What are the responsibilities and job description for the School-Based Speech Language Pathologist | South Bend, Indiana position at Soliant?
Make a positive impact supporting students across a diverse educational environment near South Bend, IN! This contract opportunity is ideal for a skilled Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP-CCC) or a capable SLPA (for on-site roles) who thrives in school-based settings and is passionate about helping PreK-8th grade students achieve their communication goals.
You'll provide vital speech and language services in one 5th-8th grade building (caseload around 35 students) as well as several private school locations serving Preschool through 8th grade.

These settings focus largely on traditional speech and language needs; AAC device usage is minimal, with the middle school and private schools not having specialized programs for such devices.

- Experience in school-based or pediatric environments strongly preferred

Responsibilities:
- Assess and treat students with speech, language, and communication needs within assigned caseloads
