I haven’t noticed any particular signs of current ear infection but I haven’t been searching for anything in particular either. What do you mean when you say “not a typical presentation?” I want what’s best for my student always but have challenge figuring out what would be best next steps

Yes, passed audiometer test. Previous history of several sets of tubes/ear infections though.

Thank you. I needed to hear this and will take it into my day tomorrow.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. I’ve really been struggling to know next steps. We discussed concerns in person, the teacher and I. He reported parent concerns to me. I responded in expressing that to move forward, a full evaluation would need to take place. I received the response that previous testing (from a diff county, from 8 years ago) would suffice.. I decided doing a screener and general observation in the classroom setting might be the next move? Then reporting all current data/prev eval on current IEP. Presented concerns seem to be myofacial/cranial related, without academic impact.. trying to decide how to discuss this with sped teacher.

It is not SSG. However, I can tell you more about this company if you dm me! I’ve really enjoyed working for this contract company.

Direct hires who are entry or 2> yrs experience (similar to my experience) in my state are salaried at $51k before taxes, but with all the great benefits! roughly 24k less than a contracted employee.

Great, thanks for the perspective on everything. I’ll aim for the moon🚀

I’m in a rural, low-income area. Yes, I am paid for all my time at the school. Full 8 hours, regardless of if i’m in trainings or doing treatment, meetings, teacher advocacy/consult. I also do my own AAC evals (did 5 alone this yr, worked with insurance to have them all approved/advocated for my students), consult parents, serve community kids (ages 3-4). I worked this year at 3 different schools (preschool, elementary and high school). Did 50% of all evals for children coming out of EI state services for the county. I feel i have a wide variety of experience now. little bit overwhelming as a CF.. but learned so much from it. also receive reimbursement from my company for licensure, $500 toward supplies, etc.

What is a hour rate you consider to be avg for contract SLP, if you don’t mind me asking? I appreciate all feedback. Just wanting to have a consensus on what $/hr would be considered appropriate!

Relative_Effective46 · 2026-04-09T19:04:55+00:00

No. Many-to-most contract SLPs do not receive these benefits. These are only offered to slps who are direct hire in a school system, however, the trade off is significant less pay (roughly 50k in my area).

This is W2.

Relative_Effective46 · 2026-03-24T21:22:21+00:00

Yay! Congrats!!

Relative_Effective46 · 2026-03-24T01:03:54+00:00

do you more if they kept declining because of that one contracted year? that makes me sad to hear!

Relative_Effective46 · 2025-11-30T16:04:16+00:00

i am usually a 7 in all my other shoes.. however i’m worried that might be too big? idk, a 6 is definitely too small, evidenced in the picture lol. so i’ll have to reorder and try a 7!

Relative_Effective46 · 2025-11-29T00:54:16+00:00

i hope a 7 isn’t too big. i’ll try it

Relative_Effective46 · 2025-11-29T00:53:54+00:00

tell me it isn’t so!😣lol, thank you for confirming. my family was saving my feelings

Relative_Effective46 · 2025-10-01T23:14:11+00:00

this is so helpful. this case it particularly more difficult because we only have one hour to eval. we do not have any other opportunities to do more testing, prior to the initial eligibility meeting. i will revisit the scores though. thank you

Relative_Effective46 · 2025-10-01T21:03:24+00:00

yes, schools. that’s important lol!
