Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist
The Kidz Club PPEC, St. Petersburg, Florida, United States, 33739
Overview
Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at TKC Therapy. TKC Therapy provides high-quality and intensive PT, OT, and ST services to children attending The Kidz Club (TKC), a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center. PPEC centers provide daily skilled nursing care to medically-complex children, ages birth to under 21. For more information, visit the TKC Therapy website. Our Expectations
As an SLP at this facility, we strongly prefer experience in pediatric feeding and/or high- and low-tech AAC, as this makes up a large portion of the caseload. The caseload also heavily includes early intervention, play-based therapy. The children range from NICU-discharged infants to young adults in wheelchairs; you must be comfortable treating this wide range. The facility emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration; you must be able to work with other therapists and staff (PT, OT, ABA, nurses, caregivers) and be comfortable with basic medical terminology and processes. The setting includes medically-complex children, some with behavior issues; you must be confident in therapeutic intervention for unique cases and able to manage disruptive behaviors. This is a fee-for-service role with schedule flexibility, but requires hard work, self-motivation, and strong time management. We value an easy-going personality, adaptability, and a passion for helping children with special needs. Regarding CF applicants: we are not accepting clinical fellows at this time unless most recent externship was in pediatric hospital or PPEC; a reference call with externship supervisor will be required as part of the interview process.
