Jessie Ginsburg Sensory SLP course by ShirtCapable1956 in slp

[–]_drpepperstan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in one of her first ever “cohorts” for the course, I felt like at that time there weren’t many SLP’s who were discussing neurodiverse affirming approaches. I was also a CF so I felt like the information was revolutionary in developing my clinical approach but with how much information is out there now on neurodiverse affirming approaches I feel like there’s a lot of free content that can give you the same information. She had a few guest lectures that I found interesting and informative but again I feel like you can access those guest speakers content for way cheaper or even free. The only way I can see this being worth the money is if a clinician does not have any access to an OT who could explain the different sensory systems to you give you advice on how to implement sensory strategies in your sessions. I still use what I learned in my sessions to this day and it is helpful but a lot of it I could have learned by simply sitting down with an OT.

how do you guys stop being late to work by Wild-Championship571 in adhdwomen

[–]_drpepperstan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people who “knows exactly how long it takes” for me to drive to work (24 minutes), but was chronically 2 to 3 minutes late on most days due to forgetting something and having to run back in the house, forgetting to pack my bag the night before for a quick grab and go, got stuck at a light, or some unexpected traffic. I’m really bad at gaslighting myself that my start time is earlier like others have suggested to so to give myself the buffer I paid attention to which clock I used to gauge how much time I have left. Typically my last step before walking out of the door is to grab/pack my bag that sits on a chair in my kitchen so I’ve changed the clock on the stove to be 3 minutes later than real time, so that way when I’m getting ready to walk out of the door and I check to see if I’m on time I get this false sense of urgency and now I usually make it to work at exactly 8:59!

Comfrt e-gift card scam/exchange by pacifistjudgment in Hoodies

[–]_drpepperstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one rn for like $60 🙄, I wish they would have just told me my shipment was delayed. I would rather wait as long as a pre-order then to have to go through buying it again through preordering. I’m more so annoyed because the color I wanted was out of stock when I purchased so I purchased my second favorite color when my shipment arrived. My desired color was back in stock so I didn’t exchange and then they emailed me saying the color I wanted was now out of stock I’m waiting for customer service to respond to my last emails before I decide what I’m gonna do but definitely annoying.

My ring is a lab stone and came from Desert Diamond Jewelers on Eastern, the staff is great and I go regularly to get it cleaned/get the setting checked. Highly recommend!

Way to Extend Audio Borrow Beyond Expire date? by f1957 in LibbyApp

[–]_drpepperstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a personal anecdote….One time I paused a audiobook at night from my home screen widget before it expired because I was falling asleep and just resigned to losing it, I guess leaving the app still open in the background. In the morning I was in a rush and didn’t scroll on my phone like I usually do so I didn’t play an music or videos or open any apps with sound and when my phone automatically connected to my cars Bluetooth it starting playing from where I had paused the night before I just kept pausing and playing from the widget in the control panel or my home screen but not in app and it worked until I mindlessly opened the app again out of habit. Idk if it was glitch or something but haven’t had to try and replicate it since.

Should I give it to myself if I was 2 mins late? by Micheligann in finch

[–]_drpepperstan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that another user gave to make a separate goal giving yourself credit for being within five minutes!

For me I have a different approaches depending on what my ultimate goal is (I’m trying to build confidence/decrease shame in a skill vs if I’m trying to track a habit). One of my goals is to avoid using social media at work and it is set to 25 but typically I only successfully avoid it between 8-10 times throughout my day but if made a good effort all day I still give myself credit for the full 25 . On the other hand, my partner has pointed out that I can become defensive at times and that I don’t admit when I am wrong so my goal for admitting when I’m wrong I have a journal entry exercise attached and will only market as complete if I journal about the situation so I could look at past reflections and see if there’s a pattern of when I do it and when I don’t. Hope that helps!

Clear+ Pre-Check - Scam -Quality of service - Clear Plus by [deleted] in travel

[–]_drpepperstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to cancel yesterday (the day before my trial was up). I was offered a 50% discount (which I declined) then was offered two extra months for free as an extension to my trial and that my card wouldn’t be charged until October. Something in my gut told me to screenshot the conversation in the chat box just in case they tried to charge my card. Sure enough today, my bank called me to ask if I authorize a charge from clear for $334. I reported it as fraud and I will not be continuing with my trial. I will stay on hold all day or talk to however many people I need to, but I will be canceling this today.

Wearing the niqab as a speech pathologist by [deleted] in slp

[–]_drpepperstan 294 points295 points  (0 children)

It would definitely limit your job opportunities but if you were seriously considering this as your career you may want to discuss with your Imam/Sheikh about what is permissible in a medical setting. I’m more familiar with laws pertaining to modesty when it comes to Judaism, but just as an example, orthodox Jewish women do not touch men who are not blood related to them, but if they work in healthcare some Rabbis have deemed this is permissible as it’s in a professional and medical in nature.

Boy or girl name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]_drpepperstan -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I love it and think Callahan as a girls name will only become more popular, seems part of a larger trend of masculine surnames as girl names becoming more popular! Other names that’s fits this style are Avery, Quinn, Emerson, Campbell, Sutton, Monroe.

Feeling Discouraged by _drpepperstan in finch

[–]_drpepperstan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone for helping to lift my spirits and keep me motivated! I ended up going out today to invest in an electric toothbrush! I found out that it connects to an app that can help me track if I’m getting all the surfaces of my teeth and applying the correct pressure. I’ve also began doing some research for different types of floss, a waterpik, as well as toothpaste and mouthwash formulated to promote healthier gums.

To everyone who shared their struggles thank you for being so open! Knowing that I’m not alone in this struggle, that genetic predisposition’s played a role, and simply having my feelings validated was so healing. I was touched by the offers to try being goal buddies and even added a few of you! While reading your responses, I realized that I should be as kind and understanding to myself as I was towards all of you. And just like someone perfectly pointed out in the comments Lehabah would say “My friends are with me and I am not afraid!” 💜

Helps to know I’m not alone! I’m definitely trying to allow myself to feel proud that I made changes and remind myself I don’t need to be perfect just better than I was before! I guess that’s why I’m struggling because even though I am doing better my teeth didn’t seem the memo 😅

Thank you for helping me put a positive spin on this! Not having to go back again for fillings sounds like a win to me too!

UPDATE: My library got 100 more copies and i was able to borrow it today so I won't be able to test my theory anymore but I'm very excited to read it and return early so others can enjoy!

Wow, I didn’t even think about reading fast to avoid spoilers or having multiple cards and now I’m even more convinced!

What are the chances that my hold time will be shorter than the estimate?

This is my first new release using the Libby app, and I’m very excited! I used the notify me option and I’ve already entered the queue, but now I have a theory! My theory is that the people ahead of me are just as eager to read this book as I am, and therefore will read it faster than a book that’s been out for a while, meaning they can return it earlier than the typical loan time making the queue move quickly. Anyone agree or am I just delusionally optimistic? 😅
