All SLPs share the "pain" of the current SLP shortage; however, school clinicians are under more stress due to caseload size and legal implications. The instructors discussed suggestions for collaborating with administration in very thoughtful ways. Kudos to them! I was the "troublemaker" in my district but was unable to form an alliance to get things done. After 44 years of practice, I had to say "enough". I will recommend this course to other SLPs in my district.

This information was excellent!! I recently retired after 41 years in the field. I worked 37 years at the same organization. At times I had over 110 students (preschool level only), visited over 16 sites (ECSE, private preschools, Head Starts, etc.) and traveled over 250 miles a month. Total burnout and feeling unappreciated, not heard by administrators, and did not feel like I made a difference or was providing quality service per my profession. Attempts for help were not heard......

Our rural district in Kentucky is facing this SLP shortage. We have several teletherapists and contract therapists. I think another reason for the school shortage is the lack of flexibility some districts provide. Some districts really try to stay away from part-time. My district has always worked with me as I have been part-time for several years. That's the way things are trending with how expensive childcare is. Anyway, I loved this course because it hits home.

It is so significant for success for everyone to understand all the roles and participate together. It will be a positive situation for everyone.

Our district/lead SLP does not always explain the why and how of the information they are ask for. They talked a lot about meeting with HR with no explanation of what would be discussed. They took information from us about our workday and made it seem as if we shouldn't be stressed and it made it look like we were not working hard. Nice to be validated by all that we KNOW is part of the job and having that acknowledged.
