IAmA Speech Therapist (SLP). I've worked in 8 schools in 3 states over the last 3 years. AMAA

Hi! I'm a speech-language pathologist working in the school system. I've worked in 8 different schools and a non-school pediatric placement (hippotherapy) over the last 3 years. I tend to do short-term placements filling maternity leaves or covering positions that other people are unwilling to fill. I've worked in 5 elementary schools (including substantially separate classrooms for language based disorders and severe autism), one middle school, and two high schools (one public and one residential private). This has covered 2 states in New England and I'm currently in NYC working in a Bronx elementary school and a Harlem high school. AMAA

Edit: Silly spelling/grammar stuff.

Edit 2: I know I just posted this, but I'm headed to bed for the night, but I'll reply in the morning. :) I know this may not generate huge interest, but I love talking about what I do.

Update: Wow! These have been some great questions. I feel like I'm calling on some knowledge that I'd forgotten I had. I expected more questions about the public school side of it (IEPs, young woman working in Harlem high school, etc) but I'm loving the specific speech-related questions! Keep 'em coming! :)
