About the Position

Family Solutions is seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist – Clinical Fellow (SLP-CF) or Certificate of Clinical Competence (SLP-CCC) to join our growing pediatric team in Lafayette, Louisiana.

This position is based within our established Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic and provides the opportunity to work with children receiving ABA and other pediatric services. Our patient population primarily includes children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, and a variety of speech, language, and communication needs.

Our speech caseload is actively growing and currently supports approximately 20 hours per week, with new evaluations and referrals continuing to come in. This is an excellent opportunity for an SLP who wants the flexibility to begin with a part-time caseload while having the opportunity to grow toward full-time hours.

We are open to PRN, part-time, full-time, or contract arrangements depending on the candidate's availability and professional goals.

What You'll Do

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, you will provide comprehensive speech-language services while working collaboratively with our pediatric and ABA teams.

Responsibilities include:

• Conduct comprehensive speech and language evaluations and re-evaluations for pediatric patients.
• Develop individualized treatment plans based on each child's communication needs, abilities, and goals.
• Establish realistic and measurable short- and long-term treatment goals.
• Provide evidence-based speech and language therapy to children with autism, developmental disabilities, and other communication needs.
• Address areas that may include receptive and expressive language, articulation, social communication, AAC, and functional communication.
• Adapt treatment techniques based on each child's developmental level, abilities, interests, and individual needs.
• Monitor patient progress and modify treatment plans and goals based on clinical findings.
• Provide education and guidance to parents and caregivers to support communication and functional skills outside of therapy.
• Complete evaluations, progress documentation, re-evaluations, daily treatment notes, and discharge documentation accurately and within required timelines.
• Maintain clear, accurate, and timely documentation within the organization's electronic health record.
• Coordinate patient care with other members of the interdisciplinary treatment team.
• Make appropriate referrals to other therapists or healthcare professionals when necessary.
• Maintain patient confidentiality in accordance with HIPAA requirements.
• Maintain knowledge of current professional standards of practice.
• Participate in quality improvement, staff development, and other clinical activities as appropriate.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Our SLPs work within an interdisciplinary pediatric environment. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with:

• BCBAs and ABA clinical leadership
• Behavior technicians and line technicians
• Other pediatric therapy professionals
• Parents and caregivers
• Other members of the child's healthcare and treatment team

The SLP will work collaboratively with the interdisciplinary team to promote consistency between speech-language goals and the child's broader treatment program.

We're looking for someone who can be independent and collaborative at the same time—comfortable managing their clinical responsibilities while actively communicating and coordinating with the rest of the treatment team.

Supervision Opportunities

Depending on experience, credentials, and program needs, qualified SLPs may have opportunities to provide appropriate clinical supervision to:

• Speech-Language Pathology Assistants
• SLP interns or students
• Other eligible speech-language pathology trainees

Any supervision responsibilities will be assigned in accordance with applicable licensing, certification, and professional requirements.

QualificationsRequired

• SLP-CF or SLP-CCC.
• Current Louisiana Speech-Language Pathology license or eligibility to obtain the appropriate Louisiana license.
• Ability to maintain all required state and professional licenses, credentials, and certifications.
• CPR certification or ability to obtain certification within 30 days of hire.
• Ability to maintain professional liability insurance as required.

Preferred

• Experience providing speech-language services to children.
• Experience working with children with autism spectrum disorder or developmental disabilities.
• Experience working in an ABA, multidisciplinary pediatric, outpatient, or similar clinical setting.
• Experience with AAC and functional communication interventions.

• Enjoys working with children and families.
• Has an interest in serving children with autism and developmental disabilities.

• Takes pride in thorough, accurate, and timely clinical documentation.
• Is dependable, professional, and patient-focused.
• Is interested in helping develop and grow speech services within an expanding pediatric program.

We understand that flexibility is important. We are willing to work with the right SLP to create a schedule that meets both the clinician's availability and the needs of our patients.

Depending on availability and professional goals, this opportunity may be structured as:

• PRN
