Speech-Language Pathologist

Full-Time | $55,000–$68,000/year | School-Based | Comprehensive Benefits

Being an SLP means improving communication and quality of life, but where and how you do that work matters. If you’re exploring opportunities, here are some important questions to ask (and how Crossroads thoughtfully answers them).

Is This a Mission-Driven Role or a Productivity-Driven One?

At Crossroads Center for Children, our work is grounded in purpose. We are a not-for-profit, school-based program serving children ages 2–10 using a behaviorally based educational model rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

We do not operate on a high-volume, productivity-pressured clinic model. Instead, our focus is on meaningful outcomes for students, collaborative decision-making, and ethical, thoughtful service delivery. Speech therapy here is integrated into the school day and aligned with each student’s educational and functional goals.

Will I Be Part of a True Team?

Yes and that’s one of the most frequently cited reasons SLPs love working here.

As an SLP at Crossroads, you’ll collaborate daily with:

Special Education Teachers

Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs)

Occupational Therapists

Physical Therapists

Teaching Assistants

You’ll also be part of a team of speech-language pathologists, allowing for consultation, shared problem-solving, and professional support. Collaboration isn’t an afterthought here, it’s built into the structure of the day.

Is There a Healthy Work–Life Balance?

School-based work should feel like school-based work.

At Crossroads:

Your schedule follows the school calendar, including a six-week summer program

Work hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

No evenings, weekends, or productivity quotas

Paid time off aligned with school breaks

This role is designed to be sustainable, predictable, and family-friendly.

What Will My Clinical Work Look Like?

SLPs at Crossroads provide therapy that is practical, collaborative, and student-centered. Responsibilities include:

Providing speech-language therapy in individual and small-group formats (push-in and pull-out)

Collaborating closely with teachers and BCBAs to support effective intervention
