Speech-Language Pathologist

Company Description Bambino Therapy is a Bengaluru-based practice dedicated to supporting children's speech and language development in ways that honor each child's individuality and voice. The team focuses on communication as a means of connection, autonomy, and self-advocacy rather than simple requesting or compliance.

Bambino Therapy specializes in Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), using child-led, play-based therapy approaches. The practice emphasizes presuming competence in every child, celebrating progress in everyday moments and empowering children to shape their own paths. Clinicians work in a collaborative, supportive environment that values flexibility, creativity, and family-centered care.

Role Description This is a full-time, on-site role for a Speech-Language Pathologist based at Bambino Therapy's center in Timber Yard Layout. The Speech-Language Pathologist will provide assessment and intervention for children with diverse communication needs, including those who use GLP and AAC. Daily responsibilities include conducting evaluations, developing individualized, play-based treatment plans, delivering therapy sessions, and documenting progress in a clear and timely manner. The role involves collaborating closely with families and caregivers, coaching them on communication strategies, and coordinating with other professionals as needed. The Speech-Language Pathologist will also contribute to ongoing program development, participate in team meetings and case discussions, and stay current with child-led and neurodiversity-affirming practices.
