Job Description

MTS is seeking a passionate and dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) for a full-time, school-based contract position in Spartanburg, SC for the 2026–2027 school year. This role supports a specialized, multi-district educational program serving students with significant support needs.

This is a unique opportunity to work in a highly collaborative and supportive environment with students who have complex communication needs and benefit from individualized, multimodal communication approaches, including AAC.

Student Population Includes

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Intellectual Disabilities
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Rett Syndrome
  • Other significant developmental and medical diagnoses

Why This Position Stands Out

  • Collaborative team of experienced SLPs
  • Access to a multidisciplinary team including OTs, PTs, TVIs, and BCBAs
  • SLPs are not case managers, allowing you to focus on therapy
  • 3:1 service delivery model to support workload balance
  • No travel required
  • No additional school duties (no bus, lunch, or recess duty)
  • Supportive environment for developing AAC skills (experience preferred but not required)

Ideal Candidate

  • Holds a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology
  • Has South Carolina SLP licensure
  • Passionate about working with students with complex communication needs
  • Open to learning and growing in AAC and multidisciplinary collaboration
