Role and Responsibilities:

As a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) at our clinic, you will play a crucial role in helping children reach their full potential through therapeutic interventions and activities. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Conduct thorough assessments to evaluate speech, language, and communication abilities.

About Whole Child Therapy

Whole Child Therapy emerged from a vision shared by husband-and-wife occupational therapists Dennis and Ina Necesito, who recognized an opportunity to create something unique – a practice that truly sees and treats each child as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms.


Our Growth Story: Starting with just 700 square feet in Claremont in 2018, we've grown into a thriving practice with two locations, serving families through both outpatient clinics and school partnerships. Our commitment to holistic treatment and family-centered care has resonated throughout the community, leading to steady growth through five-star reviews and word-of-mouth referrals.


What Sets Us Apart:

  • Whole-Child Approach: Our neurodiversity-affirming philosophy builds on each child's unique strengths and addresses their needs within their complete life context, not just isolated therapy goals
  • Therapist-Owned & Operated: Led by clinicians who understand the profession and prioritize both exceptional client care and creating an environment where our team flourishes
  • Collaborative Environment: Our multidisciplinary team works together, fostering a culture of support and shared expertise
  • Dual Setting Options: Flexibility to work in our outpatient clinics or school-based settings
  • Proven Track Record: 500+ weekly clinic sessions plus extensive school partnerships demonstrate our community impact and stability
  • Our Services: We specialize in pediatric occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, assistive technology, AAC services, and social skills programs, partnering with school districts, charter schools, and non-public schools throughout the region.

Join Our Mission

We're seeking passionate SLPAs who share our commitment to seeing each child as a whole person and believe that meaningful therapy requires effectiveness, genuine care, and holistic understanding. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally, make a lasting difference in children's lives, and be part of a supportive team that values both clinical excellence and work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.

Ready to thrive with us? Apply today and become part of a practice where your professional growth matters as much as the children we serve together.
