Why Join Aveanna Education Services? Want to make a difference? So do we We believe that everyone is capable of growth and development, and if people are not growing and developing, it’s because they haven’t been given the proper support (yet). That’s where we come in We are here to help each person with whom we work grow, develop, and become a little bit better today than they were yesterday. Apply your skills as an SLP in a public-school setting and begin making a difference in the lives of students with special needs.

Position Summary : The Speech Language Pathologist is responsible for delivering direct therapy to students receiving special education services with a primary or secondary disability of “speech or language impairment.” Work individually with students 1-2 times a week in pull-out, and/or push-in sessions, hold small-group sessions with students working on similar goals, and consult with teachers on behalf of other students 1-2 times a month.

School districts vary with respect to requiring SLPs to complete speech and related evaluations. SLPs must collaborate with teachers, parents, and other professionals to gain an understanding of students’ strengths, interests, and needs with respect to speech and language services. Depending upon the school district, SLPs should be able to utilize a variety of evaluation tools to assess students’ speech or language needs and help determine if they are eligible for special education services. SLPs will propose relevant IEP goals to students’ interdisciplinary teams and work throughout the year to help students achieve their goals. SLPs will need to collect and summarize data on students’ progress, and draft progress reports as per district schedules.

In addition to collaborating with teachers and parents, SLPs will need to work closely with other professionals such as school psychologists, behavior analysts, and mental health therapists. SLPs will often need to support students’ use of high, and low-tech AAC systems. Relatedly, experience with the SETT framework is desirable, as SLPs will often serve as a primary resource for SETT evaluators.

Experience with RTI and MTSS is desirable, as schools place high value on the insights SLPs can offer child study teams.

Experience with or the ability to develop and coordinate therapy schedules to ensure students receive all services identified in their IEPs is essential.

Experience with feeding and swallowing evaluations and interventions is a bonus.
