About this role
Most generalist roles let you pick up specialty cases occasionally — feeding, AAC, fluency, bilingual, voice — without actually giving you the protected caseload, title, or specialty bonus. That structural gap is what this role closes.
Vacaville sits 15 minutes up I-80 from our Dixon HQ, and we've been placing SLPs into Vacaville Unified for over a decade — our team already knows the district's SpEd leadership by first name.
Mixed-setting specialty SLPs in Vacaville split between our clinic network (for direct care) and cross-site consultation or assessment coverage (where your specialty credentials command a premium rate). The week is built around where your expertise is most needed each day, not rigid site assignment.
Specialty focus: pediatric feeding disorders, SOS Approach to Feeding, tube-weaning protocols, and IDDSI-consistent texture modification — +$10K specialty bonus when certified.
What this role looks like
- Conference support — we send specialists to ASHA Convention and at least one specialty-specific conference annually
- Mentorship slot — you can supervise CFs or guide junior SLPs in your specialty (compensated separately)
- Material + resource budget specifically for your specialty (AAC apps, feeding supplies, voice tools)
- Clear path to "Lead Specialist" at 2+ years — protocol ownership, internal CEU delivery, peer consult
Who thrives here
This role is for the SLP who took one specialty CEU too many and realized generalist practice is draining the curiosity out of the work. Pick your lane; we'll structure intake around it and pay you accordingly.
Highlights & benefits
- Cross-site consultation at a premium rate
- Protected specialty caseload (60%+ focus-area cases)
- Specialty bonus $5K-$10K/year once certified

- 15 min from STC HQ in Dixon — established district relationships
Requirements
