Willow Academy is looking for a Speech Language Pathologist to support our students' communication needs while working in a supportive, structured school setting. Willow Academy is a brand-new, ground-up program that merges the best qualities of ABA services with the collaborative atmosphere of a school environment designed for students with complex learning and behavioral needs. You’ll serve students with diverse communication profiles in a year-round, specialized school setting and receive enhanced training to ensure you are fully equipped and supported in this role. You’ll collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team including educators, BCBAs, and mental health professionals, to help students build meaningful communication skills that promote learning, connection, and independence.

Why join the Willow ABA team?

At Willow ABA, we believe every employee should feel secure, significant, and accepted. That’s especially important in a school-based role where your day-to-day impact is immediate and profound. We know ABA work can be complex, especially in a classroom setting with intensive needs, so we never expect you to do it alone. You’ll be backed by a highly collaborative team, receive enhanced safety care training, and be continuously supported by our experienced BCBAs, Clinical Director, and Chief Clinical Quality Assurance Officer (BCBA). We embrace your differences and strengths. And we don’t want this to feel like “just a job.” We want to help you grow, find your purpose, and do work you’re proud of.

How we invest in our staff:

• Specialized and enhanced training that focuses on trauma-sensitive care.
• Ongoing professional development, trainings, and opportunities to refine clinical skills.
• Interdisciplinary team collaboration across behavioral, educational, and therapeutic domains.
• A supportive team culture rooted in collaboration, support, and compassion.

As a School-Based Speech Language Pathologist at Willow Academy, you’ll provide speech and language therapy services to students with communication, social, and developmental challenges. You’ll conduct assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver direct and consultative services to support each student’s unique goals. You’ll play a key role in helping students find their voices, literally and figuratively, while supporting their social-emotional and academic growth throughout the school day.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct comprehensive speech, language, and communication assessments.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans aligned with each student’s IEP goals.
• Provide direct and consultative speech therapy services in both individual and small group formats.
• Collaborate closely with BCBAs, RBTs, multidisciplinary teams, and other support staff.
• Collect and analyze data to monitor progress and adjust interventions as needed.
• Contribute to IEP development and attend IEP meetings.
• Maintain a professional, compassionate, and trauma-sensitive approach.
• Participate in staff meetings, trainings, and ongoing professional development.

What we’re looking for:

• Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology required.
• Current Colorado state licensure and CCC-SLP (or CFY with appropriate supervision).
• Experience or interest in working with students with autism or complex communication needs.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• A compassionate, flexible, and team-oriented mindset.
• Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM availability.

Benefits:

• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Short & long-term disability
• AD&D Life insurance
• 401(k) with employer matching 
• Flexible Spending & Health Savings Accounts
• 3 weeks of Paid Time Off 
• Parental Leave through state-funded program
• Ongoing professional development and growth opportunities

Pay Rate: $75,000-$90,000 annually, depending on education, experience, and certification status
