The School-Based Speech-Language Pathologist supports students in reaching their full potential within the educational environment by addressing communication and related challenges that affect their ability to participate in school activities. Working as part of the school team, the speech-language pathologist evaluates students' articulation, language, fluency, voice, social communication, and feeding or swallowing skills to determine how these areas impact learning and daily school routines. Based on these evaluations, the therapist develops and implements individualized intervention plans designed to help students access the curriculum, build communication skills, and engage successfully with their peers and classroom tasks.

In this role, the speech-language pathologist collaborates closely with teachers, parents, administrators, and other support staff to integrate communication strategies into the classroom and across the school day. They participate in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, contribute to the development of student goals, and provide recommendations for accommodations, modifications, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) when appropriate. The therapist also documents progress, maintains accurate records, and ensures that services are delivered in compliance with relevant state and federal regulations.

The ideal candidate holds the appropriate state licensure and certification as a speech-language pathologist, including ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) where required, demonstrates strong communication and teamwork skills, and is passionate about helping children succeed. Experience working with school-aged children and knowledge of educational systems are preferred. This position requires patience, creativity, and a commitment to supporting the diverse needs of students so they can thrive both academically and socially.
