JOB CHARACTERISTICS:
The AAC Specialist is a licensed SLP who provides specialized, regional, or district-wide support for students birth-21 with complex communication needs. This role focuses on the evaluation, selection, customization, and implementation of high- and low-tech communication systems.

  • System Customization & Deployment: Program, customize, and collaborate with LEA's to maintain high-tech speech-generating devices (e.g., eye-gaze systems, switches, iPad-based communication apps) and design robust low-tech/light-tech visual communication systems.
  • Coaching & Consultation: Provide direct, ongoing coaching and professional development to classroom teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents using adult-learning principles to ensure successful adoption and prevent device abandonment.
  • 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.
  • Inventory Management: Manage a district or ESD equipment loan library, tracking inventory, software licenses, and device deployment.
  • Regular travel between school buildings, community sites, or family homes across the district or ESD service boundary.

  • Perform duties in a manner reasonably expected and generally recognized by the profession.
  • Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the Supervisor, Director of Special Education, and Superintendent.

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).
  • Oregon State License issued by the Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology Board (SPAB).
  • Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) licensure or eligibility for an Oregon special education/clinical services credential.
