What You’ll Be Doing

As a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, your day begins with connection. A peekaboo smile from a toddler hesitant to engage. A wave from a kindergartener who used to hide behind their parent. A confident “Hi!” from a teen who, just a few months ago, was too unsure to speak in a group.

In our clinic, your therapy space might include puzzles, puppets, flashcards, bubbles, and an ever-growing stash of sticker charts. You’ll shape your sessions around each child’s goals—and each family’s hopes. Whether helping a nonverbal child explore alternative communication or guiding a school-age student through social language scenarios, your work will stretch across age, ability, and personality.

You’ll collaborate closely with our pediatric occupational and physical therapists, trading notes, celebrating breakthroughs, and making plans to approach each child’s growth holistically. And you’ll never be alone. Our team values humor, empathy, curiosity, and creativity—and we bring all of that to the break room as much as the treatment room.

What makes our team special? It’s not just our clinical excellence. It’s our culture of support, laughter, and shared mission. We’re a community inside a community—cheering each other on, brainstorming treatment ideas, and covering each other when life outside of work gets hectic.

Our clinic is deeply embedded in Austin, not just geographically but relationally. We’ve built long-term partnerships with local schools and parent groups. We’ve hosted sidewalk chalk days and sensory-friendly holiday parties. We’re a local fixture—and proud of it.

You’ll join a group of professionals who love kids, love their work, and believe in creating a workplace that nurtures both. Whether you’re a new grad or seasoned SLP, you’ll find mentors, collaborators, and lifelong friends here.
