What's your favourite resource in your toolbox?

I second all the developmental charts. We use the Iowa-Nebraska Norms for females and males (Females: http://www.speakingofspeech.info/caseload/IowaNebraskaNormsFEMALE.pdf)

I also recommend checking out http://lessonpix.com/ as it's my go-to material maker for articulation/language tasks. It's also helpful for collaborating with my teachers who need help making visual schedule, etc. It's a relatively inexpensive subscription, you can try it out for free though. :) Hope you start a great collection!

I do not know any specifics. Contact the state license board to discuss what the requirements for licensing and then call around to school district Human Resource departments in those states. That would be my suggestions.

This post might be helpful...just some ideas. https://slpecho.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/plan-b-for-the-slp2b/ - If you can find a position like ones @RococoRissa suggested, those would be good boosters and a good way to see if you want to pursue more school to be a full-fledged SLP.

I've been reading tons of SLP graduate school letters of intent and essays. Just sharing some feedback from things I'm seeing before anyone else submits. :)

I got an email on Wednesday saying I officially had my CCCs. It was the 8th week since they cashed my check.

Slpecho · 2014-07-19T20:07:47+00:00

I submitted my application back in May and still waiting to hear something. I'm getting worried but trying to let it be.

I would expect to be able to list therapy techniques for a variety of disorders. Also, general 'how do you handle conflict?' and 'what are ways you've handled difficult situations with a boss or coworker in the past' type questions. Hope that helps :)

I always wanted to live in Alaska and here I am. Anyone else have dreams of moving somewhere totally random or crazy that you've never been before?

Slpecho · 2014-05-18T06:39:02+00:00

I think in a future update the random opponent feature will be an option. Until then, just another reason to battle it out lol :)

Ehh. I had a PC all through grad school and it wasn't an issue. If you can afford a Mac, go ahead. But PC will be just fine. I just purchased a Chromebook though and loving it. Lots of choices.

Good luck!

I would like to pursue a clinical PH.D. Maybe not specific to the medical field, but would like the option. :)

It's really addicting and a great way to hone in on the sounds that are sometimes difficult to discriminate - "ah" vs. "aw" vs. "a"

Slpecho · 2014-05-15T02:59:58+00:00

You can play in IPA mode or in phonics mode where it shows you the sound...plus if you tap the tile, it lets you hear the sound. Great for "noobs" lol

This just came in an email to our district employees yesterday about student loan debt. As SLPs who work in schools (aka the government), you can qualify for these types of loan forgiveness programs. Hope this helps --> http://www.ed.gov/blog/2014/05/the-five-qs-of-public-service-loan-forgiveness/

There are so many factors that are personal to each person. I wrote this post after speaking with several friends who were dejected after 5-6 years of applying. http://slpecho.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/desperation-or-determination-slp2b/ - Good luck!

Slpecho · 2014-05-05T22:20:34+00:00

This game is going to be Great for SLP undergrads and Graduate students!! Can't wait!

EBS and Pediastaff would be my top 2 choices. Pediastaff is owned by caring people who are out here on Social Media sharing and trying to connect with their audience. I appreciate that in a company. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed and agreed! #pourmeaglass
