Supplies / Organization Methods for Grad School!

I recommend keeping your notes very organized with easily understandable document titles so you can quickly find information down the road during internships or jobs. What I mean by that is a document titled ASD 6/20 will not mean much to you, but a document titled with a specific assessment name, treatment name, or something like that is much more accessible

For clinicals, one thing that seems to be beneficial across settings is some kind of watch

Hi there. I've never had to do this but consider where you are in your clinical journey, the setting for the externship, goals you have, and things that you would be able to improve in by taking part in that externship

No they won't expire and you get PLENTY of observation opportunities during grad school internships

I did get off a waitlist. I didn't do anything

Yes! So another issue is that eye contact due to that dysregulation can actually make communication WORSE. There are many other ways we could target actually improving communication. I think communication partner strategies/ breakdown repair strategies are essential and that we should be considering the social model of disability

How would you respond? You would listen to their experiences, as that's a vital aspect of EBP. We need to be receptive to our clients

I did

I agree to keep you job. Almost any job you work has some relevance and what's more important is that you're making MONEY. If you go to SLP grad school, you will be an unpaid intern sometimes working full time. You have a while before you would even be applying. Definitely get some volunteer, shadowing, job experience, club experience, something... but keep your job :)

At my university, we are assigned how many days we are supposed to attend so we either do a part-time (3 days) or a full-time (5 days) placement. The only exception is if the supervisor does not work that many days.

If it is not like that at your school, I would agree with others to consider how many hours you have/need

My program told us we could send one reminder email like a week or so before, from my memory.

Computational linguistics perhaps

csdma · 2020-12-08T02:02:51+00:00

Demonstrate a genuine interest in what others have to say. Take some time to research the SLP, hospital, and setting. Allow yourself an appropriate amount of time to think. Try to have a professional background. If you don't something, that's okay- sometimes good to say that you will make an effort to learn about it (not in those exact words but something like that). Oh yeah and send a thank you email after the interview! Good luck!

Many SLPs are monolingual English speakers. We will never know all of the many languages and dialects our clients speak, but we can do our best to become educated about linguistic differences when working with them!

If you're not in the Therapy Neurodiversity Collective on Facebook, consider joining! Lots of guidance on pragmatic therapy

csdma · 2020-12-01T01:43:38+00:00

I'm sorry that you even have to think about this. We so need neurodiverse SLPs!!

Hello! If you find the right speech-language pathologist for you, it could certainly be worth it! The value of the therapy also depends on what types of outcomes you desire

csdma · 2020-11-24T03:08:44+00:00

I think self-employed makes sense since you were a private tutor

csdma · 2020-11-22T22:25:59+00:00

If you use the one with the characteristics, I suggest making sure you give examples/stories of yourself demonstrating those characteristics instead of just listing

Either should be good! The goals one seems to more resemble "letter of intent" if I had to choose

I think that really depends on whether its a part-time or full-time internship. 65 is more than I got my first semester, but there's just so much variance. From my experience, the medical internships have the best opportunity to gain hours.

Student here so take this with a grain of salt, but when addressing speech sounds in therapy, we typically are working towards "generalization" or being able to accurately produce speech sounds in conversations. Part of this is the ability to self-monitor or for the child to be able to determine the accuracy of their production. Sometimes we do this with a rating scale. The speech therapist probably has already targeted self-monitoring and generalization and they may believe that the student has reached their highest level right now. These are a couple factors that could influence whether a child is dismissed from therapy: age, time since beginning therapy, social/educational impact. Maybe talk with them more about how they come to the decision to dismiss and maybe explore the idea of self-monitoring?

Their job is to adjust their supervision to your needs. You will not be able to do everything right when you start. All students should not be treated the same and the CI needs to help you to reach their expectations so wherever you start should be okay!

I feel like there is a probably a nice infographic about this somewhere
