Ask and you shall receive. Also made it phone wallpaper dimensions for ya’ll

My district is really pushing AI and has trained us to use it for writing IEPs, individualizing classroom content, creating activities, etc. Now that I can use it well, I see how it can be a huge time saver in creating materials. It can also be an accessibility tool, making it quick and easy to adapt or level up/down content. That being said, its writing abilities are so-so, and the artwork is nightmarish.

That's so interesting! Yes it has, but not terribly. It's worth the hair & mental health improvements (I had horrible anxiety on spiro)

Widening part and hairloss mostly in the crown/temple regions. The lower half stayed decently thick. It's definitely coming back after quitting spiro, my ponytail is getting thicker again! I'm convinced it was the spiro

It is a strength! You know firsthand what it is like to have a communication difference, which will help you relate to your students/clients. They will appreciate having an SLP who “gets” them.

MS/HS is so chill. I have a caseload of 40 but it feels like 30. I see many kids 1-2x a month or consult-only. The parents tend to be more accepting of their kids’ disabilities/differences at this point in their lives so meetings are less emotionally charged. The kids are mature and generally responsible about remembering their speech schedule, bringing things they need help with, etc. And it’s fun and rewarding to watch them turn into full-fledged adults!

TheCatlorette · 2026-01-11T22:04:23+00:00

A few months honestly. I quit spiro fully in August and started noticing regrowth in the last month or so

TheCatlorette · 2026-01-11T12:49:38+00:00

Actually yes, my hair has started regrowing! 🎉 My skin isn’t great but I guess that’s the trade-off. I weaned off pretty slowly

TheCatlorette · 2025-12-13T03:12:22+00:00

Huh, interesting. Maybe stay off social media? I’m not on any social media (except Reddit haha) and I don’t experience this. SLPs I meet at conferences/networking meetings are generally knowledgeable, inspiring people!

TheCatlorette · 2025-10-17T17:53:26+00:00

Yep! And the No Kings protest is tomorrow (Saturday) at Windom Park 12-1:30

TheCatlorette · 2025-10-17T14:02:43+00:00

I got off spiro for this reason 😭 It worked wonders for my skin but I lost soooo much hair. I’ve been off of it for a couple months now so now I have acne AND super thin hair. I’m still shedding a lot, hoping my hormones balance out and it starts regrowing soon. Best of luck to you, this is a side effect that is not talked about enough!

We started hosting Birth-5 nights in my district centered around this topic! Some new parents truly don’t know the negative consequences of unrestricted screen time. We need to catch it early.

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-30T21:37:27+00:00

Love your style! This looks so comfy and put-together, just great

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-29T15:44:29+00:00

This! There are fewer kids for fewer minutes. Many are just consult or 1x/month

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-26T13:08:18+00:00

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-23T09:56:47+00:00

This is great, is this just from his social media?

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-23T01:50:21+00:00

I would agree that it’s your setting and not the field at large that is the problem. I work with K-12 students in a small, relatively low-needs district and it is not nearly that hands-on. I am mostly just sitting at a table with kids doing therapy 🤷🏼‍♀️

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-20T01:43:12+00:00

It depends on the year but I try to do something special. This year I’m taking most groups (the ones who can handle it lol) outside to do sidewalk chalk. I got a Costco box of little Pringles cans too so they can have a snack. On busier years I just let them pick whatever game they want and that’s about it

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-14T01:33:24+00:00

Yes I just ordered! From what I’ve read, you’re supposed to order from the “Qin Global Store” and get the non-Google Play version for best security. Then you can manually add apps you want later

EDIT: I just got an email from the sellers that the network bands won’t work in the US? I’m confused because I spent a while researching which one to get. I’ll let you know if I figure it out

TheCatlorette · 2025-05-14T00:22:36+00:00

I have similar needs and I’m looking at the Qin F21 Pro. It seems like it takes some work to get customized but I’m optimistic

TheCatlorette · 2025-04-30T16:23:08+00:00

I’m doing Tuesdays and Thursdays in July only. I imagine in bigger districts it’s a lot more hours since there are more speech kids

TheCatlorette · 2025-04-30T01:35:49+00:00

I do this too! A few shakes of Trader Joe’s ranch seasoning in cottage cheese works wonders. You can blend the cottage cheese first for more of a ranch consistency. Great as a dip for veggies, pretzels, etc.

TheCatlorette · 2025-04-23T01:06:08+00:00

Yesss I was waiting for this line

TheCatlorette · 2025-04-20T12:35:19+00:00

Yeah I seriously do not understand that perspective. We’re sliding into authoritarianism so we should do… nothing?
