What the Speech/Hearing Specialist family covers
Speech/Hearing Specialist is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Clinical titles staff the state psychiatric hospitals, the developmental centers, the veterans homes and the county health departments. Licensure usually does the gatekeeping that an exam does elsewhere, so the qualification text points at a board registration rather than a test score, and the competitive exam is often an evaluation of credentials. This is also the corner of the compendium where the state pays to fill vacancies faster: several health care titles can be hired above the bottom step under the special incentive program.
