Graduating soon feeling underprepared!

Hi all I am in my final year of my speech therapy masters program and I am feeling beyond unprepared. I do well in class and have am a fast learner on clinical placements but as my graduation gets closer I feel more and more unprepared. I don’t feel like I could walk into the world of pediatric speech therapy and know what to do. I wonder if this is a general feeling due to the wide spectrum of SLP job options or if I chose the wrong school for this program. I feel like I learned so much about the pathology aspect of learning difficulties and TBIs but when it comes to things like lisps or speech impediments I’m completely lost. I have a 6 y/o nephew who struggles with speech and intelligibility and I wouldn’t even know where to start or how to dissect the problem. I’m hoping I’m not the only one who feels like this and that there will be a very understanding supervisor in my first job post grad.
