KY PPEC, Inc
Job Title: Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at TKC Therapy
About Us:
TKC Therapy provides high-quality and intensive PT, OT, and ST services to children attending The Kidz Club (TKC), a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center. PPEC centers provide daily skilled nursing care to medically-complex children, ages birth to under 21.

Our Expectations:
As an SLP at this facility, we highly prefer someone with pediatric feeding and/or high- and low-tech AAC experience, as this makes up a large majority of the caseload. The caseload also heavily consists of early intervention, play-based therapy.
The children who attend The Kidz Club range from NICU-discharged infants to young adults in wheelchairs. You must be comfortable treating this wide range of population to be successful here.
This facility has a heavy focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. You must be able to work well with other therapists and staff (PT, OT, ABA, nurses, caregivers, etc.) throughout the day, and be comfortable with basic medical terminology and processes.
This setting consists of medically-complex children, some with accompanying behavior issues as well. You must be confident in your knowledge of therapeutic intervention for unique cases, as well as confident in your ability to manage disruptive behaviors.
We operate on a fee-for-service basis, meaning you are paid for the hours you bill face-to-face with each child. Because of this, you have flexibility in your schedule, but you also need to be hard-working, self-motivated, and efficient with time management.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone with an easy-going personality, who is quick on their feet, passionate about helping children with special needs, and always open to learning!
Regarding CF applicants: We are not accepting clinical fellows at this time, unless the most recent externship was completed in the pediatric hospital or PPEC setting. In this case, a reference call with externship supervisor will be required as part of the interview process.
