I understand what you telling me 💯👍😊🙌😁 percentage

I work for a high school as a contract SLP for my CFY and I HATE it…and I agree..I wish these school would discuss the cons of being a SLP..this would save people a lot of time and MONEY because we all know grad school is very EXPENSIVE.

Not having a standard of practice is a good thing if you are an intelligent person. "Standards of care" are full of arbitrary axioms that don't apply to the individual. "Evidence based practices" also don't (and can not) tell you what you should do in practice. i.e. aversion treatment for children with autism, which, has plenty of evidence supporting a reduction of unwanted behaviors through the use of things like spray bottles and electrical shock given the instantiation of unwanted behaviors.

I'm a retired Home Health Aide, (CERTIFIED) I agree with you 100 percent,I work with Strokes, Alzheimer, head injuries my son is autistic and I didn't get any help. I got use basic work for my patients and taught myself to help my patients. I slept at night because I did my best to help my patients. I have a patient care book on my level and went to in-service every month. I wanted to go into the school system but I was told by many SLP, PT and OT to stay in Home Care, and that was in the 1980 and 1990. I always felt something wasn't right.

Thanks for your transparency!!

You’re welcome thanks for watching

Apply to grad school itself has been a trying experience. I’m almost tempted to pivot to another career 😭

What happens when you reject the proposition of "building a caseload" and just tell them no?

Since SNFs are mostly hourly pay you get told to go home early unpaid or float to another building. If you don't the SNFs seem to find a way to terminate you. It's sad.

Don't forget the catty behavior of SLPs in hospitals and rehab centers. It's like high school. I think it's pathetic and wish directors would start cracking down on that stuff. It's toxic. They abuse their student interns.

That's a great idea for another KZread! The biggest red flag I have is hearing "you have to build your own caseload" on the interview. Usually means "we don't have enough work for you and want you to make up work"

im considering slp down the line as i start my undergrad this fall, it seems like social workers, teachers, and slps all share similar opinions... 😬😬

Yup, the "pink collar" careers face a lot of the same issues

I am a teacher in early education, I am really thinking in registering at a SLP program because I love the work you do. I know it is very expensive the master program. I am 42 years old already, would you change careers and become SLP? I would have to as for a loan to pay for my master. I already paid the master in education!
