CDS-Connection: FW: Bilingual SLP position - NWRESD

[Communication Disorders & Sciences]

Please see position details below:




As mentioned earlier, a coveted position in my Tigard Tualatin SD team has become available due to a relocation, and I am currently in search of a bilingual / bicultural SLP to provide services with a linguistically and culturally responsive lens.  This SLP will work 4 days a week in Tigard Tualatin as a direct service provider  (elementary level primarily) and would also work closely with me one day per week at NW Regional ESD  to extend supports to our school-based SLP team throughout our region.  This position will ultimately provide a passionate SLP a pathway to impacting change with an equity lens in Tigard Tualatin and beyond.  Although a candidate with school-based experience would be preferred, I am willing to mentor and provide an infrastructure of supports for a candidate in order to ensure their success.

I am available to meet and or connect via phone with interested SLP's to share additional information.
