We're Hiring!

We are looking for a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist to join Daria Gail Speech!
If you're interested in learning more, email your resume to daria@dariagailspeech.com
As a SLP at Daria Gail Speech, you will lead with your heart and your head, providing high-quality evaluations and individualized therapy across our Beacon and Poughkeepsie offices, as well as in-home and school settings. You’ll be a collaborative bridge-builder, working closely with families to ensure therapy goals translate into real-life wins. Beyond the clinical work, you’ll be responsible for maintaining accurate documentation and progress reports in our EMR system in a timely manner. Because this role involves traveling to clients within our service area, you are someone who is proactive and comfortable working independently in varied environments.
You are a clinician who views therapy as an adventure rather than a clinical checklist. You are creative, playful, and deeply patient, naturally building trust through connection rather than compliance. As a neurodiversity-affirming advocate, you celebrate the unique strengths of every child, and you are proactive about finding the right tools (like AAC) to help them shine. You are an adaptable, kind, and strong communicator who can explain the "why" behind child-led play to a caregiver just as easily as you can collaborate with a fellow professional.
This role will begin as maternity coverage with a pre-planned schedule and the possibility of adding evaluations based on your availability. Following the coverage period, the role transitions into a permanent part-time position where you will build and maintain a consistent caseload. While we are starting as part-time (flexible weekdays/afternoons required; weekends are a plus), there is a strong possibility for this to evolve into a full-time role in the future.

Qualifications:
-
Valid licensure or certification as a Speech-Language Pathologist from an accredited program

Prior school experience or pediatric expertise is required
-
Strong ability to adapt therapy sessions to the client's needs

Deep knowledge of various speech sound disorders and their underlying causes
