Speech-Language Pathologist - Delaware

Speech-Language Pathologist - Delaware

ACTIVE Liricare

Location: US, Delaware

Employment Type: Full time

Salary Range: $43 - $62

Description: Make $43–$55/hour — W-2 (full benefits included) Or $62/hour — 1099 Location: Statewide Delaware (New Castle, Kent & Sussex Counties) Schedule: Flexible | Home & Community-Based

About the Role: We're hiring Speech-Language Pathologists to deliver early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) and their families across Delaware through the state's Birth to Three (B23) Early Intervention Program under IDEA Part C. This is not a traditional clinical role. You won't be working in a clinic or school. You'll be visiting families in their homes and community settings like childcare centers, parks, grandparents' homes, wherever the child's life happens. Your primary partner is the caregiver, not just the child. Delaware's B23 program uses an evidence-based coaching model: your role is to build family capacity, embed communication strategies into everyday routines, and empower caregivers to support their child's development throughout the day, not just during your visit. If you're drawn to meaningful, relationship-centered work with very young children and families, and you're comfortable being the expert in the room without a team around you, this role is built for you.

The Setting: Services are delivered in natural environments as required under IDEA Part C, meaning the child's home, daycare, or community. You'll carry a caseload across one or more Delaware counties, working closely with service coordinators and multidisciplinary EI teams to implement IFSPs (Individualized Family Service Plans). Delaware is a small state, but your caseload may span multiple counties. Reliable transportation and a comfort with independent, community-based work are essential.

Why LiriCare: At LiriCare, we focus on building long-term careers and partnerships, not just placements. Everything we offer is designed to support clinicians with better tools, stronger systems, and real professional growth. What sets us apart:

• Liri AI — built for therapists: Streamline documentation across evaluations, IFSP goals, session notes, and progress reports so you can focus more on families and less on paperwork.
• Marketplace earnings: Upload your own therapy resources and keep 96% of every sale. Your clinical expertise creates additional income beyond your hourly rate.
• Profit-sharing: Eligible providers receive performance-based bonuses tied to engagement and clinical impact.
• Built-in community: Connect with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and educators nationwide through peer groups, mentorship, and real-time collaboration.
• Flexible tools & workflow: Integrated systems for scheduling, documentation, and communication, built to make community-based work easier.

Compensation & Benefits: $43–$48/hour (W-2) based on experience - $62/hour (1099) Full benefits package for W-2 employees:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings with employer match
• Annual professional development allowance
• Sign-on and relocation bonuses (select candidates)
• Free access to Liri AI tools and platform (valued at $1,500)

What You'll Do:

• Deliver speech-language services to infants and toddlers in home and community settings
• Coach and support caregivers to embed communication strategies into daily routines
• Conduct evaluations and assessments to support IFSP development
• Develop measurable IFSP goals aligned with family priorities and child development
• Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings and IFSP reviews
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with Delaware B23 and IDEA Part C requirements
• Collaborate with service coordinators, OTs, PTs, and other EI providers

What You'll Need:

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology
• Active Delaware SLP license (or eligibility to obtain prior to start)
• ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred
• Experience with pediatric populations, especially birth to 3, is a strong plus
• Familiarity with IFSP processes and IDEA Part C is desirable but not required
• Comfort with the coaching model and family-centered practice
• Reliable transportation for home and community visits across Delaware
• Strong communication, documentation, and independent practice skills

About This Work: Early intervention is one of the most impactful settings in our field. The research is clear: services delivered in the first three years of life produce outcomes that no later intervention can fully replicate. As a B23 SLP, you're not treating isolated speech sounds, you're shaping how a child communicates, connects, and develops during the most critical window of their life. You'll build genuine, ongoing relationships with families. You'll see real progress, a first word, a new gesture, a caregiver who finally feels confident. This is the kind of work that stays with you.
