SLP researchers often encounter challenges such as recruiting a sufficient number of participants, ensuring compliance with ethical standards, and managing large sets of data. Additionally, balancing research responsibilities with possible clinical or teaching duties can be demanding.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an SLP (Speech-Language Pathology) Researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as an SLP Researcher, you need a solid background in speech-language pathology, research methodology, and data analysis, typically supported by an advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in communication sciences or a related field. Familiarity with statistical software (such as SPSS or R), research databases, and ethical research protocols is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective written and verbal communication skills help distinguish top professionals in this role. These competencies ensure accurate research findings, contribute to scientific advancement, and support evidence-based clinical practices in speech-language pathology.

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) - ExcelPrep, San Antonio, TX
Mission-driven opportunity focusing on communication, language, and social learning within a private program for neurodiverse children. On-site in San Antonio, Texas.
About ExcelPrep
ExcelPrep is a mission-driven private program serving neurodiverse children through structured, research-based instruction. Our mission is simple: improve the academic and social success of neurodiverse learners. We deliver high-quality academic and therapeutic programming that supports meaningful learning outcomes.
ExcelPrep offers two distinct programs for learners ages 3-13:
  • PreK-8 Academic Program: Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching for core academics (reading, writing, math) in a structured, data-driven environment.

  • Clinical ABA Program (Ages 3-13): Cognition-linguistically based ABA focusing on language, reasoning, executive functioning, social competence, and independence.

Across ExcelPrep, we center:
  • Direct Instruction and instructional design

  • Precision Teaching and data-based decision making

  • Behavior science research foundations

  • Occupational Therapy as a prioritized therapy alongside ABA for sensory-motor development

Our mission is to provide a nurturing, academically focused learning environment where neurodiverse students develop strong academic foundations, cognitive-linguistic skills, and the confidence to succeed in school and beyond.
The Role: Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)
We're seeking a dedicated, collaborative SLP to provide high-quality speech-language therapy in a school-based setting. You will work closely with ABA therapists, OTs, teachers, and program leaders to support communication development, social communication, and language skills that enable meaningful learning.
Key focus areas:
  • Deliver individualized and group SLP services to neurodiverse children within ExcelPrep programs

  • Conduct comprehensive speech-language assessments; develop and implement evidence-based treatment plans

  • Support articulation/phonology, language comprehension and expression, pragmatics, voice, fluency, and AAC

  • Collaborate with families, educators, and ABA/OT staff; participate in progress reports and IEP/504 processes (as applicable)

  • Data-driven progress monitoring; adjust interventions based on data; contribute to measurable outcomes

  • Provide coaching and resources to staff on strategies to support communication in the classroom and home environments

Responsibilities
  • Administer formal and informal speech-language evaluations; develop individualized treatment plans

  • Provide direct therapy (individual and small-group) and consultative services; tailor activities for neurodiverse learners

  • Align SLP goals with ExcelPrep's Direct Instruction, Precision Teaching, and ABA goals

  • Track progress with data collection; analyze and report outcomes; maintain thorough documentation

  • Support AAC implementation and use across settings; train families and staff on AAC systems

  • Collaborate with families and school teams to design accessible, inclusive learning environments

  • Participate in IEP/504 planning meetings and professional development opportunities

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and school policies

Qualifications
  • Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in Texas; CCC-SLP preferred (CFY accepted)

  • Pediatric experience, preferably with neurodiverse populations

  • Knowledge of AAC, articulation/phonology, language development, pragmatics, voice, and fluency

  • Familiarity with data-driven decision making and progress reporting

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; ability to work with families, teachers, and ABA/OT staff

  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) or experience serving Spanish-speaking families is a plus

  • Commitment to ExcelPrep's mission and a passion for meaningful learning outcomes

Schedule, Location, and Benefits
  • Location: San Antonio, TX

  • Schedule: Full-time; typical school-day hours with potential for after-hours collaboration or planning

  • On-site role with opportunities for cross-campus collaboration as applicable

  • Benefits: Competitive compensation; comprehensive benefits package; professional development opportunities; supportive, mission-driven culture

Note: Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
