• Knowledge of best practices in assessment, therapy planning, and documentation

• Preferred: Prior exposure to school-based speech-language services; openness to SLPA support if qualified

• Deliver speech-language interventions to students individually and in group settings
• Conduct evaluations, maintain accurate records, and contribute to IEP meetings
• Communicate progress with families and collaborate with educational staff
