Pediatric School-Based Speech Language Pathologist - Lees Summit, Missouri

Step into a rewarding role supporting students’ communication growth in a vibrant educational setting near Kansas City, MO. This contract opportunity, spanning from August 11, 2026, to May 28, 2027, is perfect for Speech-Language Pathologists eager to make an impact across two school sites—an elementary and a middle/high school. You’ll be working with a mixed caseload, focusing on K-5th grade at the elementary level (approximately 28 students), and providing services to about 15 middle/high schoolers. All direct communication with students is in English.

• Strong experience in school-based or pediatric settings.
• Comfortable working with diverse, mixed caseloads.
• Excellent rapport-building and communication skills.

• Assess, develop, and implement IEP goals and individualized treatment plans.
• Collaborate with educators, including English-speaking SPED teachers, and contribute valuable input during team meetings.
• Maintain thorough and timely documentation of student progress.
• Serve both in-person and, if needed, via teletherapy platforms.
