YES Prep needs a dynamic Speech-Language Pathologist with a robust set of experiences, to make our mission a reality. As a YES Prep employee, you will achieve jaw-dropping results, create pathways to opportunity for our students, and build transformative relationships.

To put it simply, you will work to support the communication needs of students identified with speech impairment by completing full and individual evaluations for students. These evaluations will determine initial or continued eligibility for speech and language therapy services. You will also provide direct therapy to a small caseload of students based on your clinical interests; and convey clear and concise updates regarding student progress towards speech goals to staff and families during ARD meetings.

Speech-language pathologists who meet the required credentials may also have the opportunity to mentor and supervise SLP-Assistants, graduate students, or clinical fellows. The speech language pathology team is expanding due to the continued growth of our schools and student population, and the speech-language pathologist will join an enthusiastic, supportive and collaborative team.
