Speech Language Pathologist in Cottage Grove, OR

Make a meaningful impact supporting students with diverse learning needs as a contract Speech-Language Pathologist at two engaging school campuses. In this role, you will divide your time between a high-needs campus focused on special education and a school dedicated to social communication skills. You’ll play a pivotal role working with approximately 33 students, primarily within life skills programs across two high schools and one elementary site, from early September through mid-June.

Candidates with experience in feeding and swallowing (safe eating) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) are highly preferred, though supportive training is available for motivated professionals. You’ll collaborate with a wider SLP team remotely and enjoy strong in-person support from special education teachers, paraprofessionals, and other classroom aides while managing your caseload independently.

Key Qualifications:

• Valid state licensure and ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in Speech-Language Pathology
• Background in school-based SLP services, preferably with experience in life skills programming
• Knowledge or interest in feeding/swallowing strategies and AAC (training provided if needed)
• Ability to work autonomously as well as part of an interdisciplinary support network
• Strong communication, organization, and adaptability skills

Core Responsibilities:

• Conduct assessments and deliver direct SLP services for students with moderate to severe disabilities
• Develop, implement, and monitor IEP goals related to speech, language, feeding, and communication
• Provide safe eating instruction and assistive communication solutions as appropriate
• Collaborate virtually and in-person with a dynamic team of SLPs, special educators, and para-support staff
• Maintain thorough progress documentation and participate in monthly team meetings

Throughout the school year, your work will help create meaningful opportunities for students to connect, learn, and thrive. If you are passionate about supporting inclusive education and wish to make a tangible difference, apply now to embark on a rewarding journey in school-based speech therapy!
