You also attend plan of care review meetings, make appropriate referrals, and keep up-to-date on trends and best practices to continuously improve your work on our rehabilitation team.

Collaboration and teamwork are essential in this speech pathology role, and you excel at both. You work closely with other providers of your clients, promoting a unified, team-oriented atmosphere in all communication and actions. Your leadership skills are exceptional, so you also develop and present in-service staff training and help develop community education or training.

What's even better is that you're passionate about speech therapy and love positively impacting your clients' lives.
