Your Role:
You will work directly with students under the direction and supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to support communication skills that strengthen learning, relationships, and independence.

- Supporting students who use AAC and alternative communication systems as directed by the SLP.
- Collecting student performance data and maintaining required service documentation.
- Helping students generalize communication skills across classroom, social, and school activities.
- Collaborating with SLPs, teachers, behavior specialists, paraprofessionals, and other members of the student’s educational team.
- Participating in IEP and educational team meetings as appropriate, with an SLP present.
- Preparing therapy materials and supporting communication strategies throughout the school environment.
What We’re Looking For:

- A collaborative interdisciplinary team.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
