My SLP life during Covid-19

When you suddenly have to learn all things teletherapy:

Putting together no print lesson plans, boom cards, online activities, etc.

Remembering that you work in a low SES area and your student most likely won't have computers and/or internet.

Getting the call that your department director will not authorize any video platform for teletherapy and all sessions must be completed over the PHONE

Your nonverbal kids...

Really all of my kids...

Parents who have blocked all school related numbers

Me trying to help the 1/3 of my caseload that actually answered maintain any progress they've made while also dealing with updates and changes by administration

Hey look! I did the thing! Now I can officially put MS, CF-SLP after my name!!!

[patakapatakapataka]

I finished my last class of grad school...

But now I have to figure out how to budget the rest of my life on my CF salary and moving and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When the state of the union is on and you're an SLP and youre trying to listen to the giant cheeto you notice things...

-hyponasality

-lateralization

-lack of pragmatic ability

-confabulations

-I won't go into his cognition....

I had to leave. Not only because of the content but because I can't stand his voice....

It’s funny cause it’s true

[fyp-science]

What is that we human beings ultimately depend on? We depend on our words. We are suspended in language. Our task is to communicate experience and ideas to others.
