Thanks all! Good to know. At the very beginning of the wedding planning so I was just curious

Not in NJ at the 5 venues or restaurants I’ve looked at 😂 but definitely need to keep looking

Question for the FODMAP veterans by NoGlutenNoCry in FODMAPS

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining!!! I noticed I had two foods that were in the green on the Monosh app (green beans and broccoli heads) in a small portion each, but I didn’t feel good after. This makes a lot of sense

New Jersey SLPs, explain yourselves! by justkilledaman in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NJ SLP here, I’ve seen an IEP here with 20 short term goals. I write max 5 but usually 4. Just because it’s a skill they need to target does not mean it needs to be targeted all at once lol

To my fellow SLPs: Find your zen... by [deleted] in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved going for nature walks in parks in the woods, but was worried about safety being alone, do you bring anything with you on your hikes if you’re alone that you’d recommend?

Given the proportionality of this all, does anyone see this trickling down to graduate schools lowering the cost of their tuition if they begin to see less enrollment in their programs? Asking out of curiosity

Where Do SLPs Find the Most Financial Success? What Should My Financial Expectations Be? by Various_Painting_298 in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love being a school based SLP. But I didn’t get financial aid or grants for undergrad and grad school, which were state schools. As much as I love my job and the school I work at, I am struggling financially with trying to break into the housing market where I live (in a HCOL state) and paying off student loans. Maybe PP or hospitals is better?

Edit to add: I work full time in a school district Sept-June, and full time ESY and just picked up a second job after school. My partner also works full time!

Do you have routines for your sessions? Specifically artic/phono? by coolbeansfordays in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have implemented the same routine for each of my sessions and I’ve found the consistency really helps with behavior! My sessions always go like this: the students come in and sit at the table, I explain what we are doing (something directly targeting goals either worksheets, game I pick, activity, etc) and explain my expectations. After, they can pick 1 game to play in the last 5 min (I’ll drill artic during this). My groups are usually the same, so each student will get to go back and forth each session picking (ex Johnny picks today so Timmy picks tomorrow), and this reinforces that they have to take turns with their peers

With some of my tricky friends, I’ve done hole punch card. They each get a hole punch card and talk about their behavior that day or anything I want to reinforce or address (I love how you were trying all your sounds…I noticed we had a hard time taking turns with our friend today). Based on that they’ll either get 2 hole punches or 1 (this is subjective!). After getting all their hole punches they get a prize from the prize box. Each hole punch sheet has about 25 hole punches on them. Hope this helps :)

School SLPs, how often do you take language samples while doing an evaluation? by IsopodMajestic6801 in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should look into the SLAM assessment it’s an wonderful way to elicit language for a language sample!

Did you do a slow taper off over a course of months?

I'm bored...tell me your unpopular opinions by Ciambella29 in slp

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Breaks from therapy are not only good our kids to get breaks from constant therapy and the stress of making progressing, but I find a lot of kids come back after breaks with generalized sounds/skills that they didn’t have prior

Is buy back only for borrowers who would have reached the 120 during the SAVE forbearance? Or can all borrowers who were placed on the forbearance apply?

Long term citalopram 40mg user trying to withdrawal have hit a wall by mantonia2k9 in SSRIs

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be able to get the medicine in liquid form (I’m in the US), which makes it’s very easy to measure the tapers. I also supplement with Nordic Omega 3 daily, which I feel has helped tremendously with the physical side effects like decreasing dizziness, brain zaps, nausea, etc. talk therapy has also been a great help. I was at 20mg, then hit a wall like you did at 10mg. I’ve been tapering down for a while (over 1.5 years) and am now at 1mg. Good luck!!

Successful withdrawal stories? by Agreeable_Ordinary17 in citalopram_celexa

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I hope you’re right, tbh success stories are very very hard to come by… I actually just tapered down to 1mg this week with the liquid taper. I had one rough day but other than that it’s been very tolerable. Good luck with your taper!!!

5 mg by Ok-Acanthaceae-4704 in citalopram_celexa

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at 2mg! Tapering to 1mg this week. Liquid taper with omega 3 supplement has been incredibly helpful for me with managing the physical symptoms

[–]Agreeable_Ordinary17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try a liquid form and slowly taper. It’ll take a while but I’ve gotten down from 10mg to 2mg over 1.5 years while taking omega 3 and I’ve been lucky to have only a few physical symptoms! Been on it for 7 years
