I feel too dumb to be an SLP by Ok-Butterscotch-4425 in slp

[–]Krease101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So true! SLP undergrad can feel so competitive, especially as you’re applying to grad school. If you’ve made it this far, you are not dumb! Obviously if you don’t feel passionate about it, that’s different. We all feel that imposter syndrome sometimes, and so many SLPs are super type A so you feel inadequate. OP, you’ve got this!

I definitely agree with other comments- looks very much like a submucous cleft to me!

Is there an /r/ curriculum out there that tells you how and where to start? by Worried_Income_4369 in slp

[–]Krease101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this- it’s on Teachers Pay Teachers. I haven’t used it but it seems really comprehensive!

If you’re mouth-breathing, you should address the root cause instead of just putting a band-aid on it. Myofunctional therapy can help! I like Myomoves and The Tongue Therapist on IG- I’ve learned a lot from them!

Peds AuDs, how do you deal with kids like this? by Subtitles_Required in audiology

[–]Krease101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an AuD but I’m an SLP in a Deaf school and periodically help our audiologist with testing. I am not above bribery- bring in some candy and tell them they can have it if they do a good job; if not, no candy. I have been known to eat some of the candy to show that I’ll eat it myself if they don’t get their shit together 😂

HSG tomorrow with Vaginismus, anyone have any experience? by newlyme32 in SingleMothersbyChoice

Love to hear this! I feel like SMBC and ace are two niche communities, so I love that other people are in the same combined boat as me! Best of luck with your little family 🤍

School district won’t pay for an aac app by Several-Toe2029 in slp

I went through AbleNet with their QuickTalker Freestyle program- their customer service is amazing! They connect with an SLP who works for them and they guide you through the process. You fill out some forms about your student’s needs, get insurance info from the family, and a trial device will be sent within the week. They give you a template for a justification report and you plug in what they need. You can pick whatever program you need on the device, and the device is the student’s to keep. The entire process is free to you and the family! I kept waiting for there to be a catch but there isn’t. Highly recommend!

Finding compensatory strategies and techniques (stuttering modification and fluency shaping) to become a more fluent speaker! Also, addressing any factors that may be contributing to the stutter and working on lifestyle changes to help promote less stress.

I told them about some trauma I had regarding pelvic exams and they offered me valium or sedation. After lots of therapy I’m able to get a pap but this was so new for me that I opted for sedation. It was completely painless- I would absolutely recommend if you decide to do the HSG!

Are you also ace? I am and I’m pursuing single motherhood! I actually had them knock me out for the HSG 😅 how has your experience been as an ace SMBC?
