Evaluation & Assessment:

• Maintain organized, welcoming therapy space(s) and manage therapy materials and equipment.

Documentation & Collaboration:

• Write clear, meaningful treatment plans, progress reports, and IEP documentation aligned to reporting periods.
• Participate in IEP meetings, parent consultations, and interprofessional collaboration.
• Collaborate with families, caregivers, educators, and other professionals to promote skill generalization.

Team, Compliance & Professionalism:

• Fulfill mandated-reporter responsibilities and follow all school policies and safety procedures.
• Maintain student confidentiality in line with FERPA and HIPAA.
• Participate in team meetings, professional development, and reflective practice.

Who You Are:

• Licensed as a Speech-Language Pathologist in Pennsylvania, or license-eligible.
• ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP), or a Clinical Fellow working toward the CCC.
• Able to obtain all required Pennsylvania school clearances before your start date (see below).
• A skilled, warm communicator who is empathetic with children and families.
• Comfortable in both structured and flexible environments - you enjoy variety in your day.
• A collaborative professional who values teamwork, reflection, and fun.
• Clinical Fellows are encouraged to apply - mentorship and supervision are built into our culture.

Mandatory PA school clearances:

• Pennsylvania SLP license or Provisional license (PA Department of State).
• PA Department of Education certification for school-based SLPs (e.g., Educational Specialist – Speech and Language Impaired), if required by the school.
• PA State Police Criminal Record Check (Act 34).
