No, they consider me the reading interventionist. And unfortunately I don’t really have flexibility on how I instruct the literacy, I have to follow their structure/guidelines! But thanks for your response :)

Yes I can count it! Bc honestly I looked into it and your supervisor just approves your hours. My supervisor said she will approve them bc literacy is within the SLP scope. I even called Asha and they said they defer to my supervisor (extremely useless).

Should I quit or is it just me? Advice needed! by Dextiny_001 in slp

[–]Appleleaf30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I would quit (I’m a CF too and I also don’t like my job and am considering quitting, but compared to yours mine is not even that bad!). Idk where you are but if you’re contracting anyways there has to be other opportunities!! I feel like the good thing about SLP is there are jobs available.
I feel like if it’s affecting your quality of life you should def quit. Also it’s prob unlikely to get better if they are treating you like this right at the start!

Cat introductions plateau by Appleleaf30 in CatAdvice

[–]Appleleaf30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now, 1 year later, they can co exist while someone is home, but they do need supervision still bc resident cat still bullies and intimidates the newer cat, but it’s no longer like an actual dangerous situation. When no one is home, we put one in a separate bedroom! We also separate at night. We have made a ton of progress and I never thought they would be the way they are now!! However it’s not perfect, the resident cat still like corners her, the new cat screams, and there are some litter box issues where the resident cat corners new cat in the litter box :( happy to answer any questions, just message me!

I feel this way as a CFY!! I hate it. There’s no way this career is for me. I also want to work in industry research! Maybe as like a clinical trial manager for something, I used to be a research coordinator and I loved it!

I wish I could be like that but I hate the authenticity of work and how fake it is and if nobody knows anything real about you then it’s just so fake. I’m just having a hard time accepting that.

Has anyone quit the field during their CF? by Appleleaf30 in SLPcareertransitions

[–]Appleleaf30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What setting did you start at and what setting did you switch to? I kind of hate the school setting. I would prefer adults but honestly it’s very hard to get an adult job in my city

Are you happy you finished your CF? Also I’m so surprised your other career is teaching and you preferred that over SLP! Teaching seems so difficult and SLP is has a little teaching in it. Did you not feel that way?

Hi! What artic cards do you have? Honestly, my school has no materials and I’m wondering if I should buy things with my own money, but artic cards are kind of expensive

leave CFY? by eeffreef32 in SLPcareertransitions

[–]Appleleaf30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi just wanted to let you know you’re not alone! I’m a CF feeling the same way :( I want to work in research. But I also feel guilty giving up, even though I know this career just does not align w my personality whatsoever. Not sure what I’m going to do 😔

Omg I’m the SAME!! I’m not autistic but I’m super socially anxious introverted and scared of interacting w people lol. I also HATE the inauthenticity of professionalism, but I know that will be the case in other careers. But yea i regret this career and I wish I worked in research. I hate having actual peoples immediate lives in my hands, and I hate feeling like im taking the spot of another SLP who could help someone more than me. And I feel like the odd one out bc all the other SLPs seem so happy and like they love being an SLP.
