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
