Job Description
Some of the most meaningful moments in speech-language therapy happen when young children discover new ways to communicate and connect with the world around them. A toddler using their first words or signs to express a need. A preschooler learning to share ideas, ask questions, and build friendships through conversation. A child using a communication device to express thoughts and feelings that were once difficult to share.
At ACCESS Early Childhood, those moments are what our work is all about.
We're looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who loves working with young children, sees the possibilities in every child, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the children and families they serve.
Our therapists work alongside early childhood educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping young children build the foundational skills they need to learn, play, grow, and thrive.
A rewarding career with room for life outside of work
We know that meaningful progress doesn't happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.
