Different Types of SLP Settings

It can’t be said enough: Speech-language pathologists are SO MUCH MORE than speech!

Our scope is broad, which means we can be found almost anywhere! Not just schools or private practices. So which settings can SLPs work in and how can you decide which setting is right for you?

While there are too many to cover in this one YouTube episode, let’s start by breaking it down into three categories.

Watch and Enjoy!

i'm a college freshman and recently discovered this career path and i could not be happier. not only have i finally found something I can do but i also found something that i'm passionate about. your videos have helped me so much into making this decision 💗

This is so encouraging. I thought for sure I wanted to go into acute rehab before grad school. Then in grad school I wanted to do EI because I have several years of experience with 0-4 year olds. Then I LOVED my medical placement at an acute care hospital during my last semester in grad school. Now I’m searching for CF jobs and was recently offered positions at a private practice and a SNF and I worry about not being able to transition back in forth if I find out it’s not for me. Thanks for sharing your experience! It really makes me feel as though I’m not going to be stuck if I end up not living where I start as a CF.

Should I also be taking business classes if I want to open a PP.

This is an amazing video. So informative & you speak in a way that's interesting & not reading but you are. (Or you're a genius & spit all this out off the top of your head)
