Any Cali SLP’s in the house (bowl)?

New to the city.
How do you all get through the constant gray and gloom? Especially with the lockdowns: with gyms closed, and constant drizzle - what outdoor activities do you do?

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

I’m currently in internal audit and hate it. I got a job offer to joint another practice within my firm and the work itself sounds very appealing. The only major drawback is 80-100% travel. Thoughts?

Any Recommendation institute or website that offered access to SAP ARIBA or EWM Instance Training Server ?

Discuss the pros and cons of a partner who boomeranged out to industry and came back vs. a partner who’s a consulting lifer. Who does better in the long run?

Off topic - I will be moving to Hyderabad soon and planning to get my Delhi number 4 wheeler along. I don’t plan on changing the registration number. Do cops create problems for outside number vehicles without NOC?

How is job security in PwC India?

Is 30k bump in pay worth the move from a large bank to a series D start up?

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

How does a person get connected with recruiters in their field? I’m in branding and marketing

Do you think the changes in parents options for schooling: pods, private, home-schooling, virtual will open the way for private providers to hold a case-load of school age students, beyond just PK?

Welcome!!! I hope this bowl is a welcoming and safe place for all school based SLPs to share our daily struggles and triumphs and a resource to ask for practical advice.

So my district’s school board just met, still no plan or direction. Staff goes back Monday 😕. Honestly I can believe I am part of something like this

What is your school district’s reopening plan?

Should we actually start posting our rates and salaries?? I work for stepping stones group, I was recruited under a travel contract and they tried to renege. My current offer is for 62/ hour but direct service only aka I only get paid if I’m with kids/ Medicaid billing.

Boom cards. Worth the investment?

Hello SLP team!! What are your average completion rates/ how much of your weekly times are you meeting? I’m really struggling right now and I’m afraid I’ll appear as low productivity

A shout out to our new member!!! Thanks for joining!!! In the comments drop where you are from. Almost Heaven West Virginia here🙋🏻‍♀️

Ready for winter break?

My district just voted to go back 100% capacity beginning March 1st. Is anyone in this bowl already doing this? How has it gone? Are you fully vaccinated yet?

Thoughts on the vaccine???

Is your district providing SLP’s PPE or are you responsible for supplying your own? I have heard a ton about teachers and feel that we are being lumped in with them. Districts are not recognizing that we are health care professionals working in an academic environment. We are at much higher risk do to the nature of our work.

Anyone got vaccination shots yet. I got my first one of the Pfizer vaccine on Friday. I have only had one side effect. Very tired!

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Sup my Speechies? How’s break?
