About the role

SPGCT is seeking an exceptional, highly experienced Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) to join our pediatric team.

Responsibilities

• Efficiently collect accurate therapy data while maintaining engagement and therapeutic momentum.

• Creatively utilize a wide variety of therapy materials and activities across multiple ages, diagnoses, and treatment objectives rather than relying on a single approach.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of typical child communication development and recognize that communication skills develop in a sequential hierarchy, with each skill building upon foundational prerequisite abilities.
• Adapt intervention strategies based on each child's learning style, sensory profile, motivation, and communication level.
• Work collaboratively with supervising SLPs, families, and interdisciplinary team members to ensure high-quality, individualized care.
• Maintain excellent organization, professionalism, and clinical documentation while delivering engaging, evidence-based therapy.

Requirements

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills.
