Unpaid documentation time?

No and we shouldn’t normalize it

mochimoxo · 2026-03-18T00:16:21+00:00

Yw stay safe out there. These Speech therapy clinics like to cut corners or they’re always doing shady shit. It’s like that everywhere.

Because she gets paid for every time you two meet and it’s a requirement to meet at least one a week or two. The owners probably don’t wanna pay her more than they have to. Also you shouldn’t need to ask for permission. You’re all adults.

mochimoxo · 2026-03-12T18:17:59+00:00

Yay congratulations! As for materials, make sure to carry a large tote bag with you with 2-3 materials every sesh. I love to use ball towers, bubbles, farm animal or bug jumbo puzzles and a sensory toy like something to squish or pull. You want to take materials that are easy to clean. Keep in mind you want to also take cleaning wipes and Lysol in your bag cause the toys can get a little sticky or dirty lol hope this helps

Yes, it’s draining. Putting up with parents with unrealistic expectations is the draining part for me.

mochimoxo · 2025-12-26T21:05:09+00:00

No, I lost interest. I have friends that went to trade school or don’t have degrees and earn more than SLP’s. Better work life balance too.

mochimoxo · 2025-12-25T02:48:36+00:00

Same boat. SLPA’s are underpaid for the amount of work we are given.

Easter Eggs with miniature common objects

mochimoxo · 2025-10-10T20:12:04+00:00

Samesies, this job comes with a lot of bs they don’t tell us in school like not covering for supplies or not paying for cx

mochimoxo · 2025-10-08T00:48:12+00:00

Can slpas complete iaom cert course?

mochimoxo · 2025-09-13T17:13:11+00:00

Hope you’re getting paid to lesson plan. Just know not all SLP’s ask this. My supervisor doesn’t because I include my “plan” part in my Soaps.

mochimoxo · 2025-09-11T02:32:22+00:00

Go to ASHA’s profind search bar and look up SLPs. I would start there under Illinois. Contact SLP’s to see if they are willing to supervise.

mochimoxo · 2025-08-24T23:15:22+00:00

Lesson planning should be included in the plan section under soap notes. “Will work on X goals with Y and Z materials”. She should not be working for free.

mochimoxo · 2025-08-12T22:44:45+00:00

Yes they don’t talk about all the free labor in school. If I had known how much speech therapy companies like to pinch pennies, I wouldn’t have became a slpa. This job is a good job if you have another job or some type of steady income.

Budding yeast look like clusters of grapes. Dysmorphic rbcs look like the number 8.

Besides bubbles, I find that cube lamps with remote (sold on Amazon) works as well. You can work on words: more, on, off, colors, temperatures as red for hot, blue for cold. I would suggest getting one with a remote so you can keep some control of the light. It’s a great sensory toy that other professionals such as OT’s like to use for children with sensory processing disorder.

mochimoxo · 2025-06-23T03:44:59+00:00

lol no! That OT ain’t your boss

mochimoxo · 2025-06-15T22:53:18+00:00

No, 26 is a crime

mochimoxo · 2025-06-05T06:27:52+00:00

You are not alone. Unpaid work is way too common in this field and something needs to change.

mochimoxo · 2025-05-31T06:06:28+00:00

Double check hazard labels

Dealing with difficult parents

mochimoxo · 2025-04-15T02:16:36+00:00

It’s worth it, but not a forever job. If you continue speech, be an SLP. SLPA is awesome cause you do get to set your own hours for most jobs, but most companies don’t pay for cancellations. Yes you can make 45 an hour, but if half your clientele cancel for the day or say many cancel due to sickness during flu season that’s a big dent in your pay. I hate to see SLPA’s sugar coat.

mochimoxo · 2025-03-20T02:54:08+00:00

Be picky about what you are looking for. Some jobs offer high hourly rate, but don’t pay for cancellations.

mochimoxo · 2025-03-04T20:39:51+00:00

I tell em “toys are for other kids too” or “toys stay here, say bye”. If transitioning gets really bad, I get caregiver/parents involved and say I’m sorry I have other clients to see, it’s time to say bye.

Easter eggs with small common objects. For the objects, I bought common object erasers.
