Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

Polish-Speaking Preferred | Full-Time & Part-Time

Happyian Therapy & Academy is growing! We are looking for a high-energy, hands-on Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to join our collaborative pediatric team and help us build something exciting.

We are especially interested in a Polish-speaking SLP, but Polish fluency is a plus, not a requirement.

This is NOT a sit-at-the-table-all-day role.

We are looking for a clinician who wants to get involved, think outside the box, build programs, lead social groups, participate in community outings, and create meaningful therapy experiences for children and families.

If you're energetic, creative, ambitious, and excited about growing a speech department, we want to meet you!

Collaborate closely with our ABA team and interdisciplinary providers
