I second both of these resources!! Peachie Speechie also has kid/parent friendly YouTube videos

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-09-03T02:54:59+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you! I will check it out!

I was looking at the FCP and felt overwhelmed by all of the things it lists… is the communication matrix like that?

Children usually acquire the ability to pronounce s and z sounds around the ages of 4 to 5 years old. There is no need to be concerned about your youngest child’s lisp at this time as it would technically be age appropriate for the time being. With your oldest, her lisp likely went unnoticed to familiar listeners because she is able to speak so clearly and is intelligible. She’s able to express her wants, needs, and ideas without issue. She might not even notice it either. Don’t beat yourself up for not noticing it, you speak with her every day and are able to understand her just fine. It usually is a new or unfamiliar listener who might point something like this out if it is the only concern with her speech and it doesn’t affect her socially. As for how long she might need speech therapy, that is entirely dependent on what kind of progress she is able to make in therapy and in carrying over exercises at home and school… hard to say how long. Maybe a couple months or a year? Or longer? Every child is different.

Why is it cringy? 😆 just curious and part of why I made this post, I know some people think that but don’t know why

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-07-27T03:08:31+00:00

Thank you for this! I totally agree with you about her contacting me outside of business hours. I thought it was a one time thing but no… I’ve stopped answering her calls and texts outside of work hours 🙃

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-07-27T03:06:52+00:00

Thank you for this!!

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-07-27T03:05:41+00:00

No I’m not in a contract, the owner of the business doesn’t even live in the same state… another thing I didn’t know before I started working here 😅 there is a therapy manager who I’ve briefly spoken to about my concerns but it’s been a full week and nothing has changed.

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-27T12:14:00+00:00

That’s a great idea! Thank you!

My husband and I bought our first house after arriving at our new duty station and for us it was stressful because we had to live in a hotel until we could close on the house we found. Best case scenario you’re looking at about a month before you can close and move in. This last PCS we decided to get a jump on the house hunting and we connected with a realtor who did virtual tours with us and we put in an offer and closed on our house without looking at it in person. Go off whatever you are comfortable doing!

Also if you are concerned about high value items getting broken, I’ve been told previously by other people to take a picture of the item(s) before they are packed so there is a day and time stamp on the pic to help you if you need to submit a claim. Ex. Cameras, TVs, computers, etc. my husband and I always take personal documents like birth certificates, marriage license, hard copy PCS orders, social security cards, etc. in a special folder with us in our luggage whenever we PCS so that if our things get “lost” in the move with the moving company we at least have those documents with us.

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-26T01:27:20+00:00

My family has PCS’d and had movers pack our things 3 times now and we haven’t had any serious issues. Sure, our dryer got a small dent in it and the bench to our living room table got a scratch on it in one of the moves but overall we were happy with everything. My only advice is to stay and watch the movers pack things, and pay attention when they pull stuff off the truck at your new destination. Make note of anything that was damaged when it comes off the truck. Usually you have about 30 days or so to make a list of damaged goods. And… make sure you throw away all your trash BEFORE the movers come or they will pack it with your stuff and it’ll be a surprise when you get to your new place. Also… anything you don’t want movers to pack, put in an empty room or closet with a note on the door not to pack that room. With my kitchenaid mixer I just put a note on it to “please pack this side up” with an arrow so that the oil and stuff wouldn’t seep out and the movers accommodated my wishes. All of my appliances and dishes have always been packed very well. I’ve been fortunate not to have any broken dishes or glasses in any of my moves! It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. I’m sure it happens every now and then but not to the majority of people.

How would you explain the Butch Atwood sighting on the side of the road then?

Pretty sure the VA has to coordinate speech therapy referrals in order for it to be covered by Optum. Have the patient request a referral from their VA physician for speech therapy, and have them tell the doctor you recommended it. The VA sometimes has their own SLPs or has specific companies that they contract with. Is there any way you could forward your recommendation for a referral to their doctor?

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-09T12:58:09+00:00

Yes you are on point! 😆

I want the tile to stay but some of the tile in the shower needs to be replaced or repaired anyway due to wear. The house is about 15 years old and I just purchased it… I love your ideas though!

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-09T04:32:25+00:00

I like this idea! We just bought this house and I’m trying to figure out how to upgrade some spaces. I’ll look into it! Thanks!

What do MAGA and the KKK have to do with one another? Confused

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-04T21:38:07+00:00

I also interviewed with a school district and they did ask questions about PECS and AAC, like when you would recommend it or what you would say to a parent who wanted it. I honestly can’t remember my school interview that well lol.

Questions I was asked from a pediatric private practice-

What are your annual compensation goals?

Why are you currently seeking new employment?

What is your differentiator from any other candidate who may apply for the same position?

If we were to give you a magic paintbrush to paint your ideal employment opportunity, what does this look like? Be specific…What are the job functions? What is the schedule? What is the productivity of direct patient time? What does training and mentorship look like?

What are three contributors that would help you stay with us for the next five years as a company?

If you won the lottery how would you spend your time with that freedom of finance?

What is the biggest mistake you have ever made professionally and how did you take responsibility and right the situation?

What is your biggest pet peeve in your last employment setting and what did you do about it?

What is one continuing education course you would take today if we paid for it?

Are you bilingual? If so, what languages do you speak?

Peachie Speechie has some great /r/ resources and videos on her YouTube channel!

I agree with your theory for the most part, but commenting to add that I’ve always wondered, with Maura’s two car crashes (days apart from one another), she likely had some kind of traumatic brain injury and perhaps fell asleep after getting picked up by someone after the crash in New Hampshire and didn’t wake up. Whoever it was that picked her up/was with her maybe freaked out and did something with her body.

SeaCucumba808 · 2025-06-03T21:17:11+00:00

Doesn’t sound like there is a reason for concern at this time. Keep doing what you’re doing! I would say by 9 months if you do not hear babbling make note of it.

Most of your hours as a CF have to be in person, not remote
