The DSRF offers a level of Down syndrome expertise unmatched in Canada. Our mission is to support people living with Down syndrome and their families with individualized and leading-edge educational programs, health services, information resources, and rich social connections so each person can flourish in their own right. The outcomes for individuals with Down syndrome can be maximized by providing opportunities for rich social connections with family and friends, participation in the community, optimal health care, as well as the opportunity to learn through instruction that is tailored to the profile of the learner.   We offer a dynamic working environment where all members of our team problem solve together to create the best possible outcomes for the children and adults we serve. Our collaborative, interdisciplinary team offers speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, positive behaviour support, mental health services, comprehensive sexual education and one to one academic programs for students of all ages, as well as small group adult programs for students transitioning from high school.

You especially enjoy people of all ages with developmental disabilities and use a play-based approach to learning. You are comfortable collaborating with families. You create a fun and friendly environment in your therapy sessions and appreciate the small gains that lead to success over time. 

Responsibilities:

  • Provide weekly individual therapy to individuals with Down syndrome
  • Assist in the transfer of skills into the classroom, community, and home environments via mentoring parents and other team members
  • Collaborate with Director of Therapy, Behaviour and Family Support and Manager, SLP to ensure quality and effective programming

Qualifications:

  • A Registered Speech-Language Pathologist (Master's degree), new grads are welcome

Each therapist and teacher has an office space with a closed door. Therapy sessions are provided in person, or online via telehealth. Moderate physical effort is required throughout the day: therapists follow students' lead in terms of level of physical play, and location of activities (at the table, on the floor, in the gym etc.).

Diversity & Inclusion: To be a diverse and inclusive workplace that is representative (at all levels) of the people we serve, DSRF welcomes and encourages applications from anyone who identifies as Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+, a member of a visible minority population, and persons with disabilities. If you are a member of any of these groups and wish to contribute to furthering DSRF's mission, we encourage you to self-identify in your application, cover letter and/or resume.

Compensation: The salary is based upon a 37.5 hour work week and is $80, $90,000.00; commensurate with experience as an SLP in a similar role.
