Why I became a speech pathologist #slpeeps

@matthewhott Definitely better! Had a brain abscess and then lung surgery to fix the hole they found there. It’s been wild! Been 3 months definitely on the Mend 😄

I miss you all! I had to take a break for awhile. I ended up switching careers but still PRN. Also had emergency brain surgery! So was on the patient end of things. How has your year been?

Nurse: Mr. Johnson got a 15 on his BIMS he’s fine.
Mr. Johnson: NO ONE FEEDS ME HERE AND I HAVEN’T ANYONE FOR THERAPY. WHAT KIND OF SHITHOLE YOU RUNNING?!

How many SLPs are feeling burned out?

[Life As A Speechie @WhatIsMySLPLife]

My evaluation file holder is empty!!! We are so close to the end of the school year!!!

Go to pick up 1 of my kiddos from class, ask about another whose desk is empty...
M: Is Bobby here today?
K: No, he's not, he's got the cough
😂😂😂😂

Real reason why Bobby was absent: his mom had a new baby

🥺🥺🥺🥺

I told a kiddo that it was time to go back to class and he said "Okay... but I like it in here"

I really try to create a calm environment but man, that was word cuddles 🤗🤗🤗

Things that kids say:
*after we finished his wksheets, all pretty and colored and glued
K: I love these. Can I take these home?
M: Yes, they are yours.
K: Okay! I'm going to shred them
M:😧 You're going to shred them?
K: Yes, after the glue dries of course

It's never too late to try and update your therapy data collection and planning. I've always struggled to keep data on time but also keep an eye on their work. I've changed it so many times but this is the first time I've been able to keep up! 😊😊 What works for you??

[Life As A Speechie @WhatIsMySLPLife]

Kids coming back to in-person hybrid school in just a few weeks!! EEEEEEKKKKK! Exciting!
