Their work is essential for individuals with conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, or ALS who have difficulty with verbal speech.

You will also collaborate closely with families, educators, occupational therapists, and other professionals to ensure cohesive support for each client. Documentation, training sessions for device users and caregivers, and adapting therapy plans based on individual progress are also common parts of the role. This dynamic work environment allows for meaningful interaction and ongoing learning as you help clients overcome complex communication challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AAC SLP, and why are they important?

To thrive as an AAC SLP (Augmentative and Alternative Communication Speech-Language Pathologist), you need a master's degree in speech-language pathology, licensure, and expertise in evaluating and treating communication disorders using AAC strategies. Technical proficiency with communication devices, AAC software, and assessment tools is crucial, and certification in AAC or assistive technology is often preferred.

Job description

Mission Statement Alignment
Solterra School exists to redefine education through holistic inclusion-blending Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), and integrated therapeutic supports within an eco-conscious environment that honors each learner's unique rhythm of growth.
The Speech-Language Pathologist advances this mission by strengthening student communication, connection, regulation, and functional independence-supporting learners in finding their voice, accessing learning, and building relational confidence across environments.
Position Summary
The Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) serves as an onsite clinical provider responsible for evaluating, treating, and supporting students with speech, language, communication, and feeding-related needs. This role is deeply integrated into Solterra's educational model, collaborating with teachers, behavior support staff, and other clinicians to ensure communication supports are embedded throughout the school day-not isolated to a therapy room.
The SLP delivers evidence-based intervention and contributes to multidisciplinary plans that support students with diverse learning profiles, including neurodivergent learners, students with complex communication needs, and students requiring augmentative/alternative communication (AAC). This position includes documentation fidelity and compliance readiness aligned with applicable clinical standards and payer requirements (as applicable).
Core Responsibilities
1. Assessment, Evaluation & Treatment Planning
  • Conduct comprehensive evaluations of speech, language, pragmatic communication, voice, fluency, and feeding/swallowing (as applicable and within scope)
  • Identify functional communication needs impacting learning, behavior, and social access
  • Develop individualized therapy plans aligned to student goals and classroom needs
  • Create measurable goals and progress monitoring systems that are appropriate, functional, and student-centered
  • Provide written clinical recommendations that are clear, professional, and actionable for school-based implementation
2. Direct Therapy Services (Individual + Group)
  • Deliver direct speech-language therapy services in individual and small-group formats
  • Support development of:
  • Receptive and expressive language
  • Functional communication (requesting, refusing, advocating, repairing breakdowns)
  • Pragmatic/social communication
  • Speech sound production and intelligibility
  • Executive functioning language supports (sequencing, organizing, retelling)
  • Provide interventions that are strengths-based, dignity-centered, and developmentally appropriate
  • Incorporate play, movement, and sensory-informed strategies to support engagement and regulation
3. AAC & Functional Communication Systems
  • Support students using AAC systems, including low-tech and high-tech communication tools
  • Collaborate with teams to ensure AAC is implemented consistently across settings (classroom, transitions, lunch, etc.)
  • Provide staff training and modeling to increase AAC access and reduce communication barriers
  • Support communication environments that promote autonomy and reduce frustration-driven behaviors
4. Feeding Support & Collaboration (As Applicable)
  • Screen and support feeding-related goals when appropriate to licensure/scope and school model
  • Collaborate with OT, nursing/health services, and families on safe feeding practices and related accommodations
  • Provide guidance for skill-building related to oral-motor development and functional feeding independence (if appropriate and within scope)
5. Classroom Integration & Interdisciplinary Collaboration
  • Collaborate closely with teachers and classroom teams to embed language support strategies into instruction
  • Partner with BCBA/behavior support staff to align communication goals with behavior reduction and skill acquisition plans
  • Provide practical, real-time strategies to staff to reduce communication breakdowns and support student participation
  • Support team-based planning for students with complex needs through coordinated intervention and shared goals
6. Documentation Fidelity & Compliance Readiness
  • Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation aligned with internal standards and external requirements (as applicable)
  • Complete therapy notes, progress summaries, treatment plans, and required reporting with high fidelity
  • Track student progress using clear, measurable data systems
  • Support authorization tracking and clinical documentation expectations for Medicaid/commercial payers (if applicable)
  • Maintain confidentiality and professional standards in all records, communication, and reporting
7. Family Partnership & Communication
  • Partner with families to support carryover of communication goals across settings
  • Provide professional and compassionate feedback regarding student progress, needs, and recommendations
  • Communicate therapy goals and strategies in clear, parent-friendly language
  • Participate in meetings as needed to support student planning and continuity of care
Qualifications
Required
  • Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an accredited program
  • Active (or eligible) Virginia licensure as a Speech-Language Pathologist
  • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) (preferred; CF candidates may be considered if supervision is available)
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate and support students with diverse communication needs
  • Strong communication skills, professionalism, and team collaboration capacity
  • Commitment to ethical, student-centered, dignity-based practice
Preferred
  • Experience in private day schools, special education settings, or integrated education-therapy models
  • Experience supporting neurodivergent learners and/or complex communication profiles
  • AAC experience and comfort training classroom teams on implementation
  • Familiarity with documentation systems, compliance readiness, and payer requirements (as applicable)
  • Experience collaborating with ABA teams and multidisciplinary clinical environments
Energetic & Leadership Fit
  • Calm, regulated clinical presence
  • Highly collaborative and classroom-integrated mindset
  • Strong documentation integrity and organization
  • Creative, student-centered clinician who sees communication as access
  • Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving systems
Key Collaborators
  • Chief Clinical Officer (CCO)
  • Executive Director
  • Teachers and Education Teams
  • BCBA / Behavior Support Team
  • Occupational Therapist (OT) (as applicable)
  • School Nurse / Health Services Coordinator
  • Families and Guardians
Metrics of Success
  • Demonstrated student progress toward functional communication goals
  • Increased communication access across classrooms and routines
  • Strong AAC consistency and staff implementation fidelity (where applicable)
