Hi! I'm really interested in applying for a SLP graduate program and love your content. It has been very inspiring to see the real day to day. Love it and look forward to seeing more :)
Hi! I just started my last clinical rotation of graduate school and loving it! I recently passed my program's comprehensive exam and the Praxis as well! Starting to research CF opportunities :)
Hi! You look so happy and fulfilled working with children 😊 I have some questions to ask since I'm exploring the field of SLP. What are the main differences between working in a clinic vs. schools? Pros and cons for both settings? Are there certain cases that you would mostly see in clinic than in a school? Would you ever switch to a different specialty/patient population like working with adults, working in a hospital setting, etc.? I am interested in working with children, and I really appreciate these videos! I still need to watch more of your vids haha 😆Thank you for sharing your journey in this field 💖
Hey Melanie!! You are so sweet, thank you 🥰 I am happy you enjoy these! So far in my clinic, I have seen a lot of sensory/autism kiddos and early intervention! Only a handful of articulation kiddos. And for schools, the caseload depends on how old your kids are and the type of school :) 1) School pros: if you are working for the district you will get: better benefits, a better work shift (typically out by 3 pm), summer off if you want, you make your own schedule of when you see the kiddos, you might have a high caseload but you can group kids to make it easier, salary over hourly School cons: likely lower pay, a lot of documentation, many meetings, you will do things out of your field (bus duty, etc), can be hard if teachers are rude and don't like when you take kids out of class 2) Clinic pros: 1:1 sessions, likely higher pay, potential for more training and help from other slps working with you Clinic cons: less benefits, some won't pay you if a client cancels, high caseload, more evals, long days (most clinics close around 6 pm) I personally would not switch populations simply because I feel more comfortable with kids and I prefer that caseload over stroke, dysphagia, etc! Let me know if you have more questions! I appreciate your comments ☺
