Speech Language Pathologist-Elwyn

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) – Elwyn (3-5 Program)
1099 Position| Mobile | Philadelphia | $93/hour

Flexible. Collaborative. Neurodiversity-Affirming.

We're looking for a passionate, thoughtful SLP to join our Early Intervention team through Elwyn in Philadelphia. This is a mobile, 1099 contract position with a minimum of 15 hours/week. Full-time hours are available—and so is flexibility, support, and community.

At Small Talk Therapeutic Services , we're reimagining what pediatric therapy can look like. We're a therapist-owned, neurodiversity-affirming practice grounded in relationship-based, child-led care. We work with infants and toddlers in a way that honors autonomy, sensory needs, and connection—not compliance.

Our Culture:

We center authenticity, collaboration, and equity in everything we do. We work hard to dismantle ableist norms and support children in a way that honors their autonomy, sensory needs, and communication preferences. Our team is made up of kind, thoughtful clinicians who support each other and share a passion for neurodiversity-affirming work.

What We Offer:

• $93/hour pay-per-visit
• Choose your own schedule and caseload
• Voluntary benefits available – dental, vision, short-term disability (including maternity leave)
• Access to a clinic space and shared materials
• Streamlined, online documentation system

What Makes Us Different

• We value collaboration – Monthly team meetings, active group chat, and regular resource sharing
• We're not into burnout. We're into boundaries, community, and doing this work sustainably
• Mentorship + growth – Work alongside experienced, ND-affirming SLPs trained in AAC and Natural Language Acquisition
• Real opportunities to lead – Grad student and CF supervision, team trainings, and community presentations
• Ongoing learning – Dive deep into topics like NLA, sensory regulation, caregiver coaching, and disability justice
• We take care of each other – real collaboration and ongoing learning
• Be a part of the Neurodiversity Affirming social justice movement- learn about practices that align with neurodiversity affirming care

What You'll Do

• Provide Elwyn Early Intervention services for children 3-5 in Philadelphia
• Develop and implement IEP-based goals using child-led, play-based strategies
• Coach caregivers to support communication development
• Document progress and session notes in compliance with Elwyn, city, and state requirements
• Attend IEP meetings and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team
• Participate in trainings and contribute to a growing community of ND-affirming providers

Who We're Looking For

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology
• Licensed (or license-eligible) in Pennsylvania
• Experience with children ages 0–5 preferred
• Understanding of—or openness to learning—ND-affirming, relationship-based practices
• Strong organization, communication, and time management skills
• Kind, curious, and grounded in respect for learners and families

This role is a great fit for someone who wants to work independently but not in isolation. If you're an SLP who's excited to support children through a lens of connection, not compliance—and you want to be part of a thoughtful, values-driven team—we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and be part of a movement that's changing how therapy is done.
