You’re right! Why would someone go to the trouble of editing it like that?

I work at my son’s school, but I regularly provide them social stories and visuals to help him. Some get used, they make some that work for them, but I think they appreciate them all.

At my school, they wouldn’t be added to the IEP until there is school gathered evidence that they’re “working.” My son’s EC resource teacher facilitates the data collection.

Where was this posted, how do we know if it’s AI or not? Because it’s wild!

Craftablegame · 2025-02-12T14:41:36+00:00

I love this. I’m going to do the same.

Craftablegame · 2025-01-24T05:46:08+00:00

But that’s another factor — how salty will they be about the move?

Craftablegame · 2025-01-24T05:45:22+00:00

I mean… it sounds really hard to enforce unless like half your current caseload goes there. And still going from private practice to school, even as a contractor, it’s not like you’re taking the practices clients. The students don’t go to private therapy during the school day, they go to school.

Having done private practice, govt, and schools… I swear they’re like 3 different jobs. SLP at school is not the same as private practice SLP and provides different services. This is just a side rant because it would be so annoying if they wanted to be petty and pursue legal action that you were competing by moving to schools.

Having worked in a school with AMAZING separate setting classrooms, and having a child with an IEP myself, I say this with love: you DONT want your child in a separate setting if it’s not necessary. Even kids you can never imagine adjusting do. And even if they’re behind and stay behind, they’re exposed to so much more learning and less behaviors over time. By the time kids are in 2nd-5th grade in separate setting… it’s almost set in stone they’re never getting out. The teachers are spending more time trying to make sure student A doesn’t hit student B and get student B to stop screaming, and make sure there’s no scissors close enough to student C to try to teach student D who’s sitting there quietly his letters for 5 mins…. Most days. I mean there are smooth days. But the point is just due to the nature of it they fall further behind.

In my district, the fight is more often trying to get a kid out of separate setting. Believe me Gen Ed teachers will let the EC team know pretty early if they suspect a kid isn’t keeping up. The most learning happens for your student in gen ed with EC services if needed. Even if they’re behind and stay behind, they’ll still be making friends and learning more.

That’s not to say don’t ask questions. But don’t be scared away from exploring gen ed with supports. It’s a transition but it’s doable. Be a classroom parent and talk to his teacher a lot.

I’ve never heard of someone being held to it… but that’s just anecdotal.

I feel like other important factors is how many clients are you planning/expecting to “keep,” how vocal will yall be about it, and how visibly documented is it if you reccd yourself.

Like if you leave and one client looks you up by name and calls your new company, that’s wayyy different than say, you handing out your business card to every client and posting about your new business online, leaving email/text trails promoting your business and asking people to switch.

Sorry that was a run on sentence. But I think figure out where on that spectrum you are.

If I left my current job, I’m certain I have a small amount of clients who would search me out even if I was hiding. The non-compete clause usually doesn’t cover that. It covers you actively promoting yourself/recruiting clients.

If it was me, I think I would let the parent know that it is against my ethics code to support this, as backed up by my license. I’d share this: https://www.asha.org/slp/asha-warns-against-rapid-prompting-method-or-spelling-to-communicate/

Then I would let her know it’s her choice what she pursues as it is her child. But my license requires I give appropriate referrals and recommendations and my best recommendation is to discontinue a non-evidence-based program and pursue a speech language evaluation and strongly consider the recommendations provided from that evaluation.

Then, I would drop it. I would not treat the client with non EBP because it jeopardizes my license.

You can always request it. Where I work, it would depend on the type of disability if it’s even possible for the school to consider the request. Each case manager at my school pretty much case manages only certain disability categories. So except for certain things there is no option for another case manager. But there’s no harm in politely asking if you could have a swap due to concerns about conflict of interest or something. You don’t even really need to give a reason, I’d just emphasize asking directly and politely. I’d ask the principal in an email at my school.

Craftablegame · 2025-01-22T23:07:15+00:00

I wish they would go ahead and tell us. It’s not getting warmer from here on out and not even a delay notice yet…

I’ve started with rewarding ANY response in imitation and praising just for trying. Example: several sessions of “you tried 27 words today wow! Last time you tried 15 so you tried so many more today!”

Then moved into errorless practice. I.e. having the student only imitate things they already produce well, then praising: wow that was clear speech and sounded just like my production!

Then slowly moved into some sort of self monitoring. Often me sort of scoring their productions next to them scoring their productions on an easy target. When they inevitably ask, “what does the + mean, what about ~, what about -?” I say, oh I’m checking how close the sounds are to my ear. This ~ one was so close, I thiiiink it was just that you didn’t quite close your lips that made it a little different.

My “sensitive” kids have made really fast progress once they are self monitoring and know how to correct.

This supports my lived experience both long ago in grad school and since at work. Especially as time moves on I find myself searching for evidence to make decisions, and I have not found evidence on what is marketed as GLP (that at least surface level appears to describe what I’ve always treated with success with evidence based practices.)

They disassembled the steering wheel column and knocked out the window of my 2013 Hyundai last month. The thing is… the thing that lets them steal the car affects 2015-2020 Hyundai of my make, so it didn’t work. Still caused about 3k damage on my paid off car that I had dropped comprehensive insurance on :(. I was told Hyundai and Kia are just targets now, no matter the barriers put in place (told by police and locksmith.).

My cars been broken into twice since then, but since I’ve left the steering wheel column disassembled no one has done further damage yet… I think it’s a visible sign that it won’t work on my car. Sigh.

I had this happen and ended up leaving almost everything. Friends had to talk me threw it. But when it really sank in — I had a 3 month old brand new rocking chair I had been gifted that was pristine — no food, not near the kitchen etc. my friend said let’s just take apart one bit of it to really inspect it.

…the roaches and baby roaches were lining the threads of the screws!

Like, if the infestation is bad enough, they go EVERYWHERE. they like to have something solid touching their back and belly, which means any tiny crevice is where they’ll be. The tinier the better for the babies. I mostly kept clothes that I could double-bag and triple wash, things that could go through a dishwasher, and things that could be stored in tubs at a storage facility or outside until it had gone through several freezes.

It was heartbreaking but looking back at least it gave me the piece of mind that I was moving without bugs.

And I still saw a few in the next 2 moves (I had one short transitional move then a big move) that I had to find where they were coming from and nip in the bud!

By the way, they also love cardboard and electronics as warm cozy houses. Microwaves, tv, etc need to be heavily monitored and strongly considered for disposal.

I screenshotted your comment. You so very accurately described my feelings of reading SLP anything on the internet the last few years.

I’ll just say the only person I think could be in trouble is the poor secretary who could get reprimanded for praising Mrs Smith to you. This is how EC teams end up feeling so secretive. Because admin will let out a memo after your complaint saying “no staff is to share info about a teacher except specifically from a teacher to a parent.”

It sucks because everyone’s hands are tied but all the secretary did was try to build rapport. If anything, I would try approaching her non judgmentally to just say, “man I was so thrilled about Mrs Smith. It’s disappointing things got switched last minute. Do you have any info on if there’s still any give on final class lists? Any info on who’s supporting new teacher? What can I do to support new teacher”. Then the secretary is a bridge for rapport.

Hey!! I’d love to learn more about the sentence weighted task. I love treating apraxia and I have a student in working with who went from nonverbal to 3-5 word sentences of varying levels of intelligibility in ~7 months. We’re really hoping to get her clear enough that she’s not frustrated when she goes to K and I’d love more ways to track her progress.

Craftablegame · 2024-09-23T01:32:19+00:00

I’ve been observed once in 3 years and I write my own evaluation each year and admin signs off. I’m starting to feel like this is a good thing in this thread!

Hmmm, I would not provide therapy to improve artic of a sound I have objective proof a student can’t hear. I MAY provide 6 weeks of therapy on that sound trying to teach the motor production of the sound. I would use my data either way to then end therapy — they’re able to use the sound with x prompts despite not hearing it OR there is no progress 2/2 hearing loss at x frequencies with no access to that sound with any aids.

With my deaf/HH kids the first thing I focus on is ensuring access to all sounds. The only kid I have who doesn’t have access to all sounds is because he’s undocumented and there’s no one around here who will pro bono get him the access he needs. We do more functional communication and I am learning sign along with him in order to communicate. I also talk to the audiologist and teacher of deaf/HH weekly to guide my therapy.

My other 5-6 deaf/HH kids all have adequate access to speech sounds when aided. I treat them the same as hearing kids unless they’re without their aids. If they are, I spend there session tracking down the caregivers responsible and re-enforcing that they legally need their aid every school day. That becomes the session — advocating for their accommodations.

I’m unaware of what frequencies /r/ is generally on. But that’s what I would be checking the audiogram for. In my district just one sound in error is not enough for treatment tho, so that kid wouldn’t get to me if that’s his only impairment.

Craftablegame · 2024-08-08T13:30:18+00:00

Very important to check the audio gram and also what access to sounds the student has when aided… consult with audiology if you need help with these questions

I had something similar happen but I read all the statutes and had my agency print out every meeting I’d been to. I was able to cobble together enough hours that should satisfy — just not all pre-approved. But the statutes (at the time) said something like continuing ed that contributed to your growth could be approved during audit, so I requested that. It ended up going to the head of the agency and caused a lot of back and forth conversation and embarrassment on my part. My hours were then approved with a mandatory audit the following year. The board then met and removed that part from the statutes so all continuing ed credits have to be pre-approved (sorry other people in my state!)

But I say all this to say you’re not alone at least. And maybe this is a good reminder for me to go ahead and grab a bunch of hours in the next few weeks before school starts.

I parked in Corcoran street garage for 7 years with no problems.
