About The Position

HeartShare offers an unpaid clinical fieldwork placement for a Speech Language Pathology student. The placement is designed to provide a productive semester and maximize the student’s learning experience. Students work with children, typically in classrooms, and may ask questions, prepare materials, and complete paperwork before or after service hours. Team meetings may take place from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m.; students may be invited to participate when one of their students is being discussed.

Students plan and deliver speech-language pathology treatment sessions, track student progress, and prepare clinical documentation. They are responsible for writing a formal lesson plan for one child from each caseload, entering session notes into the EasyTrac online system through the placement’s process, and writing or updating quarterly reports for children they actively treat. Students may also be asked to prepare a mock annual report for therapist review when no annual report is due during their rotation.
