  • Funding & Procurement: Collaborate with LEA to navigate both educational procurement and medical funding pathways (including Oregon Medicaid / OHP and private insurance) to secure dedicated communication devices for students.

QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Minimum of 2 3 years of experience specializing in AAC/AT evaluations and implementation, preferably within a K-12 public school setting.
  • Deep knowledge of motor access methodologies (e.g., eye gaze, head tracking, switch scanning) and language representation systems (e.g., core vocabulary, robust pragmatic organization dynamic displays).
  • Proven capability to write clear, concise, and legally defensible evaluation reports for IEP eligibility and medical funding.
  • Ability to obtain a valid First Aid/CPR card and a valid Oregon Driver's License for travel between school sites.

EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION:
  • Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology / Communication Disorders.
  • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred (Clinical Fellows with strong AAC backgrounds may be considered).
