The Inland Empire Autism Assessment Center of Excellence (AACE) is currently seeking a dedicated and experienced pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist to join our multidisciplinary/transdisciplinary team. This role offers the opportunity to make a unique and meaningful impact in the lives of children and families across the Inland Empire.
The AACE is a non-profit, evaluation/diagnostic-only center, with clinic sites located in Riverside and San Bernardino. The AACE centers were developed to provide specialized and comprehensive assessment for children referred due to developmental, behavioral, sensory, or other concerns. The referral question is often related to differential diagnoses for children with characteristics of ASD symptomatology. A unique feature of AACE's clinical model is a fully integrated team of clinical professionals from the fields of neurology, pediatrics, genetics, neuropsychology, occupational therapy, and speech & language pathology that comprise a transdisciplinary team. A transdisciplinary provider team is assigned to each child referred to the center, and tailors the evaluation components to address the functional concerns of the child. The successful candidate filling this position will be a member of the AACE transdisciplinary provider team.
