• Full school-year assignment with consistent weekly hours

Minimum Qualifications

• Completion of at least 100 hours of supervised fieldwork (or equivalent clinical experience)

• Knowledge of and adherence to professional practice standards

• TB screening (if applicable)

• Current health clearance per state or contract requirements

• Must meet all federal, state, and local employment requirements

• Must be at least 18 years of age

Why This Role Stands Out

• Supportive and collaborative team of SLPs
