Overcoming family challenges for therapy services

Below is an email sent out by the Teletherapy Division (VocoVision) of our company. If anyone can help them in their research to improve their services to families of special needs children, please contact me at 866-874-7390 or email me at millie.simpson@soliant.com.

Request for information:


As you gather with friends and family to celebrate this great American holiday, the VocoVision team would like to ask for your help.

We are in the early stages of developing a new VocoVision telespeech service that can be used directly in the home. An important part of our process is understanding the challenges families currently have when seeking professional therapy services. Beginning the week after Thanksgiving, VocoVision will be interviewing families with children who are receiving speech therapy to find out more about how they juggle the demands of family life along with the need for speech services.


Thank you so much for any help in referring family members who would be willing to give us their input!

New Mexico school looking for new grad SLP

This will be short and sweet, as I just found out that our new grad applicant for a school in Albuquerque, NM has decided to take a position in a clinic rather than our school. We have a CF supervisor lined up and the school is very open to new grads. If you are graduating in December and would be interested in this position, please contact me ASAP. Or, if you know a fellow graduate looking for a "done deal" spot, please pass me along. A bilingual candidate is preferred (Spanish), but not necessary.

We will assist you with NM licensure, housing and travel if you are not in New Mexico and considering working a travel contract.

Send me a resume at millie.simpson@soliant.com or feel free to call me during the week at 866-874-7390.

Long list of Special Ed jobs outside of therapists

In our office/call center here, there are "captains" to each of our divided territories who check with their team to update our list of open jobs each week. I was surprised to see how many positions were open in what we call our Pupil Services Group (PSG) this week. These are positions outside the typical Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy realm. I won't list all of them here, but below is a sampling of the states who need help this week:

Teacher for the Visually Impaired (TVI) CA, CO, MD, NC, NV and VA

School Psychologist CO, IL, NM, OH, OR, SD, VA, WA, WI

Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (TDHH) CA, CO

Sign Language Interpreter (SLI) CA, CO

Braillest near Sacramento, CA

Special Ed Teachers (often require specific AZ, CA, MN, NM, WA
certifications)

If you are qualified and are interested in working as a contract Special Ed professional, give me a call or drop me an email if you see anything here that might be a good fit for you. I'll give you as many details as possible! Thanks, all! millie.simpson@soliant.com/866-874-7390 (In my scripting of this, everything was in a nice column format; I'm sorry it doesn't appear that way for your viewing. I'm still learning.) ;-{
