About this role

A full caseload, a four-day clinic week, and pay tied to every session you deliver.

Oaklin Lane is hiring a full-time Feeding Therapist at our Lake Highlands clinic in Dallas, Texas — a Speech-Language Pathologist with feeding expertise who sees a family’s table as more than a place to eat, and gets paid for every session and evaluation they deliver.

On our Lane, every session counts

You got into this work because you believed in it. Because you’ve watched a family exhale the first time their kid trusted a new texture, or an infant find a safe latch after weeks of worry. At Oaklin Lane, we’ve built a place where that belief drives everything: purpose-built feeding rooms, materials ready when you arrive, and a team that celebrates every milestone alongside you.

About Oaklin Lane

Oaklin Lane is your neighborhood pediatric therapy clinic — a growing network of purpose-built clinics providing compassionate, expert care to kids from infancy through adolescence. We believe in evidence-backed therapy where hard work feels like play, and progress happens on each kid’s own terms.

What you’ll do

  • Carry a full-time caseload of kids you see consistently, week after week

  • Complete comprehensive feeding and swallowing evaluations and share findings with families in plain language

  • Provide one-on-one 30-minute feeding therapy sessions for kids from infancy through adolescence

  • Build individualized feeding plans for each kid — oral-motor skills, swallowing safety, sensory-based feeding challenges, and mealtime success

  • Prepare developmentally appropriate materials and food items tailored to each child’s medical, sensory, and nutritional needs

  • Document sessions in our EMR with accuracy and care

  • Communicate clearly and compassionately with kids, families, and your interdisciplinary teammates

  • Coordinate care with SLP, OT, and PT so every kid gets one connected plan

  • Create a play-based environment where kids are treated like kids first

Why this role at Oaklin Lane

Pay tied to the work itself. You earn $100 per evaluation and $50 per 30-minute session. A full caseload means a full schedule — clear, simple, and connected directly to the care you provide.

A four-day clinic week. Our clinic is open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with Fridays reserved for make-up sessions. Feeding sessions run 30 minutes, so your day is built in clean, predictable blocks.

Benefits that come with the role. Medical insurance, free dental, and free vision — plus two weeks off over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday, when our clinics close and everyone gets the same break.

A space built for the work. Our clinics are purpose-built from the ground up for pediatric therapy — feeding rooms included. Designed for how kids actually eat, explore, and learn.

A team that shows up for each other. We celebrate progress, support each other, and create a place people genuinely want to be. That’s how culture works on our lane.
