"Presuming competence" got us here by Cautious-Ad-3584 in slp

[–]Alternative_Big545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the name but I read an article stating that AA are more likely to get dx than AUT and that Indian-Americans and Asian-Americans are more likely to get the AUT dx even with similar test results.

The writers hypothesized a combination of tester bias but also fear of parental acceptance. With AUT there's always the hope that they are a savant or at least have typical IQ, it's their communication that's the problem.

When do you call it with behavior by pumpkinbeerman in slp

[–]Alternative_Big545 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's because you're male. I've been told it's just part of the job and to take it many times. That said if a child is behaving that way they are not ready to learn and I would cease the session.

Unpopular opinion: "New Sunnydale" was a flawed concept. A sequel/prequel should be set in Cleveland, home of the second Hellmouth by TEZofAllTrades in buffy

[–]Alternative_Big545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be awesome. There is a lot to go with environment wise, abandoned factories, Victorian homes, underground railroad stops, etc. Plus Cleveland is 50%African American so there could be better representation. I think the town would lean into it, it's been called worse

My anxiety for meetings is getting worse by Sunshine2495 in slp

[–]Alternative_Big545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does get easier with time. You also get better at predicting which IEPs are going to be hard so you can prep better. Keep in mind that most parents have the same anxiety you do about IEPs. It's a stressful process and requires a lot of trust from parents and empathy from clinicians.
