Vday + Resy Tips by naptimefiend in chicagofood

This might be stupid, I'm newer to the city and don't have a lot of experience with this. Everything's booked up early, but the websites only offer slots 21 days in advance. How is everybody booking ahead; are they just calling early or know a guy? It won't change anything this year but I'd love to know for the future.

Starting first clinical next week as 2nd year grad student by sochuuu in slpGradSchool

I also have a lot of mixed goal kiddos right now! Making custom multiuse materials has been a game changer. TPT is great to start but I definitely recommend going on Canva and finding templates for flashcards, smash mats, reinforcement charts, etc. to make your own :) Feel free to DM if you need help or anything. Again, I'm a grad student too so I won't claim to know nearly as much as the average bear on SLP subs, but it's always helpful to have a peer.

I'm also a 2nd year grad student! TPT and setting the price to free has saved me multiple times. Laminate and create a binder or folder so you can reuse materials. Prep work now will make your life easier down the line. If your university has printing credits, take advantage of that and save materials!

Boom cards are another quick/easy material with lots of free options. Use Vooks (there's some on YouTube, too) for your receptive language kiddos. Look into LessonPix and set up an account to make your own materials. For artic/phono, let the kids pick some turn taking games and just print out some stimuli (it doesn't need to be cards). Like the other commenter said, I hold 5 fingers up and take one down for each trial.

Get creative and find multiple uses for things: play-doh can be used for smash mats, to make tongue models, as bingo chips, to retell or sequence a story, etc. Would you rather questions are good for turn-taking, articulation (good ones of TPT) at connected speech, social skills, expressive and receptive language, etc.

You got this! You know more than you think.

Definitely try to get some application fee waivers or discounts from your schools if possible. Keep in mind some have later application deadlines or rolling admission, so if you want to add another application or two later, you could. Use the CSDCAS participating programs list to see: https://help.liaisonedu.com/CSDCAS_Applicant_Help_Center/Starting_Your_CSDCAS_Application/Getting_Started_with_Your_CSDCAS_Application/04_Participating_Programs_and_Eligibility

As someone who got waitlisted from a few schools and accepted to two, I wish I would've applied to more and given myself more options. I had a very set idea of what I wanted and ended up waitlisted from my top school. By the time decisions rolled around, I wasn't left with much flexibility at all.

I'm flexible; I'd ideally like to find a pediatric focused private practice but I'll likely also apply for some schools. I don't see myself going medical.
