• Collaborate with classroom teachers, special educators, and staff to support individualized education plans (IEPs) and promote student success.
• Document and track student progress, maintain accurate records, and participate in IEP meetings.
• Provide specialized services in the ESC and BEST classrooms and coordinate additional support as needed for referred students.
• Communicate regularly with families and contribute to interdisciplinary teams for comprehensive student care.

Desired Qualifications:

• Active SLP license required.
• Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) preferred.
• Experience working in K-12 settings; familiarity with school-based caseloads is highly valued.
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with flexibility to travel between sites as needed.
