This role focuses on providing essential therapy services to elementary-aged children, including those in preschool and with high Autism support needs. The positions begin in September and extend for a 12-week period, requiring over 35 hours each week.

You’ll be placed onsite at one of two welcoming elementary school settings—both offering a supportive environment and collaboration with educators and specialists.

• Valid NJ Speech-Language Specialist (SLS) Certification
• Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology
• Strong knowledge of Autism intervention, early childhood, and K-5 speech-language needs
• ASHA CCCs preferred; Clinical Fellows with independent supervision considered
• Excellent collaboration, communication, and documentation skills
• Previous school-based or pediatric SLP experience highly valued

Responsibilities:

• Deliver speech-language therapy to K-5 and preschool students, particularly those on the Autism spectrum
• Conduct screenings, evaluations, and ongoing assessments
• Develop and monitor individualized education program (IEP) goals
• Collaborate with teachers, families, and multidisciplinary teams to maximize student success
• Maintain thorough and timely records in compliance with state and district policies

This role is onsite only and provides the satisfaction of making a direct impact, enhancing students' communication skills during a pivotal time. Enjoy the professional fulfillment of supporting an engaging and inclusive education environment.
