About The Wardlaw School

The Wardlaw School is dedicated to serving children with average to superior intelligence and mild to moderate language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia (reading disability). Children accepted into the Wardlaw School may exhibit underlying auditory and/or language processing difficulties that make it challenging for them to learn in their current educational setting. Our students range in age from 5 to 12 years old and are in kindergarten through 6th grade.

Wardlaw School students typically have a diagnosis of dyslexia or “red flags” for the disorder. They may also have difficulty understanding and/or using spoken language, expressing themselves through written language, or experiencing difficulties with mathematics.

Position Summary

The Wardlaw School for children with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities is currently seeking an outstanding professional to serve as a speech-language pathologist in our multidisciplinary, collaborative educational environment. The Wardlaw School employs passionate professionals who strive to be leaders in their field and who are committed to excellence in the education of all children. Knowledge and understanding of research-based practices in the areas of language development, reading, and math are the cornerstone of all that we do.

We seek to hire innovators and thinkers who choose to work in an environment where they can truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of children. The Wardlaw School encourages all of its students, educators, specialists, and clinicians to be engaged, perpetual learners.
