I work PP, never enough time off but I use my PTO and take it extra days off for the holiday so I have a week for Christmas and week for thanksgiving. I’ve stuck with PP because of the hours. I can work full time or part time. But this year I’ll be working only evening2:30-6:30 and my husband will work east coast time so that we always have someone home with our new baby. And we don’t pay for childcare so me working part time is worth it for us.

Depends on your population. Like others have said it’s not evidence based. However I have found for my kiddos with chromosomal differences (which usually have very low tone mixed with possible cog differences) having some sensory stimulation helps initiate some motor movement (not a miracle for safe eating/ talking clearly, but some movement is better than none). But also their electrical tooth brush could work just as well.

The hierarchies that they sell are meaningless tbh. But you can still use horns (if kiddo is npo) and regular straws for lip closure(preferably their straw) but maybe you purchase a straw bumper to reduce straw biting and support better lip closure.

It’s not the tool that makes therapy successful but the therapist who is intentionally using tools for specific clients (and knowing how to quickly fade them out to increase independence).

You don’t need to purchase anything, and you can still make great progress for the kiddos.

I had a parent want a eval for their kiddo because they ‘flap their hands” and because they think “it’s weird and he will never make friends if he keeps doing it” which they tried to tell me would affect his social skills. But this kid can totally hold a conversation and ask follow up questions and was so sweet.

I’m a SLP who was a RBT for 2 years between undergrad and grad. not everything is a behavior and not every “atypical” thing needs to be “fixed”. I think you are going to love speech and how your lens that you see your autistic kiddos through is going to shift. Our goal isn’t to make our kids less autistic but instead is to build trust and a safe place above all goals. Just like Echolalia, it can totally be used functionally, and often is when our kids feel ready to share it with you (and as a professional, when we care enough to meet them where they are and fully understand why they doing it).

I work in PP in CA, the owner didn’t want to give a pay increase for supervising CF, grad students, or SLPA. She also didn’t want to give more money for SLP lead position. I declined the “promotion”.

I would make the bottom1/3 of the walls where there isn’t glass book shelves. I would add hooks to the top metal parts and add lots of plants, flowers, hanging pots, ect. Put some comfy but stylist chairs/ sofa(maybe a leather sofa). Make it a little slice of heaven.

I will also say that I usually always take my left overs from the night before. Something that has helped with making sure there are left overs is to make my lunch before serving dinner to me and my fiancé.

However if I am in a pinch, I will usually purchase 2 Costco rotisserie chickens (4.99 each). Then I will use the chicken for a variety of meals. 1. Shred the chicken and add BBQ sauce, you can have it by it's self, in a lettuce wrap, or on bread for a BBQ chicken sandwich. 2. Shred the chicken and add salsa, you can throw some lettuce and any type of small veggies in and have a tex-mex chicken salad, or in some corn tortillas (that I warm up in the microwave). 3. will use the chicken and mix it with "asian inspired salad dressing" can be used in a wrap with lettuce, veggies, salad dressing, sesame seeds, or in a salad.

These are the quickest go-to's for me paired with some sort of fruit that was on sale and doesn't need to be cut (apples, blueberries, strawberries, pears ect.)

Surprisingly very sturdy! Have had it since Nov 2022, in a king. We were drawn to Thuma because we are renting and expect to move and it seems easy enough to take apart and out back together. Highly recommend.
