I work for a company that recruits speech language pathologists
(SLPs), occupational therapists (OTs), and physical therapists (PTs)
and contracts them out to school districts throughout the country. We
specialize in providing bilingual therapists to our clients (schools).
I would like to know what specific public school DISTRICTS in ANY of
the cities listed below (or as many possible) have the greatest
current need for bilingual (Spanish-English) or monolingual
(English-only) speech therapists.
Phoenix,AZ
Houston, TX
Austin, TX
Dallas, TX
Miami, FL
Chicago, IL
and/or Boston, MA
To help you with this research, you should know that these types of
therapists are typically called speech language pathologists (SLPs),
speech therapists, or if they are fresh out of graduate school ? CFYs
(conducting a clinical fellow year). The division within public
schools that handles the hiring of therapists is usually the Special
Education Department. In doing a search, the best people to contact
to solicit information about current needs are ?special education
directors?, ?speech coordinators? or ?human resource directors?.
If there is any other useful information I can provide to help your
search, please let me know. |
