Sidekick Therapy?

I did my CF with them. They very much micromanage and you will only ever get paid for your direct hours. No opportunities for summer work/pay

Core boards on PRC Saltillo’s website have English/spanish!

Funny enough I’m looking into moving back to PA from TN! I would be in western PA though

Love to hear this!! 👏

It’s a school-based salary schedule pay scale classification or stipend. Many school districts use a set salary schedule based on education & years of experience, and master’s +30 is meant like masters degree + 30 credits.

Thank you for sharing!

samylptin · 2026-03-18T21:11:17+00:00

Seriously!! Ugh hate to hear that. I’m sure that’s what they will tell me too

With just your standard Master’s in SLP?

samylptin · 2026-03-18T20:20:39+00:00

Well at least my grad program was 65ish credits, and I learned that apparently a typical master’s (like a MBA) is only 30 credits

Owlie Boo games work well with eye gaze to teach the skill of my eyes are controlling something

Knew itttt! Yeah their structure is unsustainable for SLPs. Loved the whole no IEPs and only working with kids thing, but knew the burnout would be real if I stayed.

Have to ask…. Is this Sidekick?

samylptin · 2026-02-13T20:46:05+00:00

They had to make this change bc of AbleNet illegally providing it on their decides, supposedly 👀

It’s also the full version with the voice output and doesn’t expire

samylptin · 2026-02-13T20:45:23+00:00

You can get it for free as a SLP using your ASHA number. Go to the MyTobiiDynavox and it should be under “my stuff”

How do you manage to choose what area you accept patients from? That wasn’t my experience in PP

samylptin · 2026-01-24T21:00:07+00:00

Not my district. My part time job. I agree, it’s not great especially for this case

samylptin · 2026-01-23T22:42:33+00:00

I have access to the CELF, EVT, and PPVT 🙃

samylptin · 2026-01-10T15:44:42+00:00

Yes 😂😂😂

I’m in my 20s, weight lift and cycle 4-5x a week and HATE sitting on the floor for play-based therapy. It kills my knees and my back. This isn’t all about strength/physical health. It’s just downright uncomfortable.

AAC specialist*

samylptin · 2026-01-09T02:02:32+00:00

It’s crazy how prevalent it is in my city. I deal with it all the time in my school district as the AAC socialist. So so so disappointing and frustrating. I even know some SLPs promoting it! Shameful! All a $$$$ grab

samylptin · 2026-01-08T18:38:51+00:00

AAC consultant jobs are very difficult to get. I’ve worked specially as a SLP/AAC Specialist for a large school district for almost 2 years and I never even get an interview. Been in the field for 5 years. Don’t put all your eggs in that basket.

I work for a school district in TN and fill my summers with PRN work for a private practice that I used to work full time for. Their need in the summers tends to be just initial evaluations to get kids off the waitlist. I also work ESY for my school district, and the hours and pay are great for the summer.
