Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)San Antonio, TX: Pediatric Private Practice

Canyon Kids Therapy is a growing pediatric therapy clinic serving children and families in the Helotes and Alamo Ranch communities. We're looking for a passionate Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who wants to make a meaningful difference in children's lives while helping develop our growing speech therapy program.
 

Founded by a pediatric occupational therapist and father, Canyon Kids Therapy grew out of personal experience navigating the challenges of finding and accessing occupational and speech therapy services for his own children. Having experienced both sides of the process—as a therapist providing care and as a parent seeking services for his family—our founder wanted to create a clinic focused on helping children and supporting the families who care for them.
 

That experience continues to shape our commitment to individualized care, meaningful family relationships, and a supportive clinical environment.
 

We're open to both full-time and part-time candidates who value quality care, teamwork, and the opportunity to grow with an expanding practice.
