What are the responsibilities and job description for the Speech and Language Pathology Assistant - Itinerant position at Ocean View Elementary?
Under the supervision of a Speech and Language Pathologist, the Speech-Language pathology Assistant provides direct speech and language therapy services to students at various school site locations. Established in 1870, Ocean View School District is one of the oldest in Ventura County.

Later, the District added two more schools and a child care center.
