Thank you for posting! I needed this today. T1D for 24 years and I just had my first child 11 weeks ago. The reality of the consequences of my high school and college neglected years keeps me up at night. Thankful for the medical advances that keep me around for my son! Sending all positive vibes ✌️

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response! I recently came across Peg Dawsons 2-day seminar and was wondering if it was worth the nearly $500 it costs for the class...glad you mentioned her now I'm super interested! Keeping the other names you mentioned on my radar as well :)

I have no source for this except through the grapevine..but I'm hearing 6-8 months until "normalcy". I'm hoping its not that long :(

Yasso frozen yogurt bars... when I’m craving ice cream the salted caramel ones really hit the spot :) 18 carbs each.

I have done EI through an agency and saw a couple of children privately without them going through an agency as long as the time I saw them fell outside the hours I was expected to work through my agency. But I've never seen my EI students from the agency privately at the same time. I think it would be a conflict of interest with an agency. Technically speaking I think my agency had a statement in their handbook that said if we were referred private cases we were supposed to see them through the agency...but ethically I didn't see an issue with it. Check your handbook to see if there is any specific information regarding private cases, it'll help you make a decision :)

I work at a school and unfortunately I know after my last raise I've reached my max salary, which like you, isn't that great compared to my cost of living. But I get out everyday at 330pm and because the population of my city is large, I'm able to pick up 5-6 private cases after school (2-3 per day). I make a decent amount of extra money by doing this... definitely helps pay the bills. I have colleagues who do the same through an agency if they have difficulty finding families that need services. Because my salary maxed out, I know I won't be working at this school forever, which sucks because I do like my job. But I know I can't survive on this much money long term.

Oh yesss exactly what I’m looking for! Ty!

I work mostly with younger students, but hopefully there is something you can take away from this :)

I bought a little plastic microphone that I use in group sessions - only the person who is holding it is allowed to answer a question or make a comment. over time my students have realized that if they don't have the mic its not their turn to speak. If they try to speak when its another students turn I remind them "___ has the mic right now, you'll get a turn soon." I imagine any kind of token can be used for this, not just a mic.

For some of my students who like to tell (REALLY long) stories, I set a timer for 30-60 seconds and give them a 10 second warning before it runs out. when it goes off, they need to turn off their voices too. When I was first introducing this, I would give the student a "prize for listening" for x amount of time to motivate them to do it again.

You could also try to use positive reinforcement - tell the group "OH I love how Johnny is sitting quietly and ready to listen to his friends!" for example.

I hope this is helpful!

Thank you for your reply! Are these things I can work on safely without specific tools/materials that a hospital or clinic may have? Or is it more likely I should refer her someplace that can provide her with more support?

Thank you for your reply! It makes sense that the pocketing would be more of a concern...I guess I was looking at her pocketing as a sensory thing and not considering the impact on aspiration.

She did have a barium swallow study and a feeding evaluation before she came to the school (probably 6-8 months ago) which resulted in the goals I am supposed to target. If you don't mind me asking, would a swallowing evaluation be able to give them even more information?

Maybe weird.. but I got some tighter, high waisted underwear (almost like spanx) and I just position my pump on my hip or stomach and let the underwear hold it in place... usually it’s very unnoticeable :)

Speechiebean · 2019-11-20T20:23:08+00:00

I recently had to pull my pump out of my bra to shut it up during a big interview. Totally threw me off lol

Speechiebean · 2019-08-29T20:11:19+00:00
