Speech Language Pathologist – Katherine Hamm Center

Start Date: August 2025

The Atlanta Speech School provides an unmatched opportunity to learn from peers and experts in the field. Beyond seeking proficiency, we work to construct a Deep Reading Brain for each child. Deep reading requires learning to make connections between what we read and what we think, feel, and do. Through deep reading, children develop empathy, hone critical thinking, and go on to make the greatest possible difference in the lives of others.

Founded over 86 years ago, the Atlanta Speech School has evolved into four school divisions, clinical programs, and the Rollins Center for Language & Literacy (our professional development program) with Rollins’ free online Cox Campus. Across all of our programs, we are committed to equity and driven to ensure each child can find their voice. We do this through our mission, to help each person develop their full potential through language and literacy, and extend our mission through our vision of literacy and justice for all.

As the educational equivalent of a teaching hospital, we lead change through the extension of our work—what occurs in the classroom for each child at the Atlanta Speech School is extended to every child through our free online learning platform, Cox Campus. Cox Campus’ membership is composed of more than 270,000 educators, leaders, healthcare professionals, and parents representing all fifty states and 100 countries.

The School attracts a staff of the most gifted and committed teaching professionals across all its programs. They apply the research of the nation’s leading brain development and educational experts to achieve transformational language and literacy outcomes for children, not as an end goal but as their starting point in deciding their own future.

Our focus on language and literacy is through the construction of the Deep Reading Brain. This means that:

• We believe in connection over compliance. Rather than silencing children, we teach them to listen, think, question, and solve.
• Our staff works together to know and serve each child within an intentional learning ecosystem that is as joyful as it is rigorous.
• Our practices are grounded in structured literacy and built on the sciences of healthy brain development, language acquisition, and the construction of the Deep Reading Brain. This work is intentionally centered around critical thinking, empathy, problem-solving, and the development of executive functioning.

We are committed to providing an environment in which all our students, families, and staff show up safely as themselves. As stewards of this environment, our responsibility is to ensure that safety extends to everyone, regardless of race/ethnicity, religion, gender, family structure, sexual orientation, and any other aspect of their identity.

The School has never turned away a child needing services based on his or her family’s financial circumstances.

PROGRAM SUMMARY:

The Katherine Hamm Center is a program for individuals from birth through 99 who are deaf/hard of hearing and on the path to literacy through listening and spoken language. Children enrolled in the Katherine Hamm Center have access to all sounds of speech through listening technology, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants. The Katherine Hamm Center serves children through its preschool program (14 months- PreK) and Auditory-Verbal Therapy (children of all ages). The Katherine Hamm Center partners with adults post-lingually deafened through Aural Rehabilitation. Auditory-Verbal Therapy and Aural Rehabilitation are offered both in person and virtually.

The therapist is responsible for evaluating the language and articulation of preschool-age children, identifying articulation goals for each student, providing therapy to reach these goals, and reporting on progress toward these goals.

The therapist will collaborate with a team of professionals (Parents, Teachers, OTs, SLPs, Preschool Counselors, Director, Curriculum Specialist, Educational Audiologists, Managing Audiologist, and other outside therapists (when applicable)) to create the optimal learning experience for each child.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Plan and implement individual therapy sessions for preschool-aged children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, with particular emphasis given to facilitating speech and aural habilitation/phonetic listening skills
• Conduct comprehensive speech and language evaluations and generate written reports biannually for each student
• Attend and present progress and goals at parent conferences
• Work collaboratively with teachers of the deaf, audiologists, psychologists, and occupational therapists to ensure exemplary services are provided for each child.
• Maintain an effective communication system with parents, colleagues, and outside personnel regarding children’s development.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Georgia certification or eligible for certification
