About the Role
KidsConnect Pediatric Therapy is a therapist-owned private practice dedicated to providing high-level, neurodiversity-affirming care. We are seeking an experienced, independent, and compassionate Illinois Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to join our growing team.

We value independence and initiative. This position is perfect for a seasoned clinician—including school-based professionals looking to transition to outpatient care—who can "hit the ground running" and take pride in providing high-quality, relationship-based therapy.

Growth Opportunity: While this role begins as a part-time position (up to 8 hours per week), we are looking for a clinician who wants to grow with us. For the right fit, this position can transition into a full-time role with expanded benefits.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
Independent Caseload Management: Manage a pediatric caseload from comprehensive diagnostic evaluation through discharge.

Specialized Intervention: Deliver child-led, relationship-based interventions (DIR/Floortime®) and support Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) learners.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with our OTs and Mental Health Specialists to provide holistic, "whole-child" care.

Family Support: Provide education and training to families and schools to assist in the carryover of skills into the client’s daily life.

Documentation: Maintain timely and professional clinical records and progress reports.

Clinical Requirements
Education: Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology or Communicative Disorders.

Licensure: Valid Illinois State License and ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP).

Experience: Minimum of 3 years in a pediatric outpatient setting (Required).

Expertise: Proven experience working with ASD, ADHD, and Emotional Dysregulation.

Frameworks: Proficiency in DIR/Floortime® and Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) is highly preferred.

The Ideal Team Member
Self-Starter: You are a professional who manages time efficiently and functions without constant supervision.

Strong Work Ethic: You take ownership of your schedule and show up fully for your clients and peers.

Team-First Mentality: You believe a "rising tide lifts all boats" and enjoy collaborating and sharing insights.

Commitment: We prioritize stability for the children we serve and are looking for a clinician seeking a long-term professional home.

Why KidsConnect?
Clinical Autonomy: We trust your expertise. You have the freedom to treat your clients based on your clinical judgment.

Supportive Culture: Join a team that actually talks to each other and provides genuine professional support.

Competitive Pay: We highly value specialized expertise and offer a pay structure that reflects your years in the field.

Future Benefits: Full-time transition includes access to 401K (with match), Health/Dental/Life insurance, PTO and otherr.

How to Apply
If you are a dedicated clinician who takes pride in your work and loves being part of a team, we want to hear from you.

“In Denmark, empathy is part of the curriculum. Since 1993, children aged 6 to 16 have taken weekly classes designed to build compassion, cooperation, and emotional understanding. These lessons encourage students to share feelings, listen deeply, and support peers skills that research shows reduce bullying and improve social connection. By teaching empathy alongside academics, Denmark has cultivated a generation that values kindness and community. The result is one of the world’s most compassionate societies, where children learn that emotional intelligence is as vital as intellectual growth.”
