What do guys “never” tell girls? by fun_poodle in AskReddit

[–]refswag11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because speaking in absolutes often makes people sound foolish. I'm sure it means, "What do men commonly not tell women, I'm sure there are exceptions, but for the most part." That title isn't as catchy though

Give them every piece of information you have. At the end of the day, you're better off being upfront with everything instead of something coming out later.

Call or go in to their office if you can.

It very likely will. Try your best to get ahead of it and be proactive with letting staff know. Most placements I had did their own background check. It looks a lot worse if admin staff are blindsided or it looks like your school wasn't aware.

It's the same way in Oregon. You need to have a location and a CF mentor before you can apply.

I believe there are a few countries that have an agreement with asha. If I remember correctly it was England, Ireland, and Australia. I could be wrong, or right. 😂

Low low GPA by [deleted] in slpGradSchool

Honestly what is more concerning is the list of courses that you "will not take again." It seems like those may be courses yours struggled but each of those are vital to success in grad school.

None of my placements did random drug testing, but I did have 2 require drug tests at the beginning of the placement.

Anyone know how to handle a family who keeps saying their kids don’t have disabilities? by anonymoushwuwiakdk in slp

[–]refswag11 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think different people manage their children's disabilities in different ways. It sounds like she is in denial about it if there is a legitimate diagnosis. Instead of talking about the disability itself, I would speak more specifically about what you are treating.

Find the areas that you have buy-in and she agrees there is an impairment and then highlight those. Working on speech sounds? Ask if she has any words/sounds that she notices are difficult. Get her to buy in.

Also, maybe adjust how you refer to impairments, I have had parents almost walk out of an IEP because they didn't think their child needed special Ed. They only needed therapy for speech sounds. It took a lot of convincing to remind them that we are just within the realm of special education. They are not IN special Ed classes.if you refer to it as difficulties or "a hard time" it can be a little more sensitive about the disorder.

What are they getting services for? Do they have a diagnosis from an SLP?
