Speech Language Pathologist - Dallas, TX

ABOUT THRIVE THERAPIES Thrive Therapies Group is a pediatric healthcare organization on a mission to revolutionize the care of children with disabilities and those facing barriers to access. We provide results-driven services and intelligent tools to support children’s development, well-being, and health. At the heart of this mission are the people who change the trajectories of children’s lives. We work for them. We work exclusively in K–12 schools — because school is where clinical care becomes transformative. Roughly half of all children identified with a disability receive their services in schools, not in healthcare settings. For many of those children, the school-based clinician is the care. Thrive is built around that reality. We work exclusively with historically under-resourced, neurodiverse K–12 communities. Equity isn’t a tagline — it’s the core of why we exist. Our school partners request Thrive by name because they want better outcomes for students with disabilities. WHAT MAKES THRIVE THERAPIES DIFFERENT OUR MISSION There are organizations that place clinicians in schools. Thrive is something different. We are a pediatric healthcare organization built around a singular belief: that school is where clinical care becomes transformative — that a therapy goal in a clinic is a therapy goal, but a therapy goal in a school becomes a friendship on the playground, a kid who feels they belong, a child who gets to participate in the full arc of childhood. Everything we build — our technology, our workload model, our clinical community — exists to protect that work and the clinicians who deliver it. THE WORKLOAD MODEL Thrive uses a workload model that accounts for the full scope of SLP work — direct therapy, evaluations, IEP writing, meetings, documentation, and travel — and sizes your assignment to be sustainable for the long haul. THE TECHNOLOGY Our AI-powered tools were built by clinicians who were tired of losing evenings to documentation. They handle evaluation report generation, session notes, paperwork, and progress summaries — and they give our clinicians 10+ hours back every week. The tools are continuously improved based on clinician feedback. They belong to you as much as anyone. THE CLINICAL COMMUNITY You have a community here and are never alone. You have clinical supervision through a role-alike leader, quarterly professional development led by Thrive’s Senior Director of Related Services — substantive, school-based, and built for your level of expertise, and monthly role-alike communities of practice for case conferencing. You have a paid Summer Intensive that brings the full clinical team together each year. And you have peers across the organization you can reach every day.
