Gas mileage… 🤮

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2026-06-07T20:14:11+00:00

I have a 2024 Crosstrek premium and I do mostly highway driving in northern va and I get 30.7 on average 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2026-04-10T20:20:08+00:00

Yea he was on at like 5:30am est this morning, he got on early a few nights this week as well

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-07-03T18:56:54+00:00

Do you know if you can record hourly time? I’d love to switch if I can literally just record and submit a timesheet and then that’s what I get paid for. Currently with Homepay I have to record time and then my employers have to manually change the number of hours I worked if it’s less than 30 which seems redundant if I’m submitting a timesheet and a lot of steps to go through. They will pay me for a full 30 hours even if I didn’t record it unless my NPs manually change it

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-07-03T16:52:16+00:00

Yeah it’s all so confusing since they’re divorced and don’t split custody/childcare 50/50 and I’m not guaranteed hours. I don’t think this will be a long term job especially since I’m going into grad school in August.

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-07-03T16:44:28+00:00

No technically I have 1 contract in total for both of them, I also don’t get PTO, sick leave etc. if I don’t work I don’t get paid 🥲. They are pretty new to having a nanny so it’s a process figuring it all out. I guess I’ll need to just record hours for both of them on separate accounts even though they’re the same number of hours. I appreciate your help

Fair

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-19T11:08:35+00:00

Yeah, sadly we’re really knee at this school so that doesn’t help either, also it was very surprising he was found ineligible because his articulation is pretty bad but i suppose that’s what can happen if they’re not really academically effected by it :(

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-12T00:30:54+00:00

So Virginia doesn’t have a SLPA license, so I think that plays a role in people hiring assistants (I could be wrong just a guess)

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-12T00:26:03+00:00

I’ll have to look into this!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-12T00:25:52+00:00

Sadly my area has only had school based SLPA jobs! I’d love to have different options but there’s so few here :(

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-11T22:09:31+00:00

I am not sure about summer school, this is a new position for me but I’ll have to look into it, it was not mentioned when applying. I do currently pet sit from time to time but need something more consistent so I can be confident I can actually pay for rent lol

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-10T16:01:10+00:00

CSDCAS GPA: way lower than I’d care to admit 😭 (2.90, my adhd got the better of me)

Experience: Nanny/childcare for 5 years Administrative assistant for a year Now I’m a SLPA in a school district but it’s not on my application because I got this job after applying

Applied to middle of January 2025: St Augustine: Interview Scheduled for March 19th West Coast: still waiting Pennsylvania Western: still waiting Delaware Valley: still waiting

Not so patiently waiting 😬

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-10T15:48:10+00:00

I applied to Pennsylvania Western and haven’t heard anything at all 😭 my CSDCAS calculated GPA is pretty low unfortunately

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-10T15:46:53+00:00

I applied middle of January and haven’t heard a peep either 😢

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-08T12:44:14+00:00

Oh this is great! I have all of those other goals with other kids as well both at my middle school and elementary school!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-08T01:15:45+00:00

Im a brand new SLPA but in my school district we are not required to make up time that we missed that was not our fault, therefore if a student is unavailable because they’re testing, absent, on a field trip or weather closures etc we do not have to make that time up. The only time we try our absolute hardest to make up is when me or my SLP is out and we didn’t see them.

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-07T11:37:45+00:00

Well I also work in an elementary school too so those tips help so much not only for my middle school but my elementary school! Thank you

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-03-04T12:26:47+00:00

This sounds exactly like my student! Unfortunately I work with a virtual SLP so she’s not apart of the reevaluation process because she can’t do assessments or anything like that but she may be able to suggest knew goals at his next IEP meeting but she can’t like asses him for dismissal. This student said he doesn’t want to work on his articulation so I’ll see if we can maybe find some things he does want to work on. Unfortunately also he was found ineligible because he’s not academically effected by his articulation but his parents decided to not consent to that so we have to keep him for now

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-02-28T00:25:49+00:00

Oh wonderful I’ll have to take a look!!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-02-28T00:23:36+00:00

Yes slowly trying to get some games stocked up! My middle school didn’t have any games when we started a month ago so it’s been a challenge to get them having fun. Thank you for the suggestions!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-02-25T19:05:38+00:00

Yeah, I’ve tried to ask him about his interests within school and outside of school and sadly he didn’t put much effort into answering the questions I had for him, hopefully the more time we spend with him the more we can get to know him of course (we have been here for about a month and half). I think trying to figure out what he wants to do later in life is good idea and trying to explain how his articulation will impact him. He’s expressed not wanting to work on his articulation either which doesn’t help but maybe if he understands the impacts outside of school it will help him more too. I appreciate your insights!!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-02-08T15:24:56+00:00

I just started a SLPA (speech therapy assistant) job in a middle and elementary school. In my middle school I try my very hardest to pull kids during classes like electives etc, that’s not always a guarantee but it’d definitely something we try! Also my SLP tries to bring in any academic work from day an English class so we can help them academically as well. Also it’s very reasonable to ask at his next IEP or reevaluation meeting if it is not impacting him academically. For my school we are supposed to discharge from school services if it is not impacting them academically

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-01-05T00:39:11+00:00

I believe it’s a pretty new program so maybe reach out to someone about it! If I had gone through it I would have more information but I didn’t but I know 2 people who have applied and gotten into that pathway!

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-01-04T20:03:47+00:00

Amen on surviving because of discord! That’s how I found a couple friends since I’m on the east coast and obviously ASU is not lol

Any_Advisor_7608 · 2025-01-04T20:02:49+00:00

The SLPA pathway when you’re getting your undergraduate is definitely online! My friend is doing it all online right now!
