    @rachels.1411 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does anyone know how hard it would be to work as an SLPA while you’re in school to become a SLP? Would it give you extra advantage/experience? Is it even possible to do this? Do they require the same basic schooling or would I have to take some new classes in order to be an SLPA in the mean time?

      once you complete your clinician fellowship year, you no longer have a supervisor mentoring you. You then apply to ASHA which give you your CCC. Certificate of Clinical Competence

    • @MariellaMendez
      @MariellaMendez  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just take one step at a time and have your timeline written out. Tackle what needs to be done first. Also some masters programs for speech pathology do not require a gre so you may want to look into that

    Great vid. I have a question about the classes. How difficult were the classes in your masters program? I was really excited about being a slp but I heard it’s very difficult to get into grad school and even more difficult when you get in. ie having no C’s. I also live in Florida (edit I’m sorry😭: 1.do you believe there are demands for slpas today? 2. Must you memorize ipa chart? thanks)

    How’s the pay?? I’m always worried that I’m working hard for low wages. I live in Jersey so I know it varies but in your opinion, is the pay worth it?

    • @MariellaMendez
      @MariellaMendez  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It varies by state. I know NY pays higher however living expenses are higher. Typically a starting CF earns 65,000 salary or between 45/50 dollars an hour. Once you earn your C’s pay goes up. Also depending on your setting you work st the pay varies

    • @kathyperalta8339

      Clinical fellowship year. It is equivalent to a doctors residency where you work get paid but have a supervisor and mentor

    @chelseajames1363 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What is the difference between an SLP Assistant and an SLP? What are the different duties each do? If you can’t afford to do a Masters Program, would you recommend doing a Bachelors for SLP Assistant?

    • @MariellaMendez
      @MariellaMendez  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The primary difference is: SLP can assess, diagnose, create plan of care, and treat. SLPA can only provide treatment and follow the POC which their supervising clinician wrote.

      Shanice Jackson I’m in slp grad school now and I did not get paid for my medical or school based externships. And they were like full time jobs. We all basically worked for 8 hours and then had night classes. Not only did I not get paid but since it’s part of the program I had to pay to take this 7 unit clinic course lol. I opted for an affordable state school and took out loans. But we will have job security so we can pay off our loans ASAP! Good luck!
