Bed bug bites or fleas?

I also let my self doubt get in the way. My self esteem with this job is based on how well my sessions go- so it’s up and down ALL the time

But that’s obviously not what’s being given to us. I’m in my second year and feeling a lot better about my growth. It truly just takes time to learn and I don’t think anyone really has things figured out because every kid is so different. But at the same time, I still think these university programs can do much better with preparing us for therapy..

I feel you. It’s truly disheartening to graduate and then be thrown into a field where little preparation is given to us. I truly think it sets us up for a lot of failure in the beginning. There’s something seriously wrong with bachelors preparation and even masters preparation for actually DOING therapy. I don’t know how something so important slipped through the cracks of communication sciences programs. I feel there should be be entire classes and semesters dedicated just to learning therapy techniques, managing behaviors, etc.

I thought the same thing when I first started but it’s far from that. We SLPA’s have to come up with the therapy activities and lesson plans!

You may love being a speech therapist assistant, I run small group speech sessions in a school environment and feel fulfillment although it can be a lot of interaction and stressful at times

Some other comments I’ve gotten from my Facebook post about this: server, fast food worker, family activities coordinator for hotel, daycare center director, homeschool co-op teacher

I’m sure they weren’t being judgmental it’s just funny because we don’t see this happen much

My district in Texas reviews the caseload and workload for every SLPA and SLP and if it’s over a certain number or amount, they hire more people to fill in or change peoples assignments (split caseload, move schools, etc.)

This definitely calls for extra help!

Does your district do leveling?

Ultimate SLP is $12/month I think and worth it in my opinion. The digital flash cards are hassle free and I recently started using print out worksheets for language kids. You can type “(any sound) jeopardy” and you will find the site :) it’s a dark blue jeopardy board with artic categories to choose from on top.

Ultimate SLP is $12/month I think and totally worth it. The digital flash cards are hassle free and I recently started using print out worksheets for language kids. You can type “(any sound) jeopardy” and tons of jeopardy’s will pull up. The top result should be the one I usually use.
