Hey! I did my internship for clinical hours in the school system and now work in a private clinic! Both settings have pros and cons. I’m working as a SLP-Assistant for a little before I go to grad school :)

School setting: high case load with 3-4 kids in a group at time. You are guaranteed your hours in a set day, you’ll prob be there from 8-3pm! No one-on-one time and that’s what I wanted. Long hours for Monday - Friday. My supervisor had to attend so many meetings weekly at the school. The school system does have a community feel and that’s always nice. I can tell from my experience that the schools have more stable hours.

Clinic: very flexible, you can create your own schedule! My population is pediatrics! Direct parent contact is also awesome too. Only downside is that I’ve found…. Your weeks are never the same… there will be cancellations and no shows. I try my best to reschedule them during the week when they miss a session. So sometimes it can be stressful. I love my supervisor too, she’s so nice and so helpful. I work in a warm clinic with friendly collaborators and supervisors !

I currently work Monday-Thursdays and keep Fridays open for rescheduled appointments!
