Our Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are licensed professionals dedicated to helping students develop and enhance their communication, language, and speech skills. They conduct comprehensive assessments, design and implement individualized therapy plans, and monitor student progress to ensure meaningful growth. In collaboration with educators, families, and support staff, our SLPs deliver high-quality, evidence-based services that align with each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and educational goals. SLPs also play a leadership role within the therapy team. They may provide supervision and mentorship to Speech-Language Pathologist Assistants (SLPAs) and Speech-Language Pathologist Interns, ensuring that all services are delivered ethically, effectively, and in compliance with state and federal regulations. Additionally, SLPs are responsible for documentation, progress reporting, and participation in Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) meetings as needed.

Our Speech-Language Pathologist Assistants (SLPAs) play a vital role in supporting students’ communication and language development. Under the supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), SLPAs provide direct speech therapy services as outlined in each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). SLPAs work hands-on with students to help improve their speech, language, and communication skills through engaging and individualized therapy sessions. They collect data on student progress, assist with documentation, and complete Medicaid billing as required. SLPAs also collaborate closely with their supervising SLP to implement therapy plans, prepare materials, and carry out other supportive tasks that enhance the effectiveness of speech and language services. Through their teamwork, dedication, and expertise, our SLPAs help ensure every student receives high-quality, consistent, and compassionate speech therapy services.

Our Educational Diagnosticians are essential members of the special education team, dedicated to supporting students’ academic and developmental success. They work collaboratively with teachers, parents, and school staff to identify students’ learning strengths and areas of need through comprehensive educational assessments. Educational Diagnosticians evaluate cognitive, academic, and processing skills to help determine eligibility for special education services and to guide the development of effective, individualized instructional plans. They play a key role in interpreting assessment data, writing detailed evaluation reports, and contributing to the creation and implementation of each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). In addition to conducting evaluations, Diagnosticians may be required to participate in Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) meetings to share evaluation results, collaborate with team members, and ensure that each student’s educational plan meets their unique needs. They also support compliance with state and federal regulations, assist with progress monitoring, and provide insight to help educators tailor instruction to meet diverse student needs.
