About Avoria

At Avoria, we believe that every journey is different, every milestone, big or small, matters and is worth celebrating, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We provide high-quality, family-centred, in-home ABA and Speech Therapy services designed to fit naturally into families' lives.

We are moving away from the traditional, rigid clinic model to focus on natural environment teaching, compassionate care, and meaningful caregiver collaboration.

We are currently looking for a passionate Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), to join our team as an Independent Contractor. As a valued member of our team, you'll work alongside a dynamic, multidisciplinary group to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients. You will provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment services for clients with communication, cognitive‑communication, and swallowing disorders in a home and community setting.

Job Description

• Conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate patients’ speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing abilities.
• Develop and implement personalized, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to neurodivergent children and their families.
• Deliver direct therapy to enhance speech production, language understanding and expression, articulation, voice quality, fluency, and swallowing function.
• Use a range of interventions, including oral motor therapy, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) strategies, and cognitive-communication rehabilitation.
• Provide patient and caregiver support with education, coaching, and home carryover strategies to maximize treatment effectiveness.
• Assist patients and families with equipment and device recommendations (e.g., AAC tools, assistive technologies).
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation (assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, discharge summaries).
• Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary care team to ensure patients receive holistic, coordinated support.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
• Registered and in good standing with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO).
• Minimum of 1 year of experience working as a Speech-Language Pathologist (community or clinical experience an asset).
• Experience with a variety of assessment tools and therapy techniques.
• Strong skills in developing, delivering, and adjusting therapy plans based on patient progress.
• Valid Ontario driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle.
• Current Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC).

What We Offer

• Highly Competitive Pay: Hourly rates ranging from $50 to $60/hour, based on experience.
• Flexible Schedule: Create your own caseload and working hours as an independent contractor to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Professional Growth: Continuing education allowances and professional development opportunities.
• Administrative Support: Centralized intake, scheduling, and billing support so you can focus entirely on clinical care.
