As an aspiring SLP, is it possible to simultaneously work as a medical SLP and a school-based SLP, or would it be more beneficial to do one before the other?
Hi! I’m very interested in working with those with special needs, though I’m also interested in working in a medical setting where I will be able to learn from other healthcare professionals while I work (hence my interest in both school-based and medical speech-language pathology). I was wondering if anyone has any advice on whether or not it’s possible to work in both settings at the same time? If not, would it be easier to switch from a medical SLP to a school-based one or vice versa? Thank you! #JULY20 #SLP #SpeechPathology #healthcare
Are there any careers out there that combine speech-language pathology (SLP) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) ?
I’m extremely interested in becoming an SLP out of my interest in improving the communicative/throat-related functional abilities of individuals with special needs, but I also have an interest in helping individuals with special needs have an overall better quality of life through applied behavior analysis. To my understanding, both occupations allow an individual to either work in a school or clinical setting, so if there are no careers that combine my two interests, can anyone give me insight on their experiences as either an SLP or ABA in either setting? Thank you! #career-path #SLP #ABA #SpecialNeeds

How can I be an SLP that incorporates ASL in my practice?
Hi there! I've studied ASL all through high school and college (I'm a senior in college now), originally double majoring in ASL and speech pathology - now just majoring in SLP and minoring in ASL. I desperately want to incorporate ASL into being an SLP, but I've had professors tell me it's impossible/too rare of a circumstance to make a career out of. My question(s): Is it really impossible? What can I do to be able to to both in the future? I've been told to just say that I'm "deaf friendly" to patients, but what area of SLP would that fall into? My original thought was to offer ASL or re-learning spoken speech to those who lose it from trauma, like severe Dysarthria, but that's where I was told it wasn't 'a thing'. Does anyone have any input or advice? Thanks! #ASL #SLP #american-sign-language #speech-language-pathology
