I have a degree in Early Childhood Education & special intervention. I was an elementary teacher for 3 years and decided it’s not for me. I have started to explore the option of being an SLP. However, the thought of not being able to get into grad school is terrifying 😳
I would try not to think about it that way! One step at a time. If you’re really interested in the career you can make it happen!!! Plus you’ve already got a great background for SLP. We’re rooting for ya! 💕
Hi! I feel exactly the same way. I don't think teaching is for me and I'm considering SLP
I was a kindergarten teacher for 3 years. I felt I was missing something and I returned to school. Best choice I ever made! I finished my leveling courses and am currently waiting for my SLPA license. I will be applying for grad school soon as well. You can do it!!
Congrats Haley! I’m located in Oklahoma and am about to graduate from the only SLPA program in Oklahoma in May! The program is 2 years long which means we get our associate’s degree and are able to get an SLPA job without a bachelor’s degree. For our clinical hours, we had to have 50 direct and 50 indirect for 2 semesters. It’s so cool to hear how every state is different for SLPAs!
Thank you! 💕 Congrats to you too! You’re so close to graduating.
And wow! That’s so interesting. Very cool to hear about how different your experience has been. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for this! I’ve been nervous about the whole process (still am a little bit). I’ve been a Behavior Interventionist for 7 years and have decided I want to switch to SLP!
found you guys through reddit, and i'm enjoying this video as I work on my personal statement! thanks for the fun watch!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching :)
This podcast is so helpful and awesome. We need more slp videos on here. Thank you for your efforts :))
Of course! Thanks for your support!! 💕
Thank you for your videos! I’m interested in hearing about your online grad school experience. Would you be willing to share with us?
Yes! We will be sharing as I go along!
Congratulations Haley!!!♥️ Love you beautiful girl!
Thank you!! 💕
What was the link on ASHA to find the accredited grad school programs. I’m starting to gather all the schools I’m wanting to apply to next fall.
Here you go! find.asha.org/ed/#sort=relevancy
I am in the process of applying for an online graduate program. Hopefully I can get in
Good luck!!! 🤞🤞
Congrats Haley!
Thank you!
would you recommend doing volunteer work during your undergrad? would this volunteer work really make an impact when applying to grad school?
In my opinion, the most important impact is your gpa! If your gpa is good, then volunteer/leadership work that relates to the speech therapy field can be helpful and add to your application. Also any internships or observation hours are great to add as well. 😊
Yes...GPA bars most individuals...but experiences do matter, but don't let them affect your GPA negatively...you can always voulteer after your degree...your GPA is your GPA
What are soap notes?
What did you guys do for money in the meantime? How were you able to cover bills ?
Haley is working as a SLPA and some other side jobs full time during her grad school and Melissa just focused on school full-time 😊
