We Want YOU to Join Our Team
Location: Cleveland
We are pleased to announce the inaugural year of the Fung Family Fellowship in Adult Services at Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center. This fully-funded 9-month clinical fellowship position incorporates supervised work with the community as a speech-language pathologist with a prescribed training schedule designed to build a comprehensive knowledge of the specialized needs of outpatient clients who have aphasia, their families, and the broader community that supports these individuals. The fellow will devote 80% of their time to direct services and 20% of their time to outreach, providing training and education to community partners across Northeast Ohio about how to effectively work with adults who have aphasia. The clinical caseload will be generalized, with both pediatric and adult cases. We seek a new graduate in speech-language pathology who is passionate about the community, adults with communication disorders, and the broad gaps that exist in best serving this population in an outpatient setting.
The Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center (CHSC) is the oldest nonprofit hearing, speech, and deaf services center in the nation and Northeast Ohio’s only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to those with special communication needs. CHSC has a staff of more than 60 professionals providing audiology, speech-language pathology, interpreting, and deaf services in seven Ohio counties. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional training and mentoring for clinical fellows. We balance providing supervision and meeting time above and beyond what is required by ASHA and the Ohio Board by allowing our clinical fellows to deepen their trust in their own clinical judgment.
