to make enemies out of parents!
                Girls, this is your protection, you need to tell them about your difficulties.
                When parents find out that their children were stuffed into a group (violating sanitary standards) like a herring in a jar, it will become clear why they are overexcited and sick. When they find out your salary, they will carry the paper themselves.
                And they don’t care about the kindergarten administration, let them be afraid. Only then will they begin to restore order.

              • I read the reviews and was shocked. I am from Kamchatka, I work as a teacher. My salary is 8110, salary is 30,000. But they provide for us, money is allocated for the project. material, teaching literature (although I buy a lot myself), art materials, etc... But the salary is not exceeded, with a salary of 7000, with a salary of 8110 I get all the same 30,000. But our prices are wow, that these 30,000 are not enough... I don’t know how nannies and single mothers live... It’s absolutely brutal...

              • This is exactly how it should be, but we will not live to see it. Bureaucrats believe that Russian women are two-core. We are ashamed of our children, we cannot provide for them, what are they to blame for?

                I agree with all the comments. Teachers are the most miserable profession. I think no one will ever hear us unless we all ring the bells of justice together.

                Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tazovsky, Far North. The salary is 5500, both for the teacher and for the social worker. teacher Young teachers are paid 12-14 thousand. A loaf of bread is 50 rubles. Milk - 90 rub. kg of meat - 500 rub. Parents and bosses do not value young people at all. After 2 months work, health problems began due to nervousness. Gone. Nothing to regret.

                Voronezh region. The same. We survive. There are many children in groups. There are even more requirements for the quality of OOD, plans and everything else. It seems that teachers owe everything, but no one owes them anything.

                Shame on the deputies! They can receive a salary from the budget in the amount of 300,000 thousand rubles. But there is no money for kindergarten workers. They themselves would work with 25 or more children for that salary. Deputies, look where the money from the budget goes. The Central Bank is rescuing banks that have transferred all the funds into their pockets abroad, and kindergarten workers receive poverty wages.

                After all, no one will read these comments, these cries of the soul! People studied, getting an education, constantly some kind of advanced training, additional tasks and assignments, endless checks, daily hassle “how to finish the day without an emergency” and in the evening “thank God, everyone is alive and well”!
                After two shifts I have no strength to look after my own children. But there are not enough teachers, there are no nannies. Parents are unhappy. Why did you need to study at the university to stand in the market? And who should I complain to? The king is far away, God is high...

              • Dear teachers, music directors and other preschool workers! Low bow to you for your hard labor! Fight for yourself, declare yourself, write collective letters to the president about your miserable salary, your administration, to the Ministry of Education, look for all possible ways, achieve a decent standard of living. You deserved this long ago, not the deputies and officials.

                Girls, you are right! I have been working as a teacher for 11 years, I am 62 years old. Before that she worked as an accountant. It's a thankless job. There are 30 children in the group, and there is a constant shortage of nannies and teachers. The demands are exorbitant, but there is no help. The union remains silent, only collecting monthly dues. The deputies should be put on our salary and pension. Let's see how they sing then!

                Tver region Ped. experience - 21 years. The same problems - salaries from 10-13. Purchasing the necessary materials for working with children. Repair of the garden, playground equipment, equipment on the site - at the expense of the parents. How long will this chaos continue throughout Russia?

                I am also a teacher. I have been working for 17 years. I am a third generation teacher. Altai region. I live in a village. I get 11,000. In general, we have undergone optimization: one manager for 6 gardens, and the managers remained her assistants. Now, in order to receive additional payments, you need to remain silent. If you go around and figure out why and how, you are morally oppressed, they ask your parents to write complaints against the teacher, and all that. But I remember how since childhood I dreamed of being a teacher. And now I regretted 1000 times that I went. My mother worked for 45 years in a kindergarten, there was still the USSR, she received 80 rubles, and we had everything we wanted, we went on vacation every year, but now? They want us women to work until we are 65! Girls, it’s scary, will we live to a happy old age with our stress, psyche, and health? And our state, excuse the expression, doesn’t give a damn how you live on a meager pension; no person, no problem. But I was born in the USSR, and I could not remain silent, I was taught to be fair and honest. Dear teachers! Patience, love! If we are united, we may achieve something, but otherwise there is no point. We need fair trade unions, but they don’t exist!

                And in the Perm region, a teacher’s salary per shift without taxes is 8,500 + a bonus of 10 thousand (you still have to earn it). The bonus was 20 thousand last year, but it was cut. And from ordinary doctors (not doctors, of course) 10 thousand have been cut since last year. (February 2018)

                I work in Moscow ml. teacher in the departmental garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There is money for teachers - 35-40 thousand. And the nanny receives - 11 thousand, and then you need to be “friends” with the authorities. All this is disgusting! I’m working until the holidays, and everyone has gone to hell...

              • I quit a week ago! Tired of enduring bullying from all sides! Tolerate 35 children and their parents for pennies, and bosses with complaints, just to deprive you of incentives. Wow! I have no words. I’d better keep quiet and leave. I won't change anything alone.

                I completely agree with everyone. All teachers, with the help of trade unions, need at least one day of strike, maybe then the state will notice that people also work in the kindergarten, and not just servants.

                But in our kindergarten, the caretaker works in the second position of a laundress, and withdraws money through junior teachers, that is, he pays it to us, and we transfer it to her. This is not correct, everything is clear. What to do in such a situation? The child goes to this kindergarten, and he has to work somewhere. Salary net 12500 rub. This is only from this year. And regarding the caretaker and her work, tell me what to do. They suggest contacting the labor inspectorate.

Speech therapy dates back to the 20th century, when it was realized that problems with articulation arise not only at the physical level, but are also psychological in nature. Then a separate branch appeared that connects the basics of physiology, psychology and pedagogy - it is this set of knowledge that a speech therapist has. Until this time, speech disorders were treated only with medical methods.

The essence of the work is simple - you need to correct diction in adults and children, eliminate various shortcomings in it.

The methods of work are varied: massage, articulation exercises, conversations with a specialist are enough to produce speech. If the problem is not only with poor speech, a neurologist, ENT specialist, psychologist and pediatrician are involved in the work, with the consent of the parents. There is a separate highly specialized area - a speech therapist-defectologist. He works with children who have problems not only with speech and speech perception, but also with cognitive impairment.

The position of speech therapist is mandatory in educational and medical institutions:

  • Children's preschool institutions;
  • Hospitals and clinics;
  • Children's specialized centers for rehabilitation and correction of hearing and speech.

A common practice is to open a private office.

Speech therapist's earnings

The profession of speech therapist is gaining more and more momentum, but despite this, the income is not so high. Although the requirements for this specialist are mandatory higher speech therapy or defectology education. And job responsibilities must be performed clearly:

  1. First appointment. Examination of the client (patient) and determination of his level of speech development.
  2. Establishing diagnosis.
  3. Selection of methods and methods of correction/treatment.
  4. Conducting troubleshooting sessions. Classes can be individual or group.
  5. Development/selection of special exercises for homework.
  6. Evaluation of the work done.
  7. Maintaining reports and documentation (if the institution requires it).

So, the profession is quite serious, despite its superficial monosyllabic name.

What is the average salary for a speech therapist?

So what is the average salary for speech therapists? Income will depend on the region of the country and the specific place of work of this specialist. Payment can be made hourly or monthly.

The average salary in budgetary institutions, where wages are fixed, is approximately 17,000 - 20,000 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, the salary of a speech therapist at school is slightly higher than payment in kindergartens.

The speech therapist can set the hourly wage himself if he is engaged in private practice.

If a speech therapist manages in his private practice to reach an adult, serious audience, where for people clear and correctly delivered speech is an integral part of life, then in this case you can earn a lot of money.

When a speech therapist works in private institutions, qualifications and experience, the number of sessions with a given specialist, and the ability to individually find methods for each child are usually taken into account; his personal characteristics (kindness towards the child, responsibility, punctuality). In this case, there is a salary increase, but not more than 20% of the present one. But this applies to education systems where fees are set by local government.

The demand for speech therapists in the modern world is growing, because, according to statistics, the number of children who have problems with oral and written speech is also growing. Unfortunately, the current environment and the lack of live communication with parents leave a significant mark on the development of the child, so the services of a speech therapist will still be relevant for a long period. A specialist in this area, in addition to his skills and knowledge, must also constantly develop his internal qualities. You need to be able to not only approach each client individually, but also have a large supply of patience, because the process of correcting speech deficiencies can take a long time for one person.

Speech therapist's monthly income

The article has already touched on the average salary of a speech therapist.

This begs the question: how much does a speech therapist earn per month? Much depends on length of service.

  • As practice shows, in educational and preschool institutions, in clinics, the salary of a speech therapist starts at 10 thousand rubles, if the specialist has no work experience and relevant skills.
  • If you have little work experience (more than a year), the salary varies from 18 to 23 thousand rubles.
  • If you have more than three years of experience in this area, the income level can start from 23 thousand rubles and reach 45 thousand rubles per month.

These data on the earnings of speech therapists were collected in different regions of Russia. But the more developed the region and the more populated, the higher the income level.

Salary of a speech therapist depending on the region of the Russian Federation

This profession is gaining popularity every year. This specialization was even included in the ranking of the best promising professions. It is recognized as one of the potentially increasing in income and progressive in relevance. But this is in the future, and today experts note this specialty as low-paid in relation to demand. So today, how much does a speech therapist earn in Russia?

The largest number of open vacancies in this area are located in the Moscow region, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar territories.

Of course, Moscow is the richest city with the highest incomes and overall standard of living. Therefore, more about it a little later. In 2017, in the Russian Federation, the highest paid profession of speech therapist was recognized in the Kamchatka Territory (average monthly income of 27,000), followed by the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions.

All other regions adhere to the amounts that were described earlier in the article. The average amount of 20,000 thousand rubles is held by Irkutsk, followed by Komsomolsk and Krasnodar.

Depending on the place of work, wages also fluctuate.

Thus, the salary of a speech therapist in a kindergarten can range from 10 to 25 thousand rubles. The larger the city, the higher the wages. In Krasnodar, for example, you can earn 25,000 rubles as a speech therapist in a state kindergarten, and in a private kindergarten in the same city the figure reaches 40,000 rubles. And in Samara you can work as a speech therapist in a garden for 10-11 rubles.

The average salary of a speech therapist in Russia is slightly higher than that of a speech therapist working in a kindergarten. The salary of a speech therapist teacher ranges from 10,000 to 27,000 rubles. Speech therapists have the highest income in the Kamchatka Territory, averaging 26,000 rubles. It is followed by the Ivanovo and Vologda regions. And in Moscow it can reach the level of 60,000 rubles.

Of course, it is also important to take into account the direction of work. The services of a speech therapist-defectologist are rated slightly higher than just a speech therapist. This is because this area is at the intersection of psychology, pedagogy, medicine and sociology, and, accordingly, the level of knowledge, skills and abilities should also be higher. What are the requirements for a speech pathologist?

  1. Higher relevant education;
  2. Experience working with “special” children.
  3. Experience in conducting the necessary programs and techniques.
  4. Maintaining primary documentation is mandatory.
  5. Interaction with parents, their consultation.
  6. Knowledge of methods and special programs of correctional programs.

Based on all this, the salary of a speech therapist-defectologist is slightly higher, and can vary from 16 thousand rubles. up to 65 tr. The average salary in Russia for a speech therapist-defectologist is only 25-27 thousand rubles, despite the high demands and high responsibility of a specialist.

The capital of Russia, of course, is the richest in terms of the number and diversity of specialists, and this raises a reasonable question - how much does a speech therapist earn in Moscow?

It’s difficult to say how much a speech therapist earns in private practice in the capital, but it’s clear that the money is decent. As for fixed wages, the average salary offer in Moscow is 37,000-42,000 thousand rubles. The amount depends on the rate (time spent at work) and the institution itself. As the statisticians show on the histograms, the salary of a speech therapist in Moscow varies from 15,000 rubles. up to 85,000 TR

So, based on the above facts, we can generalize that in a state kindergarten, school or clinic, a speech therapist receives from $160 to $350 per month. In private lyceums, preschool institutions, development centers, salaries are higher - from $400-700 per month. High incomes (from $1000 and above) can only be brought by private practice.
