Job Description

Speech-Language Pathologist - Pediatric & Developmental Focus

Location: Split between Scarborough and Oshawa/Bowmanville (based on client needs)
Schedule: Flexible - Part-Time or Full-Time

At Mount Etna Child & Family Services, we are more than a therapy clinic--we are a mission-driven, neurodiversity-affirming teaching centre rooted in relationship-based, naturalistic, and evidence-based care. We support autistic children and neurodivergent youth across home, school, and community environments, blending developmental and behavioural science with compassion, creativity, and cultural responsiveness.

As a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at Mount Etna, you will join a collaborative team of RBAs, supervised behaviour clinicians, CDAs, and occupational therapy partners. You'll have the opportunity to shape meaningful outcomes for children with diverse communication profiles, with access to programs such as Jolly Phonics, Hanen, AAC integration (e.g., LAMP/TouchChat), and Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Interventions (e.g., ESDM).

This role is ideal for an SLP who thrives in play-based, interdisciplinary, and family-centered work--and who values flexibility and creativity in helping children find their voice across real-world environments such as our sensory-friendly clinics, local parks, schools, and homes.

Your Responsibilities:

Conduct comprehensive speech, language, social communication, and feeding assessments using developmentally appropriate tools. Co-create meaningful, play-based, and functional treatment plans for preschool and school-age clients. Collaborate closely with caregivers, behaviour clinicians, CDAs, and teachers to support generalization and progress across environments. Provide caregiver coaching, in-the-moment modeling, and strength-based strategies that empower families. Supervise or co-treat with Communication Disorders Assistants (CDAs) in alignment with CASLPO standards. Document session data, progress, and recommendations within JaneApp in compliance with professional regulations. Participate in ongoing training and consultation in AAC, social communication, multilingual language development, and trauma-informed care.
