About this role
The specialist role is designed for the clinician whose CEU history already tells the story — you've been moving toward one focus area for a while, and you're ready to make it the whole job instead of a third of it.
Davis Joint Unified caps SLP caseloads in writing at 55 — rare in California — and runs a well-organized SpEd team with a dedicated AT specialist co-managing AAC devices so you're not troubleshooting hardware solo.
Specialty school SLPs in Davis run a protected caseload built around your focus area — typically 25-35 students in the specialty plus cross-site consultation on complex cases the generalist SLPs flag. Assessment days are higher-premium; service delivery is yours to structure. School calendar, real summer, prep time, lunch.
Specialty focus: childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), complex phonological disorders, and motor-speech protocols (DTTC, PROMPT) for kids who didn't respond to standard articulation therapy — +$5K specialty bonus.
What this role looks like
- Protected caseload built around your specialty — we flex intake so 60%+ of your cases match your focus area
- +$5K–$10K annual specialty bonus once you hold the relevant cert (SOS, LSVT-LOUD, BCS-F, ADOS-2, etc.)
- Specialty-certification stipend — we pay for the course and exam fees upfront, not reimbursed after
- Assessment premium — when you cover specialty evaluations across sites, it's billed at a higher rate
Who thrives here
If you've been picking up specialty cases at your current job without the specialty caseload, title, or pay — that's the gap we built this role to close. Come in credentialed or come in with a specialization plan, and we'll fund the certification.
