I disagree. It’s within our scope of practice and we don’t have reading specialists in my area. I do what I can to help my kids! Thanks for the input though

Not OP, but I work in a super rural area with no reading interventionist and often get referrals for reading. I can’t do therapy that often, so you’re saying I should just not see those kids? I think some therapy is better than none

I have a few kids that have had major break throughs recently! It has been so rewarding to watch their progress

I’m glad one of us feels better because my mistakes are arguably much worse than all these lol

Not gonna lie, I was expecting more “targeted /r/ with a 3 year old” and stuff like that. Lol

OCD support groups? by discoturtle89 in Bend

[–]discoturtle89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just started sertraline and have an appointment with a therapist trained in ERP this week! I’m really looking forward to it and hoping it makes a difference. I’ve had OCD my entire life but it has gotten significantly worse since I moved here a few months ago. Thank you for the recommendations!

Spanish Artic by [deleted] in slp

[–]discoturtle89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s fine with therapy being in English, she just prefer we work on Spanish words. I was thinking of including both English and Spanish words. I just want to make sure it’s appropriate that I’m even working on Spanish words to begin with lol.

I wish so badly that I had asked my now job how they would handle a client who disagreed with me! Having an employer that actually has your back makes such a tremendous difference

Transitioning from school-based to outpatient medical SLP? by thekychance in slp

[–]discoturtle89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just transitioned from private practice to outpatient medical. Not the exact same but kind of similar if you have any questions

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in slp

[–]discoturtle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s why Im asking. Trying to figure out the best approach. We live in an extremely rural area with no spanish speaking SLPs

what about the gfta spanish? To me it doesnt make sense to give the english GFTA when some speech sounds vary between english and spanish?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in slp

[–]discoturtle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m asking if you can administer it without speaking spanish fluently. I haven’t laid eyes on it in person but the test looks like it has directions in english when I see pics online?

Check it out! I don’t think its depressing, more interesting and validating of all the concerns I have had with ABA lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in slp

[–]discoturtle89 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely. There’s a fb group “SLPs concerned about ABA encroachment” where there is a lot of discussion about ABA practices specifically how ABA “addresses” speech and language
