• Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application) Experience across multiple clinical settings, such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, early intervention, or private practice, or with assessment tools and telepractice platforms Bilingual or multilingual clinical experience, specialty certification (e.g., board certification in child language or swallowing), or involvement in clinical research
• Required for all applicants Must have US work authorization Strong written communication and attention to detail Ability to explain complex speech, language, and swallowing concepts clearly Do not share patient health information or identifiable patient data Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
