Our team of professionals is committed to excellence, innovation, and making a positive difference in the lives of the students we serve. We are a therapist and woman-owned and operated company.

Position Overview:

As a Clinical Fellow Speech-Language Pathologist, you will work closely with students, educators, and families to assess, diagnose, and treat communication disorders within the school setting.

The school year starts for employees on August 4, 2026. Anyone secured before that date will be anticipated to start with regular employees. This will allow the opportunity for training and caseload scheduling before students return on August 12, 2026.
These positions would follow the district calendar for dates of employment from August 4, 2026, to May 27, 2027, with 190 working days.

All schools potentially have a range of general education students needing speech/language therapy as well as 1-2 self-contained special education classrooms.
Some elementary schools may also have 1-2 pre-kindergarten special education classes.
