Speech Therapy - Schools - SLP Clinical Fellow

We are a clinician-led community of 22 Speech-Language Pathologists united by a shared belief that our profession can and should be more fulfilling, sustainable, and joyful.
For nearly 20 years, we've specialized in supporting early-career clinicians as they transition into real-world practice. As we expand our presence in rural and suburban schools across Virginia, we're energized by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for children and families while staying deeply rooted in what matters most—our clinicians.

For SLP-As: Supervision That Empowers
More than supervision: SLP-As at Chatterboxes are supported with intention, clarity, and respect. Our supervision model is designed to help you grow with confidence while always feeling supported:

• Consistent mentorship & collaboration — SLP-As meet regularly with their supervising SLP to review therapy plans, reflect on sessions, problem-solve challenges, and track professional growth. Hands-on guidance, not micromanagement — Supervising SLPs balance oversight with trust, empowering SLP-As to grow while always having access to guidance when needed.
• A growth-centered experience — SLP-A mentorship at Chatterboxes is designed to build clinical confidence, professional communication skills, and comfort navigating school, home, and community settings. Truly Connected — You become part of a close-knit SLP community that stays connected every day through our Sanctuary Leaders, SLP Liaison, and clinical team. Whether virtually or in person, we prioritize real relationships, shared problem-solving, and ongoing support that feels personal, not corporate.

🌱 Beyond direct service, we intentionally create pathways into leadership, mentorship, in-service facilitation, community partnerships, and special projects—so you can use your strengths in ways that feel energizing and meaningful.
