Thrive Therapies Group

Job Description

Job Description

ABOUT THRIVE THERAPIES

Thrive Therapies Group is a pediatric healthcare organization on a mission to revolutionize the care of children with disabilities and those facing barriers to access. We provide results-driven services and intelligent tools to support children’s development, well-being, and health. At the heart of this mission are the people who change the trajectories of children’s lives. We work for them.

We work exclusively in K–12 schools — because school is where clinical care becomes transformative. Roughly half of all children identified with a disability receive their services in schools, not in healthcare settings. For many of those children, the school-based clinician is the care. Thrive is built around that reality.

We work exclusively with historically under-resourced, neurodiverse K–12 communities. Equity isn’t a tagline — it’s the core of why we exist. Our school partners request Thrive by name because they want better outcomes for students with disabilities.

WHAT MAKES THRIVE THERAPIES DIFFERENT

OUR MISSION

There are organizations that place clinicians in schools. Thrive is something different. We are a pediatric healthcare organization built around a singular belief: that school is where clinical care becomes transformative — that a therapy goal in a clinic is a therapy goal, but a therapy goal in a school becomes a friendship on the playground, a kid who feels they belong, a child who gets to participate in the full arc of childhood. Everything we build — our technology, our workload model, our clinical community — exists to protect that work and the clinicians who deliver it.

THE WORKLOAD MODEL

Thrive uses a workload model that accounts for the full scope of SLP work — direct therapy, evaluations, IEP writing, meetings, documentation, and travel — and sizes your assignment to be sustainable for the long haul.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Our AI-powered tools were built by clinicians who were tired of losing evenings to documentation. They handle evaluation report generation, session notes, paperwork, and progress summaries — and they give our clinicians 10+ hours back every week. The tools are continuously improved based on clinician feedback. They belong to you as much as anyone.

THE CLINICAL COMMUNITY

You have a community here and are never alone. You have clinical supervision through a role-alike leader, quarterly professional development led by Thrive’s Senior Director of Related Services — substantive, school-based, and built for your level of expertise, and monthly role-alike communities of practice for case conferencing. You have a paid Summer Intensive that brings the full clinical team together each year. And you have peers across the organization you can reach every day.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Thrive SLP in the Greater Tampa, FL region, you will deliver evidence-based speech and language services to students K–12 with a range of communication needs: language disorders, articulation and phonological delays, fluency, voice, and complex/AAC users. You will evaluate, diagnose, develop IEP goals, deliver direct and consultative services, and collaborate with special education teams, general educators, families, and related services providers to build inclusive, data-driven intervention plans. You are a full member of the community.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

EVALUATION & ELIGIBILITY

  • Conduct comprehensive speech and language evaluations using standardized and dynamic assessment tools (CELF, GFTA, TOLD, PLS, CASL, and others) to determine eligibility for services under IDEA and applicable state standards

  • Complete full psycholinguistic profiles including receptive/expressive language, phonology, fluency, voice, and pragmatics as appropriate to the referral

  • Write evaluation reports that are clinically rigorous, legally defensible, and accessible to IEP team members across disciplines

  • Participate in eligibility determination meetings and provide clinical interpretation of results to families, educators, and administrators

  • Conduct re-evaluations (triennials) in accordance with IDEA timelines

IEP DEVELOPMENT & SERVICE DELIVERY

  • Develop individualized IEP goals that are measurable, standards-aligned, and meaningful to the student’s educational and communicative participation

  • Deliver direct individual and small-group therapy sessions aligned to IEP goals across articulation, language, fluency, voice, AAC, and social communication

  • Provide consultative services to general and special education teachers on communication strategies, classroom accommodations, and language-based learning supports

  • Participate in IEP meetings as the SLP of record, including annual reviews, amendment meetings, and manifestation determinations when relevant

  • Maintain accurate, timely service logs and progress notes in compliance with state documentation requirements — supported by Thrive’s AI documentation tools

COLLABORATION & TEAMING

  • Partner with special education teachers, OTs, PTs, BCBAs, school psychologists, and mental health clinicians on integrated, student-centered IEP teams

  • Communicate regularly with families about student progress, home strategies, and upcoming IEP decisions in a way that is clear, warm, and jargon-free

  • Consult with classroom teachers on language-based learning challenges, vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and written language supports

  • Contribute to RTI/MTSS Tier 1 and Tier 2 language screening and progress monitoring at the universal level

  • Coordinate with outside providers, medical professionals, and community agencies when clinically appropriate

AAC & SPECIALIZED POPULATIONS

  • Evaluate for and implement augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems — including high-tech devices (Proloquo2Go, TouchChat, LAMP) and low-tech supports — for students with complex communication needs

  • Train classroom staff, paraprofessionals, and families on AAC implementation and aided language stimulation strategies

  • Serve students with a range of diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, developmental language disorder, and acquired communication disorders

  • Implement evidence-based approaches including PROMPT, Lidcombe, DTTC, PECS, social thinking frameworks, and language experience approaches as appropriate to each student’s profile

QUALIFICATIONS

REQUIRED

  • Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from a CAA-accredited program

  • Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from ASHA, OR active Clinical Fellowship (CF) with CCC-SLP supervision provided by Thrive

  • Active state SLP license in good standing, or documented initiation of licensure transfer prior to start date

  • Knowledge of IDEA, IEP process, eligibility criteria, and special education law as it applies to SLP services in K–12 settings

PREFERRED

  • 1+ years of school-based SLP experience (CF year in a school setting counts)

  • Experience with AAC evaluation and implementation

  • Bilingual (Spanish) — bilingual SLPs are strongly encouraged to apply; additional compensation applies

  • Familiarity with RTI/MTSS frameworks and universal screening protocols
