New grad or experienced Speech Pathologist - Learning and LiteracyThe Learning and Literacy Clinic is seeking a new graduate or experienced Speech Pathologist. Role details:
Full time or part-time.Days and hours negotiable.Caseload focuses on conditions affecting learning (e.g. dyslexia, DLD, ADHD, ID etc), but there is some conventional paediatric work as well.The role is available for immediate or delayed start.This role is perfect for those Speech Pathologists interested in language and literacy skills, particularly for school-aged clients. There are few clinics that focus primarily on learning disorders, and even fewer that also include university students and adults in their caseload for that demographic. While you will of course have the opportunity to work directly with common language/literacy disorders (i.e. dyslexia, dysgraphia, DLD), you will also view conditions such as ADHD and ASD through the unique lens of how they impact learning, and the comorbid communication and academic difficulties that come with them. Furthermore, compared to school-based roles with similar populations, private practice allows for greater therapeutic intensity; leading to genuine progress.
Primary client types and services: Children aged 3-18 years, as well as university students and adults (often working professionals).Conventional paediatric services (speech, language, literacy, ASD).Assessment, intervention, report writing.Example of therapies we provide: Literacy interventions (e.g. systematic synthetic phonics, paragraph/text structure interventions, narrative etc).Language interventions (e.g. vocab instruction, spoken syntax/grammar, narrative programs etc).ASD (neurodiversity affirming practice, social/emotional language, making friends, interpersonal problem solving etc).Location and hours: You will be based at our clinic in Thornlands. Occasionally some telehealth or travel (e.g. school visits) is required.Days and hours can be negotiated (e.g. early start/finish, different start/finish times on different days of the week).Ideal applicant: New graduates with an interest in literacy and language skills
