Speech Language Pathologist SLP EIDBI Provider
About The Position
Empower Learning is an ABA and early intervention center in Eagan, Minnesota, serving children and families through Minnesota's EIDBI program. Our team of BCBAs, social workers, and behavior professionals builds individualized, play based programming that helps young children communicate, connect, and grow. We are a close knit clinic that takes documentation, supervision, and family partnership seriously, and we are growing. We are looking for a licensed Speech Language Pathologist to join our clinical team in a role with real room to grow. You will start as an EIDBI provider, working hands on with our learners on communication, language, and social skills inside our existing program. As Empower stands up its own in house speech therapy line, your license anchors that launch and your role grows into a hybrid EIDBI plus speech therapy position, with pay stepping up to $55 per hour. If you want to help shape a speech program from the ground up rather than slot into one that already exists, this is that opportunity.
