General Speech-Language Services for Schools

Reliable, collaborative, and student-centered SLP support for rural Idaho districts. I provide flexible, in-person SLP support for schools that need it most.

Many rural districts face challenges when trying to fill part-time or short-term SLP roles. My school-based contracting services are designed to bridge that gap with consistent, in-person support that aligns with Idaho special education guidelines and integrates seamlessly into your school teams.

With nearly six years of experience serving rural Idaho and Oregon districts, I understand the demands of school-based SLP work—both clinically and logistically. My goal is to provide high-quality services that lighten your team’s load, support compliance, and help students succeed.

Who I Support

My services are a good fit for districts that:

  • Need part-time or short-term SLP coverage
  • Prefer consistent in-person services rather than virtual staffing
  • Want a contractor who is independent, collaborative, and dependable
  • Have unfilled SLP roles, maternity/medical leaves, or caseload overfloe
  • Value strong communication, compliance, and team partnerships

What’s Included in Contracted Services

All services are delivered with professionalism, transparency, and alignment to IDEA, Idaho Special Education policies, and Medicaid guidelines.

Included in Contracted Hours:
• Direct therapy (individual & group, per IEP)
• Case management for speech-only students
• IEP development, documentation, and IEP meeting attendance
• Medicaid billing and service documentation
• Screenings & comprehensive speech-language evaluations
• Collaboration with staff and families

Available as Add-On Services:
• Supervision of SLPAs, CFs, or university students (pending district needs & compliance)

• Compensatory services (outside contracted hours)

  3. Onboarding & Planning

  5. Ongoing Support & Review

Additional AAC Support for Schools

Practical, collaborative AAC support designed for school teams and student success.

Many school teams want to support students who use Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC), but lack the time, training, or tools to confidently implement it. I provide in-person, school-based AAC support that helps students access their communication systems effectively—while equipping educators and support staff with clear, realistic strategies for everyday use.

My goal is to make AAC feel less overwhelming and more doable for everyone involved.

With a growing specialization in AAC and nearly six years of school-based experience in rural Idaho and Oregon, I offer an approach that is collaborative, student-centered, and aligned with Idaho’s special education guidelines.

Who This Service is For

This support is a strong fit for districts that:

• Have students using or being considered for AAC
• Want in-person AAC support rather than virtual consultation
• Need help building team confidence and consistency with AAC use
• Are seeking clear guidance on student trials, recommendations, or next steps
• Prefer practical, real-world strategies that work in classrooms, homes, and community settings

Add-On AAC Services for Schools

For broader AAC needs beyond individual caseload support, districts may elect to add the following services as a separate AAC contract or add-on to existing services:

• Full AAC evaluations for students (beyond my assigned caseload)
• AAC device trials to determine best-fit systems
• Staff PD & Training on AAC foundations, modeling, classroom supports, etc.
• Classroom coaching to support implementation at the tiered (whole-class) or small-group level
• Device programming & onboarding support following purchase
• Funding assistance (Idaho Medicaid, private insurance, vendors)
• Development of AAC materials & classroom supports

Included in Contracted Services

What’s Included for Students on My Caseload

When you contract with me for school-based SLP services, light AAC support is included for students on my assigned caseload, at no additional cost.

Included in Contracted SLP Services:
• AAC consultations for individual students on my caseload
• Classroom and team collaboration for those students
• Light device programming (vocabulary, page sets, personalization)
• Modeling AAC during sessions and coaching school staff working with the student
• IEP support (goals, present levels, accommodations, team guidance)

This ensures students receiving my direct services have consistent and appropriate AAC support woven into their educational plan.

FAQ

How many days per week do you offer?

I typically support districts part-time (1–2 days per week). Availability depends on the school year and current contracts.

Do you provide virtual services?

Direct services are offered in person to ensure high-quality assessment, therapy, collaboration, and team support. However, if team meetings are scheduled on days I am unable to be present in person and I am able to join a meeting virtually this may be included in the contract.

When do you accept new contracts?

Generally at semester or year-end transitions. Please reach out for current availability.

Can we request AAC services even if we don’t contract you as our SLP

Yes—AAC add-on services may be contracted separately based on availability.

Do you only support AAC for one student or for multiple buildings?

Both are possible. Support may be provided for a single student, a school, or district-wide—depending on your district's needs.
