Make a Direct Impact Where It Matters Most

Spotter is seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to support students in a therapeutic day school setting during ESY. This is a high-impact, relationship-driven role working with students who require more individualized, behavioral, and emotional support than traditional school environments provide.

You’ll work with a small caseload (approximately 12 students, K–12) in a setting designed for students with:

• Emotional Disabilities (ED) – requiring strong relationship-building and regulation support
• Other Health Impairments (OHI) – including ADHD and related challenges impacting communication and focus
• Autism (limited cases) – primarily higher-functioning students needing social communication support

These students benefit most from consistent, face-to-face support, structure, and therapists who can adapt in real time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver speech-language therapy aligned to IEP goals
• Provide a mix of:
  • Push-in support within classrooms
  • Pull-out sessions for targeted intervention
• Focus areas include:
  • Articulation therapy (primarily 1:1)
  • Expressive & receptive language (often in pairs/small groups)
• Run small group sessions (~30 minutes)
• Collaborate closely with special education staff and multidisciplinary team
• Document services and progress using Embrace IEP system
• Adjust to ESY attendance variability (not all students attend consistently)

Schedule Details

• Program Dates: June 1 – June 29 (No school June 19)
• School Hours: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM (dismissal ~2:00 PM)
• Flexible SLP schedule within program hours
• 2–3 days per week (2-day minimum)
• Total: 15 hours per week

What You Bring

• Illinois SLP License
• PEL with SLP endorsement (or eligibility)
• Experience with school-aged students (therapeutic or special ed preferred)
• Ability to work independently while staying aligned with a team
• Strong adaptability—this environment requires it
