What are the responsibilities and job description for the Speech Language Pathologist position at Sayit, inc?
This role has two parts, in order of priority:
- SLPA Supervision (primary function). You are fully responsible for all clinical services delivered by our SLPA(s) — supervision, documentation compliance, outcomes, and family communication once treatment begins.
- Evaluations, as needed. When evaluation capacity is needed, you'll complete the full evaluation package (intake review through report writing) for assigned cases. This is a secondary, as-assigned function — not the core of the role.
- Own all SLPA clinical outcomes; make independent clinical decisions within your role without deferring routine matters upward
- Provide Direct Supervision at the legally required minimum — 20% of the SLPA's clinical contact time during their first 90 days, 10% after, per Connecticut law and ASHA standards
- Provide Indirect Supervision that is clinically evaluative: documentation review and co-signing, clinical coaching, data analysis, treatment plan adjustments
- Be reachable for real-time consultation during all SLPA sessions
- Manage family communication once a case moves into active treatment
Scheduling, intake, insurance verification/authorization tracking, and general office operations. You are not a middle layer escalating routine issues — decisions within your scope stay with you.
Evaluations — when assigned- Complete the full evaluation package: intake review, assessment selection, direct evaluation, scoring/interpretation, report writing, ICD-10 and medical necessity documentation, and handoff to admin
- Standard 5-business-day report turnaround
- Compensated separately from your supervisory base, per Sayit's Approved Evaluation Payment Table (varies by payer — insurance-billed evaluations and private-pay evaluations are priced differently to reflect what each actually generates for the practice)
- CT-licensed SLP (CCC-SLP)
- Comfortable and confident functioning as a supervisor of record — this role carries real legal and clinical liability for SLPA-delivered care, not just mentorship
- Bilingual Spanish-English strongly preferred
- Pediatric outpatient and/or Birth-to-Three evaluation experience
- A genuinely neurodiversity-affirming clinical philosophy — we screen for real alignment here, not just familiarity with the language
- Comfortable with a dual-function role: steady supervisory rhythm most of the time, evaluation work when the caseload calls for it
