Project Hope Foundation has served the autism community as a nonprofit organization for 25 years. As the largest ABA-based autism service provider in South Carolina, we offer a unique way for SLPs to practice their specialty.

Several areas set us apart from other providers, including:

Our Values:

• Dedicate ourselves to individuals impacted by autism
• Cultivate a culture of compassion
• Leverage our collective strengths
• Committed to ongoing improvement

Clinic-Based Therapy with a Built-In Support System

As an SLP at Project Hope, you will spend your time working at one of our eight clinic locations in the upstate. Clinic-based therapy decreases travel time between locations and allows you to focus on your responsibilities and clients. The collaborative support you receive from your coworkers promotes brainstorming, problem-solving, and sharing knowledge. Clinics also offer crisis management assistance by always having a site-specific supervisor on-call, meaning there will be support available to support you with any situation that comes your way.

A Well-Developed Organizational Structure

As a truly unique nonprofit, our business-like approach to administrative and operational tasks allows you to focus on your clients rather than daily operations. This is made possible due to:

• Intake and scheduling teams who work out all scheduling needs for you and your clients.
• Billing specialists who ensure all billing requirements are met.
• HR, Operations, and IT teams who assist in areas including: credentials, training, technology requests/repair, and much more

Supporting a Healthy Work Environment

We recognize the value of a healthy work-life balance and its role in avoiding burnout. Our value of compassion extends not only to our clients but to our staff as well. We strive to recognize each individual's specific needs and create an environment that allows for flexibility. We respect your time and offer no late evenings, no weekend hours, and minimal after-school sessions.

Other Areas that Set us Apart

• We regularly provide leadership training in areas such as best strategies for leading therapists, communicating with different personalities, and effective ways to deliver feedback.
• There are continuous opportunities for professional development at Project Hope, including conference attendance, training in curriculum and assessment protocols, and CEU support dollars available
• SLPs at Project Hope Foundation are not contracted workers but rather full-time employees. This allows our providers opportunities to advance, chances to fully engage in PHF's culture, and access our wide range of benefits which amount to a starting value of $9,500 - $10,250 per year in indirect compensation.
