Speech-Language Pathologist
The May Center School for Autism and Developmental Disabilities in Western Massachusetts is currently accepting resumes for full-time Speech-Language Pathologists at our West Springfield and Chicopee campuses to provide speech consultation services to students. We are excited to serve more students in western mass with the grand opening of our chicopee campus this summer!
We provide full-day, year-round educational and vocational services for children and adolescents from preschool to age 22, using proven methods of treatment and teaching based on the latest clinical and applied research.
What sets us apart:
- Small caseload typically no more than 30 students
- Dedicated time for each student's individualized needs instead of the pressure of providing group speech services to students that may not benefit equally from a group lesson format
- Speech services as consult instead of direct which allows flexibility for the specialist to spend time on what the student needs most each week. This can include, but is not limited to, working with the student, observing speech programs being run by staff, training staff, probing new skills, writing speech programs or goals and conducting assessments.
- Writing and training staff on speech programs so your programs can be run throughout the week allowing students to receive lots of practice
- Accurate and reliable data taken on your programs by staff so you can review progress easily
- An environment of collaboration and support between all team members to best support the students we serve
- Access to resources for professional development training as well as speech-language program materials
- Flexible start date summer 2022 or beginning of new school year
For six decades, May Institute has set the national standard for providing comprehensive, research-based services to children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, brain injury and mental illness.
