• Collaborate with occupational therapists, physical therapists, physicians, and other pediatric healthcare professionals.
• Monitor progress, modify treatment plans, and maintain accurate clinical documentation.
• Provide compassionate, family-centered care that supports each child's confidence, independence, and quality of life.

Experience:

• Two to three years of pediatric speech-language pathology experience strongly preferred.
• Experience working with children with feeding and swallowing disorders or autism spectrum disorder is highly desirable.
