We conducted a survey on the working conditions of speech-language-hearing therapists (ST) in special needs education schools. The numbers of full-time and part-time workers and the actual working hours of ST were all low, to a significantly greater degree in elementary sections and schools for hearing impairment, and to a lesser degree in schools for visual impairment and health impairment. It is estimated that the actual working hours of ST are concentrated in the specific sections and schools. It is necessary to promote understanding of ST's specialty and to improve the profession's recognition to promote cooperation and participation in the field of special needs education.
