The Clinical Staffing Gap

Clinical Vacancies Are the Hardest to Fill, and Costly to Ignore

With ESS Clinical MSP, a free, simple solution is possible.

Special education positions remain the single most difficult roles for public schools in the U.S. to fill. The national average in 2024–25 is about one psychologist for every 1,071 students, more than double NASP’s recommended ratio of one per 500. Over 70% of school-based respondents reported that speech-language pathologist openings outnumbered job seekers in their area in 2024.

Patching these gaps with multiple contractors adds cost and administrative strain. There’s a better way to fill vacancies at no extra cost to you.
