About The Position

The Stanley G. Falk School, one of the largest Special Education Day Schools in New York State, serves students across four Western New York locations. We are currently seeking a licensed Speech Language Pathologist to join our collaborative school team and provide therapy services that support students’ communication development and academic success in a structured, supportive environment. Speech Language Pathologists provide individual and group therapy to students with speech, voice, and language disorders to improve communication skills and support academic success.
