We are seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to join a specialized high school and transition program serving students with autism and complex communication needs.

  • Maintain appropriate documentation and meet all school and professional requirements
  • Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Smaller caseload: Approximately 20–25 students
  • Specialized setting: Work with students with complex autism and communication needs
  • AAC experience encouraged: Great opportunity to expand or utilize your AAC skills
  • Workload model: Caseloads are balanced based on student needs and overall workload
  • Collaborative environment: Work alongside a supportive multidisciplinary team
  • 35-hour workweek: Consistent school-based schedule
  • Professional support: Participate in professional development, team meetings, and receive access to necessary materials and technology
  • School-year schedule: Enjoy school breaks and summer off

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology
  • Active Delaware SLP license or able to obtain
  • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) required for licensed SLPs who have completed their CF
