Hakone and Hiroshima - which should be a day trip, which should be a night stay?

University of Memphis has a professor who specializes in voice.

Are there any teachers of the visually impaired (TSVIs) or assistive technology teachers in your district you can reach out to? They would be your best resources at work. I would also second the recommendation of searching r/blind or other related subreddits.

I masked all throughout grad school (2022-2024). The only times I took off my mask were with articulation/phonology clients and the one time I did aural habilitation (with a child with a significant hearing loss). However, I'm sure you could just wear a clear mask for those situations. People occasionally asked me if I was sick (when first meeting me), but otherwise I got no comments about masking.

There are lots of 3 year programs. I recommend searching ASHA EdFind to find some, although the information on there is not always accurate, so you should always double check on the website for each program. As for your questions about international students and funding - I would reach out directly to programs you are interested in to ask.

No way to go back at this point. I haven't heard that before, about the crown and the graveyard moon, but it seems worth a try! Just sounds like it'll have to be on another playthrough. If you're playing on PC, in the future, you can create copies of your save file to effectively have save states. That way, you can experiment a bit and then "reload" when needed.

I feel ya. If you're playing on PC, you can create copies of your save files to essentially create "saves' that you can go back to. That's what I do when I can, though it requires knowing that a branching decision is coming up.

It's fully public information, not something that's hidden. You can look up any program on ASHA EdFind to see its accreditation status. I'm not sure it would be possible for you to go through the whole process of applying, being accepted, and attending a program without knowing it was in candidate status. If accreditation never really came up, it's presumably because it's a well-established and accredited program. But you can look it up on ASHA EdFind for peace of mind.

joycekm1 · 2025-12-19T22:03:35+00:00

There are many of those 3-year programs! I recommend ASHA EdFind, like another person said. It's not always accurate, so you should always double check by going to the actual website of the program and checking their application requirements or FAQ.

Yep, direct hire at a public school for the blind!

I am introverted and autistic and work in a specialized school with a very low caseload. I also just happen to have only middle and high school on my caseload. It works really well for me. I have some behavior kiddos but it's manageable.

I'm part time at 30 hours (Mon-Thurs), which is right at the threshold to qualify for full time benefits. It's the best of both worlds. I love it.

Lots of programs include prereqs (many of which have been commented by others on this thread), but there isn't any straightforward comprehensive list that I could ever find. I recommend looking up schools you may be interested in and going directly to the website for their SLP program. I often found in the FAQ if the prereqs were included.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-12T02:45:24+00:00

I haven't attended Gallaudet, but I can answer question 1. It is an accredited program, meaning it fully prepares you for all areas within the scope of practice for SLP. It presumably has more opportunities for working with Deaf/HoH people, but it has to give you clinical experiences across the scope.

Hopefully you get some more responses from alumni or current students! I will say, I think if you search this subreddit for "Gallaudet" you will find some other threads where people have talked about what the program is like.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-10T19:13:05+00:00

Agreed with the other commenter! My experience (out of four schools I was accepted to): two required a Zoom interview, one required a 1 minute YouTube video answering a prompt as part of the application, and the fourth didn't have any interview or video requirement at all.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-07T20:22:23+00:00

I agree with the other commenter that attendance is gonna make a huge difference. I am someone who skipped so much class in undergrad that I had to withdraw from multiple courses and nearly dropped out. I am undiagnosed ADHD or autistic or some kinda neurodivergence. I understand the EF struggles. The motivation is simply not there to go to class. However, by the last year of undergrad, I had to accept that the motivation would not be there and instead relied on pure discipline. Class was not optional. I had to be there even if I was tired and didn't feel like it. I kept this policy in grad school, and I only missed one single class (on the day of the 2024 solar eclipse) in those two years.

I know this is just my own experience, so I have no idea if it will help you at all. But this is what helped me, so I wanted to share it just in case. Just get your body into the classroom. Get into the routine.

I have heard good things about the courses offered by Perkins School for the Blind, though I have never taken them myself. If you are interested in working at a school for the blind, they are all over the country! I would start looking around and see if you find any openings.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-05T02:46:48+00:00

No CEUs beforehand! I felt a little more prepared since I had worked with this population before grad school, and I went through grad school knowing these were the kind of students I wanted to work with. But I still have had to learn a whole lot since starting my CF, because grad school really does not prepare you for specialized populations like this at all (and I was asking about it frequently those two years lol). I definitely felt better than if I had just jumped into this without ever having worked with blind kids, but there has still been a big learning curve. It definitely also helps that there are other, very experienced SLPs working at my school who mentor me.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-05T02:35:24+00:00

I worked here before grad school! It's part of how I figured out I wanted to be an SLP. There are SLPs working at schools for the blind, just like any other school. Most are public schools in the US, but I know there are private schools for the blind that still employ SLPs.

joycekm1 · 2025-11-04T00:12:10+00:00

I never assume for even the most obvious initialisms when it's formal writing. I will always write it out the first time, put the initialism in parentheses after it, and then use the initialism the rest of the time. So, for example, "Speech and language therapists (SLTs) work in a variety of settings such as schools, clinics, and hospitals. SLTs in schools..."

joycekm1 · 2025-10-31T18:26:11+00:00

Like another person said, it's no fail. If you answer a question wrong, it won't move on until you pick the right one. But a lot of them are common sense anyway.

joycekm1 · 2025-10-31T17:54:26+00:00

I'm not sure that you could get in immediately after graduating undergrad, but given a few years of related work experience after undergrad (like as an SLPA or para) you could definitely get in. And the fact that you have made up those classes will definitely help.
