This is an excellent opportunity for SLPAs who are passionate about helping students succeed and want to work in a structured, team-focused school environment.

About the Opportunity

As an SLPA with PDS, you'll work under the supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to deliver therapy services to students with a variety of communication needs.

You'll gain valuable hands-on experience while being supported by an experienced clinical and administrative team.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Annual therapy materials stipend
  • Licensure reimbursement
  • Access to training resources and professional development
Qualifications
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Speech-Language Pathology Assisting or related field
  • Active SLPA license
  • Previous pediatric or school-based experience is a plus, but not required
Responsibilities
  • Provide direct therapy services following plans created by the supervising SLP
  • Support students in areas such as articulation, expressive/receptive language, and social communication
  • Accurately document sessions and track student progress
  • Assist with implementing IEP goals and classroom carryover strategies
  • Collaborate with teachers, staff, and supervising SLPs to support student outcomes
Why Join PDS?

PDS is committed to creating a supportive and rewarding experience for our clinicians. From consistent communication to professional growth opportunities, we ensure you have what you need to succeed in your role.
