  • Will also be involved in evaluating participants in a range of standardized language and cognitive tasks, delivering a pre-determined speech and language training session, archiving language, cognitive and therapy results, maintaining patients’ files, and analyzing oral and written therapy data.


Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in related discipline.
  • Additional related experience may substitute for required education, tothe extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.
