  • Collaborate effectively and proactively with teachers, parents, special education staff, and other school personnel to integrate communication goals into daily learning and classroom activities.

  • Maintain accurate and timely documentation of student progress, therapy sessions, and IEPs, adhering to district and state guidelines.

  • Participate in IEP meetings, contributing valuable insights and recommendations.

  • Adapt therapy activities and strategies to suit the diverse needs and learning styles of students from elementary to high school.
