Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA)

The Creekside School

About The Creekside School

The Creekside School is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Through person-centered support, meaningful relationships, and evidence-based practices, we empower every individual to reach their fullest potential while fostering independence, dignity, and community inclusion.

Our school provides individualized educational and therapeutic services designed to help students build communication, academic, social, behavioral, and life skills in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Every day, our team works together to create meaningful educational experiences where students feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.

No two days are the same. One day you might be supporting a student's first successful use of an AAC device, the next helping facilitate communication during a classroom activity, celebrating a new speech milestone, or collaborating with your supervising SLP to develop strategies that help a student communicate more independently. Every day brings new opportunities to make a meaningful difference while building lasting relationships.

Our Mission in Action

At The Creekside School, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to communicate, connect, and thrive. Our Speech-Language Pathologist Assistants play an essential role in helping students develop functional communication skills, build confidence, strengthen social interactions, and increase independence.

Whether you're supporting a therapy session, encouraging a student's communication attempts, or celebrating a breakthrough with a student and their family, you'll make a meaningful difference every day.

Why You'll Love Working Here

When you join The Creekside School, you become part of a team that values collaboration, compassion, and continuous learning.

We offer:
  • Meaningful work that makes a lasting difference in students' lives.
  • A supportive team that values collaboration and respect.
  • Ongoing professional development and mentorship from experienced Speech-Language Pathologists.
  • Opportunities to grow your career in special education and speech-language pathology.
  • A person-centered environment where every student is treated with dignity and respect.
  • The opportunity to help students build communication skills that support lifelong independence.
Our Culture

Our work is guided by the values that define The Creekside School:
  • Relationships First - We build trusting relationships with students, families, and one another.
  • Person-Centered Support - Every student's goals, strengths, and individual needs guide our services.
  • Learning Through Experience - We create meaningful opportunities for students to communicate, connect, and grow.
  • Teamwork - We collaborate across disciplines to support every student's success.
  • Continuous Growth - We believe in learning, improving, and helping every student reach their fullest potential.
Make a Difference Every Day

Are you passionate about helping students find their voice and communicate with confidence?

The Creekside School is seeking a compassionate, collaborative, and motivated Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA) to join our multidisciplinary team. Working under the supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, you'll help students with autism and developmental disabilities develop communication skills that promote learning, independence, and meaningful social connections.

As an SLPA, you'll do more than provide therapy support-you'll build relationships, encourage communication, celebrate student successes, and help create meaningful learning experiences that positively impact students both inside and outside the classroom.

What You'll Do
  • Implement individualized speech and language therapy plans under the supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.
  • Provide direct speech-language therapy services to students individually and in small groups.
  • Support students in developing speech, language, social communication, and functional communication skills.
  • Assist with the implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems and communication strategies.
  • Document student progress and maintain accurate therapy records.
  • Prepare therapy materials and organize treatment activities.
  • Collaborate with Speech-Language Pathologists, teachers, families, and multidisciplinary team members to support student success.
  • Reinforce communication goals throughout the educational environment.
  • Participate in team meetings, IEP discussions as appropriate, and professional development opportunities.
  • Maintain compliance with school policies, supervision requirements, and applicable state and federal regulations.
  • Support a collaborative, positive school culture.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
What We're Looking For

Minimum Qualifications
  • Completion of an accredited Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA) program.
  • Current California SLPA license or registration, as required.
  • Knowledge of speech and language development and common communication disorders.
  • Ability to implement treatment plans under the supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.
  • Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
  • Commitment to building positive relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with children with autism spectrum disorders or developmental disabilities.
  • Experience in a Nonpublic School (NPS), special education, or therapeutic educational setting.
  • Familiarity with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems.
  • Knowledge of IEP processes and special education regulations.
  • Bilingual skills are a plus.
  • Experience collaborating within multidisciplinary teams.
Why Join The Creekside School?
  • Meaningful work that changes students' lives every day.
  • Supportive and collaborative multidisciplinary team.
  • Mentorship from experienced Speech-Language Pathologists.
  • Ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities.
  • Work in a person-centered school that values dignity, inclusion, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
