What Is Home Care Speech Therapy?
As a speech therapist, you are dedicated to helping children, and families overcome communication challenges and improve their quality of life. At AMP PEDIATRIC THERAPY, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that's why we provide home care speech therapy services. We understand that children are more likely to engage in therapy when they are in a familiar, comfortable environment, which is why we bring our expertise to the homes, daycares, and private schools of our clients. Our team of highly-trained pediatric speech-language pathologists are equipped with the knowledge and skills to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a wide range of delays and disorders. With a minimum of a master's degree in their field, our therapists have studied anatomy and physiology, neuroanatomy, genetics, human and language development, linguistics, psychology, acoustics, and more. We are committed to providing the highest quality of care to our clients and helping them achieve their goals.
Why Do Parents Choose our Speech Therapists?
Suppose a child is struggling with essential speech developmental milestones for their age. Developmental issues are likely present. In that case, parents reach out to us for help. We pair them up with one of our many Speech therapists that live within three zip codes of their home, creating the building blocks of a relationship that is likely to last for years. Generally, children begin to babble from around six months and say their first words between ten and 15 months. Most start speaking at about 12 months. Our relationship with our kiddos and their families begins around this time. Parents reach out to us once they identify that speech milestones are not being met.

What are independent contractors 1099 and employees W2?
The positions that we offer to our therapists here at AMP PEDIATRIC THERAPY is as an independent contractor, so it is essential to know the difference between a 1099 and a W2.
An independent contractor is self-employed.
When you enter into a contract with a company as an independent contractor for a specific role like being a Pediatric Physical Therapists, you have more control. It gives you the ability to set your hours and use your tools like electronic devices and toys, or other items to provide the treatment to the kiddos. Since you are self-employed, the company you entered into a contract with will not withhold any taxes from your paycheck. You pay your own taxes. It gives you the ability to have significantly larger deductions when filing your taxes for the necessary items to accomplish your job. It also provides the company with the ability to provide you with higher wages than an employee.
An employee is hired by a business under an employment agreement.
The hiring company will withhold taxes from your wages. They will have to train you in their specific way of providing therapy, and they may provide benefits. Because of this, the hiring company will have more control over you as an employee- They dictate what you work on and when you work.
Both of these types of contracts have their pros and cons. You have to decide what works best for you as an individual when choosing between these options. As of today, our practice only offers 1099 contracts to our therapists since it gives us the ability to provide the most to our team members under this model.
So there you have it, everything you need to know about becoming a long-lasting Pediatric Speech Therapists team member of the AMP PEDIATRIC THERAPY family.
