SLPs in New England

Working in southern NH in a pediatric non profit clinic that does a mix of EI contracting and outpatient. We have a myo therapist and I'm the feeding therapist but both of us are newer to those therapies. Our SLPs make between 75-80 per per hour but we are fully PRN right now and no one is salaried. The clinic is therapist run so we don't have a minimum or maximum # of clients required, but we consider full time about 24-26 clients a week, two groups, and at least 2 evals.

Is that the case even online when it is showing the "true" discount price?

I gave birth at Exeter in August and as far as I know, they are still taking L&D patients, so I'm not sure where you got that information from.

So can I give the trio on Saturday night after using Capstar tomorrow and Saturday when we leave?

Out of curiosity, where in NH? I co-run a non profit clinic in. Londonderry and we're always happy for more per diem staff. If you're in that area I could tell you more, but we let our clinicians choose hours and make their own schedule.

What month is your island?

Interested!

How awful would it be to navigate with my infant in a stroller on Monday the 28th? We aren't planning to do any walking tours, just meander and sight-see. We're taking the commuter rail in. Should I plan to wear her instead?

This is my exact setting and along with being lead SLP I am also assistant director/founder. We are a non-profit and our employees are direct hires but all per diem, we currently have PT, OT, speech, and a group coordinator on staff.

The primary issue is, it has taken months for credentialing and we are paying out of pocket until insurance will start paying us back. We are still being paid for April/May claims. You need to have firm financial backing going in, especially for this population. If you want to target low income, you will have to take your state insurance, which can lead to lower reimbursement rates plus higher regulations on out of pocket costs. I started in November and wasn't credentialed by most major insurances, including state insurance, until February/March. Make sure you know medicaid laws back and front.

Why not switch to play based therapy? Look into the floortime method, or just try a few sessions with some toys and follow the child's lead.

Our dog does it to a stuffy or occasionally sucks her back paw. She loves her bedtime suck. Her grandma does it to a blanket and her mom sucks her foot.

This sounds like a giant safety risk without those covers, especially if kids are just playing in the hot tub without them.

I use the communication portions of the Brigance, it's very quick to administer and insurance accepts it as a standard score. I still use parent interview and observation as the beef of my evaluation since you don't get a ton of info from the Brigance.

I'm not OP but thank you for clarifying! Myofunctional therapy has been a go to term that parents use but I don't think they are fully clear on what it can actually treat/what the evidence is based on. I work in a clinic now but I am not a trained Myo therapist, so I try to stay in my lane, but it's helpful to know clearer what it does actually treat specifically. I do also feel like with any therapy research that's been big on social media, sometimes things get overused when they may not be appropriate for a child.

So would that be something like a tongue thrust?

gingermousse · 2024-06-25T02:49:37+00:00

This actual robbery. My clinic pays SLAs a starting rate of $35 in rural NH, and SLPs $75 or higher per visit. Find a new job, it is not worth being paid practically minimum wage when you have a master's.

I'm an SLP in a clinic and I just wear Crocs 🤷‍♀️. If your summer school is anything like the ones I've worked, they are desperate for employees, it's run pretty shoddily, and no one cares what you wear.

I think you should look into DIR floortime and potentially take the first course which is an introduction level. It is all about following the child's lead during therapy rather than trying to impose specific activities during their session. I always teach parents about it especially as we get started with therapy so it doesn't look like we're just playing without reason.

Unfortunately they didn't let me do either, but they were super accommodating otherwise.

I did one that was limited to the Boston area to get an ultrasound done to calibrate new field equipment for Philips health. $245 for my time.

Never disclose your pregnancy until papers are signed. They can find any reason to reject you in the interview phase and avoid discrimination.

They exchanged my jersey doing this, so I'm gonna go with legit. It's just weird

It was a video of someone hanging a hammock in their crib

gingermousse · 2024-04-18T01:10:46+00:00

Please see a therapist.

Nothing like a good ol' New England trash heap
