As part of the special education team in both buildings, the SLP will be responsible for providing diagnostic and intervention services for students with speech, language and hearing disorders. The role will include supporting the elementary-level caseload (approx. 10–12 students with case management of less than 5) and managing the high school speech caseload (approx. 30 students, including consult). Maine state licensure is required.
