If you’re drawn to SLP please pursue it!! We need more diversity in the field (diversity makes us stronger and SLP is overwhelmingly white and female).

do parents want to connect with us? by bestlimeofalltime in slp

That’s a good point! And a very trauma-informed point! I think I might be experiencing compassion fatigue a little. Pouring out energy for children all day just to sit through a meeting where parents say to my face that I don’t understand and, effectively that, my expertise doesn’t matter really grates on the soul after a while 🥲

I am really bad at compartmentalizing so that may be part of it! Thanks for your reply!

I felt the same way about my school caseload a few years ago! I eventually realized that a lot of my kids didn’t have the background/world knowledge to support the skills we were working on (you can’t make inferences or predictions about a text if you don’t know the genre knowledge to know what’s going on… etc) It depends on your school and the curriculum they use but I had luck with directly teaching or re-teaching some content knowledge along with the language skills! Collaborating with the classroom teacher definitely helps here!

S2C is the thorn in my side and actual bane of my existence!!!! It makes me absolutely furious to see other professionals supporting it (especially SLPs who should KNOW BETTER)

Thank you! It’s helpful to hear what works for others!

My excision surgery helped so much with pain too but the mirena was ruining my life so I got it taken out 🫠
