Thrive Therapies Group·Knoxville, Tennessee
Deliver evidence-based speech and language services to K-12 students through a hybrid model of remote telehealth and monthly on-site intensives. Conduct comprehensive evaluations and develop individualized education programs (IEPs) in collaboration with educators and parents.
SLPs are the backbone of school-based healthcare. You're managing complex caseloads, navigating documentation systems, and fighting for adequate planning time while delivering evidence-based care. At Thrive, we eliminate the administrative burden so you can focus on what you love: helping students communicate.
We partner with school districts that value your professional autonomy and provide compensation packages that reflect your master's-level expertise. Our SLPs report more planning time, transparent caseload caps aligned with ASHA standards, and direct access to school leadership for advocacy.
As a Speech-Language Pathologist, you deliver evidence-based speech and language services to students K–12 with language disorders, articulation delays, fluency concerns, voice disorders, and complex communication needs. You collaborate with special education teams, general educators, parents, and related services providers to create inclusive, data-driven intervention plans.
