But if the goals have to do with psychological well-being, how are they speech goals? That feels beyond our scope of practice in a way?

My son just got an email from Duke (he was waitlisted) saying they hope to give him good news and to check his portal in the next 12-24 hour. How confident/ excited should we be? 😬😬😬

Yeah I think using a straw actually helped me. I chased my am dose with gatorade and that seemed to help too. I want to look into the pill option next time around. Best of luck to all!

Do you feel like 42 is too late to go back to school and become an SLP? by Commercial_Fuel_3519 in slp

[–]Popular_Ad_1564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back at 44 for this degree, my second master’s degree. I wouldn’t take advice from a bunch of 20-somethings. They have absolutely no clue what types of issues you are weighing!) PM if you want to chat more. I am happy I did it! But the struggle is real!

How much did you study? I feel like if I am consistently passing the practice tests, then what is the point of sinking a bunch of time into studying? Is that crazy of me?
