In about a month, I'll be starting my last semester of graduate school at CSUN. My last clinical placement will be in a public school, so hopefully by the end of this week, I'll finally know what school I will be working as a graduate clinician. Any recommendations on navigating speech & language intervention in the schools?

Hey #speechies 🗣️ I know that graduate school can seem like a daunting journey but it’s important to remind ourselves that we are intelligent, capable, and amazing in every step of the way. Feeding into any type of negative self-talk will only cause our mental health to suffer so we must actively try to combat those feelings that are rooted in imposter syndrome. It’s easier said than done, so I wanted to share 5 things that are important to remember. Let me now if you want a Part 2!
⭐️5 things to remember in graduate school
1. You already have the skills you need to succeed.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask your questions!
3. The only people who don’t make mistakes, are the people who don’t try.
4. Aim to be a better person than you were yesterday, not in comparison to anyone else.
5. School is just one aspect of your life, it is not everything.

Navigating the insurance procedure as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) in a commercial context can be difficult. Insurance plans and coverage can vary greatly, making it difficult to know which treatments are covered and how to bill for them. SLPs, on the other hand, can effectively manage the insurance process and ensure that their clients obtain the services they require with a little preparation and understanding.
