• Provide therapeutic services in-person in the clinic setting and via telehealth, as clinically appropriate.
• Accurately complete documentation in accordance with Cortica’s designated time frames.
• Provide neurodiversity affirming interventions that are both play-based and goal-based.
• Facilitate functional and child-led experiences to target and achieve individualized goals.
• Utilize transdisciplinary care strategies and supports to help the individual engage in communication experiences across settings.
• Collaborate with the individual and family to understand their values, interests, and goals.
• Implement programming that considers all aspects of the child, inclusive of, but not limited to sensory, motor, cognitive, communicative, recreational, and social activities.
• Educate patients, families, team members, and caregivers on strategies and generalization activities that complement treatment.
• Attend and participate in transdisciplinary rounds, care collaboration meetings, collaborative workshops, site meetings, as well as discipline specific trainings.
• Follow Cortica crisis and emergency procedures, including de-escalation strategies, first aid strategies and mandated reporting.
• Utilize software and systems, including electronic medical record (EMR) systems and Microsoft Office products, to efficiently manage documentation, reporting, and communication tasks.

• You are licensed to practice as a Speech and Language Pathologist Assistant in the state of practice.
• You have first aid/CPR training.
• You have a tuberculosis (TB) clearance.
