About The Position

The Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) provides diagnostic, therapeutic, and consultative services to support students with communication challenges. The SLP works collaboratively with educators, clinicians, and families to develop and implement individualized interventions that promote expressive and receptive language, social communication, and functional communication skills in alignment with each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). The Mill Pond Schools, with locations in Springfield and the Berkshires, serve students—kindergarten through age 22—who have social-emotional and/or behavioral challenges, a learning disability, or who may have a diagnosis of high-functioning Autism. We are committed to serving the whole child, including the child’s family. Our goal is to assist students in developing the skills necessary to successfully return to a less-restrictive environment, and, ultimately, to their previous school setting.
