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.

We are being given the same amount as teachers I be
I’ve but I’m still buying a lot on my own.

At this time there is no set plan even my principal said she didn’t know what the hell was going on. So I am buying my own. I have started with scrubs and masks. There is no Lysol or Clorox wipes to had here but that and an air purifier are my next investment.

We are also being given some by our districts. We finally got them to purchase clear face mask for working with students in-person. Two other therapist I share an office with have been getting other PPE materials we may need and share the cost😪.

Yes, we have to buy our own with the exception of bottles of hand sanitizer, a roll of paper towels, disinfectant spray, 5 reusable masks

I got a face mask with a window bc I have students who are hearing impaired and I am getting a plexiglass divider from the county. The school forgot to include me in their order. Scrubs are not PPE. A teacher asked if teachers would be supplied scrubs, which struck me as weird. Scrubs protect you no better than regular clothes do. I asked a nurse friend about it and she said the only possible benefit you might get from scrubs would be if you left them at your workplace and then your work washed them for you. If you are managing your own scrubs, then you are still taking the germs home with you, no differently than your own clothes.

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss.

Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

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.
