I am joining up with the Frenzied SLPs for a blog linky this week. We are all sharing the stories of our journey to becoming SLPs. How did we get to here? I knew some SLPs in graduate school who had known in college that this is what they wanted to do. They started out as Communication Disorders majors, and went straight to graduate school. My journey was a little bit different, and far from the straight path. I became interested in Autism before I even got to high school, after seeing a special on t.v. about kids with the disorder. This was way back when Autism was still considered Childhood Schizophrenia. So, in college, I became a psychology major, and got to do some work with kids with autism throughout college by way of some special education classes. And I actually thought I had a chance at a job after school. But then PL94-142 passed. Just as I was finishing my undergraduate degree and the local public schools took over the students I had been working with and.... POOF! End of job prospects. I searched for a job for a while, but I was young (19) and nobody really wanted to hire me. I worked as a special ed substitute teacher for a little while, but it was tough bouncing from one special education class to another every other day. So I applied for graduate school. Thing was, there were only 5 graduate programs in the whole country way back then that offered a specialty in Autism. To make a really long story short, I ended up in New Orleans in a special ed Master's program that was terrible. So, I looked at Tulane to see what they had to offer, and found the speech pathology program. I had been working with teaching signs to the kids I worked with in college, so I was basically teaching communication skills already. So, I knocked on the door and they took me in. I have now been a SLP for 38 years. It has been a varied, interesting, and sometimes wild ride. But it has never been dull. And I have never been unemployed. For the past 19 1/2 years I have been running my own private practice, providing independent evaluations and AAC implementation consulting and training. And what's next, you ask? Retirement is around the corner and I can't wait. I have other fun things planned for my retirement, and I'd love to get to them. My art studio is beckoning daily. In the meantime, I'm still passionate about what I do and why I do it. Every child deserves to have a voice! So, Keep on Talking!

As it turns out, my first experience with Selective Mutism (SM) was my first day on the job during my Clinical Fellowship Year in a private school for children with severe communication difficulties. To many bystanders, it seemed logical for the Speech-Language Pathologist to treat children with this diagnosis because, well, SLPs help people who […]

I could show them the progression and they were able to understand the goals I developed based on this hierarchy. Thank you for making me look like such an expert! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really love this hierarchy. I know what I'm trying to do, but sometimes can be more scattered than I'd like to admit. This will be handy when goal writing and providing therapy for these littles.
