Pacific Coast Speech is committed to fostering a diverse workforce, and maintaining a workplace that is equitable, inclusive and safe for all employees. From recruiting practices, to pay and benefits, an environment of equity is of the utmost importance. We recognize that our employees comprise a wide range of backgrounds and characteristics, and believe those differences should be celebrated and valued. Individual employees contribute their experience as humans, and ultimately to the knowledge and expertise that make our employees valuable assets of the company.

Yes. Contracting is a great way to assure a steady stream of income while you build your practice, as long as you aren’t “marketing” the students in your school setting. One of our contractors resigned from a FT direct hire position and spent a few months developing and initiating a private practice. She budgeted for part-time work through PCSS to supplement her practice. Each year thereafter, she adjusted her PCSS hours upward or downward based on her goals for the year.

Yes. Contracting for limited hours is a great way to maintain skills and earn additional income while setting your own pace. Retirees often choose to fill maternity leaves and keep the rest of the year open to travel.

No. We are choosy about our clinicians. If you are offered a “slot” after our interview process is complete, you can choose to accept or decline. If you accept, we will begin developing suggestions for a specific position. You are free to explore other opportunities while we work on your placement. You are not committed to a contract until you have accepted a specific position.

You call us! We will brainstorm together to create solutions. Typically, we start with a data driven discussion with our district administrator, and provide suggestions for solutions. We have excellent relationships with our district administrators, and work well together.

Yes, either by one of our clinicians, the district staff, or both. We also provide tips sheets for working within specific districts, and have a collection of forms, tips, and materials on our Google Documents library. We are always ready to support you with eligibility discussions, unusual cases, or caseload overage issues.

Our placements are chosen specifically for you. As a company, our staff support is a top priority. If site issues arise, we work together to resolve them. All of our contracts with districts have a 30-day cancellation clause. If we absolutely cannot find a solution, PCSS has the option to terminate the district contract. This rarely occurs.

Yes, upon the request of a district or school partner. Due to COVID-19, SLPs and SLPAs provided teletherapy for some of the students on their caseload and/or for an entire caseload. If you are interested in a teletherapy position, please contact us.

No. We work exclusively within school settings, with the exception of some hybrid services during COVID. When we have a request for private services, we refer to one of our part-time SLPs with a private practice or a community resource.

Pacific Coast Speech Services serves schools within Orange County and portions of Riverside, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Northern San Diego Counties. If you live outside of those borders, we may be able to refer you to Point Quest Group affiliate.
