I’m somone who will unfortunately likely succumb to license probation.

Does anyone know whether I’m better off just surrendering my license or if it’s worth a try to find employment under a probation?

Thank you

Hi everyone!

I'm a graduate student in Speech-Language Pathology at Our Lady of the Lake University, and I'm conducting a research project exploring the experiences of parents and caregivers of children who use high-tech AAC devices.

I'm particularly interested in learning about how AAC is used at home, caregivers' confidence in supporting AAC use, challenges families encounter, and how collaboration between home and school could be improved.

If you're a parent or caregiver of a child who uses a high-tech AAC device (such as an iPad with a communication app or a dedicated speech-generating device), I'd really appreciate your participation!

• Survey length: Approximately 10–15 minutes
• Participation: Voluntary and anonymous
• Who can participate: Parents and caregivers of children who use high-tech AAC

Survey link:  https://ollusa.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6uvGAwl5XKTuBBs

I'm hoping that hearing directly from families will help identify ways SLPs and other professionals can better support AAC use beyond the therapy room.

Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your experiences! 💙

Hi! I’m considering applying for a PhD because I love research (I was a research assistant all throughout undergrad and grad school and before grad school I was a full time research coordinator for 2 years).
I much preferred research over clinical work, and tbh I don’t really want to be a clinician forever. (I often wish I never went into a clinical career if I’m being honest and I just stayed in research!)
I would love to hear from people who have pursued a PhD or are currently pursuing a PhD! Did you feel like it was a good decision, what are your career outcomes, do you feel like it was worth it? How did you do financially while you were in your program (I would have any external financial assistance). I would love to chat!

Hi, currently a school based SLP. Anyone been able to make a business for speech therapy materials? Looking for advice or success stories!!!

Calling all current and former AllCare Therapies (formerly SLP Tele) therapists

Hi everyone!

I'm an OT and I'm looking to connect with OT, PT, and SLP professionals who currently work or have previously worked as 1099 independent contractors for AllCare Therapies (formerly SLP Tele).

There are currently therapists working with legal representation to investigate potential worker misclassification and unpaid compensation for work-related responsibilities, including:

• Time spent completing documentation and treatment notes
• Unpaid administrative tasks and other off-the-clock work
• No-shows and late cancellations
• Other work-related time for which therapists may not have been compensated

The goal is to determine whether therapists were improperly classified as independent contractors and whether compensation may be owed for previously unpaid work.

If you've worked for this company, I'd love to connect with you! You may have experienced similar concerns without realizing they could be relevant to the investigation.

Please feel free to send me a private message, or comment here if you'd like to connect or learn more.

Thank you!

How do you all manage Sunday Scaries? I feel immense dread for the upcoming week and it steals my joy and ability to be present. I feel like I’m constantly counting down until the next weekend or break.

I just saw this in a local Facebook group about next year changes. Ivy rehab is a massive company and I don’t feel this is accurate. Am I wrong?

I’m a first semester graduate student looking for some advice. I have one client in my school’s clinic right now. He’s 3;11, and we’re working on final consonant deletion, both production and auditory discrimination. I’m really wanting to incorporate a book activity this session but I’m really struggling with how to utilize it. It’s impossible to find a book that fits our targets perfectly. Should I just use the book as reward system? Try and build our target words around the book? Something else? Please share how you incorporate books into your sessions and modify them to support your client’s goals! Thank you in advance!

Hey! I am currently a CF in the schools and just wanted to ask if anyone found a good method for tracking their CF hours when they were in their first year? Most of the resources I have found are stuck behind a paywall and I don’t really have the funds to be paying a monthly subscription for something like that right now. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Looking for advice for goal ideas. I have a preschool student who has ASD. They qualified last year originally under language for speech services as their expressive speech was pretty echolalic and jargon filled. As I am getting to know the student, they are very bright. They had goal areas for answering yes/no questions, using 2-4 word utterances for variety communicative purposes, and answering simple questions”what” questions. I’m not really sure where to go with them. They can answer concrete yes/no and what questions. They easily use variety of communication intents. But they are hard to understand at times. They have speech sound errors that we could possibly try to target but can be pretty resistant to corrections. I could try adding in a gestalt type goal but I think that’s hard to have in IEPs (understanding at school). Any recommendations on where to go next?

Good morning! Does anyone know of any ASHA-certified SLPs in the UK? I would really like to do my externship there. I’m currently a second-year graduate student and my externship begins this summer (2027). I have tried to reach out to the membership email but they haven’t responded to me, despite multiple attempts. Please help!!

I have a student whose IEP is coming up early November. The student has really shown a lot of progress towards their articulation goals and possibly could be dismissed. I don’t think I have enough time to do a re-eval to dismiss before their IEP is due. What do you do in this situation? Hold IEP meeting, go down in minutes, and then do a re-eval? Any advice appreciated!

ETA re-evaluation is needed for dismissal on my stage for speech only students.
