• Proven background in pediatric speech-language therapy, especially within educational settings
• Experience with adolescents and middle school-aged students is highly desirable
• Familiarity with IEPs, evaluation protocols, and school communication processes

• Collaborating with teachers and special education staff to support student IEP goals
• Delivering therapy and interventions tailored to student needs in middle and high school
• Maintaining consistent and timely documentation in compliance with school guidelines
• Assisting in transition planning for older students

You’ll find a structured weekday schedule, a supportive multidisciplinary team, and the chance to positively influence students’ developmental and academic journeys.
