About the School
You'll work in a well-established K–12 private school that specializes in supporting students with Dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. While the school is recognized for its expertise in reading intervention, it embraces and supports students with a wide range of communication and learning needs.

- Team-oriented culture—we help one another with make-up sessions and coverage when a therapist is out.
- School schedule, plus an optional summer program.
- Opportunity to expand your caseload by seeing clients at our Columbia therapy center if desired.
