Immediate Part-Time Opening

Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC or CFY)

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A CREATIVE MINDED, HARDWORKING PERSON WHO ALSO HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR

AND….IT HELPS IF YOU KNOW A FEW THINGS ABOUT HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM, ASPERGER SYNDROME, PDD-NOS, ADHD, NVLD AND RELATED SOCIAL LEARNING ISSUES.

About us:

• Teach Social Silicon Valley is a California 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to teaching Social Thinking and related social skills to preschoolers, children and adults. TSSV was formally known to the community as Michelle G. Winner’s Center for Social Thinking and continues to maintain the focus of treatment. We are passionate about developing creative treatment ideas, evolving our programs to fit the growing needs in Silicon Valley, and encourage professional and family collaboration.
• We incorporate the principals of Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking framework. Michelle continues to be an active part of our training by providing Grand Rounds on a regular basis. We also utilize other principles that help to foster the social and academic development of our students. Our clientele tend to have near average to very high verbal intelligence, but struggle with social learning.
• We provide hands-on training to new therapists, as we recognize few clinicians have received formal training in this area.
• Therapists typically work from 11am to 7pm, having time to collaborate, write treatment notes and develop lesson plans from 11am until about 2pm, at which point they do small group therapy in the afternoons. The final 10 minutes of each 60 minute session is spent with the parents to foster carry-over into the home, school, and community.
• This is a position that offers growth and diversity over time. Therapists are encouraged to also work with families as consultants, eventually providing trainings to local school districts. Furthermore, TSSV’s mission includes the expansion of programs to better serve adults in the community as well as continue to develop the school training program.
• TSSV recently hired an executive director who is helping to “put us on the map” in Silicon Valley.
• We offer a competitive salary, full medical benefits package for full time employees and a competitive retirement plan. Employees also receive two weeks vacation, one week sick and the clinic closes down for two weeks during the winter holidays and during the last week of August each year.
