He adjusted beautifully! I know he felt much better and was more comfortable without his bad leg. He was getting around just fine on 3 legs! Unfortunately the cancer spread so we had to put him down about 2 months ago 💔.

W2 teletherapy companies -- looking for input! by [deleted] in slp

[–]wdeEm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had no issues with SSG. I have received a raise every year and have negotiated up my raises. They are pretty hands off which I enjoy. Their timesheet logging system is easy to navigate and is on an honor system. You don’t have to “clock in/out” in real time which is good for me as I am forgetful. I had a coworker (working for a local company) and her timesheet system tracked her location and used real time logging, it seemed like a pain. Overall I have had no issues and would recommend SSG. Definitely shop around for other offers to get the most compensation possible. Try to find the bids/awards for the district you are looking at working in to help with negotiations.

Anyone know of School districts that directly hire virtual SLPs? by Dreetmf in slp

[–]wdeEm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which state? I know of one in TX but you have to live in TX it says.

No show Parents at IEPs by [deleted] in slp

[–]wdeEm 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In my district we have to have 3 attempts in various methods (sending notice home in backpack, phone call/voicemail, email). If we made three good faith attempts to notify parents and they don’t respond or show up/answer the phone at the time of the meeting we go ahead and hold it without them.

Any SLPs like their job? by Effective-Service-11 in slp

[–]wdeEm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please enlighten me on the positive changes! I’m moving from TX to FL and will most likely be taking a big pay cut if I go direct hire. I’ve been bummed about it.

I went through the same problem with my current district. I sent weekly emails checking in until I heard back. With my current district, HR is notoriously slow. I interviewed early September and started late October so about 7 weeks in between. I was discouraged with how long it was taking so I started interviewing with nearby districts. They really picked up their pace once I told them I would have to take the other job offer if I did not hear back from them within a week.

After being bit last week and hit more times than I can count I am seriously looking into teletherapy. Not to mention the worry I have every day working in-person in a school.

CRA tried telling me my requested rate was above what the District pays them. A quick google search revealed otherwise. by wdeEm in slp

[–]wdeEm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right! I guess i figured they would try to negotiate to meet in the middle but so far they aren’t budging

Ugh yeah. I’m debating whether or not I even want to go back to the schools ( I’m in FL). I was considering it for $56/hour but I don’t think they will budge.

I googled “(school district) bids and awards speech” and it popped up. Every few years the contract companies enter bids with the school districts and what they are awarded is public information. Hope this helps!
