Speech-Language Pathologist Therapeutic Consultation | AAC | Caregiver Coaching | Hybrid | Virginia
Are you an SLP who loves solving communication challenges beyond the therapy room?
Little Bird Speech LLC is a small, clinician-owned private practice providing speech-language consultative services through Virginia's DD Waiver programs. We believe meaningful communication is built through everyday interactions, not just during therapy sessions.
This is not a traditional direct therapy position.
Instead, you will partner with caregivers, families, support staff, and interdisciplinary teams to help individuals develop meaningful communication skills that support participation, independence, and connection throughout everyday life.
If you enjoy AAC, caregiver coaching, collaboration, and creative problem-solving, we would love to meet you.

- Support AAC assessment, implementation, programming, and caregiver training.
- Collaborate with service coordinators, behavior analysts, occupational therapists, physical therapists, day support staff, and families.
- Complete documentation required by Virginia DD Waiver programs.
- Deliver services through a combination of telehealth and community-based visits.
We're Looking for Someone Who...

- Is organized and able to manage an independent caseload.
- Communicates professionally with families and interdisciplinary teams.
- Enjoys working independently while still being part of a collaborative practice.
