Thank you !!!!!!!! First I will admit that I am fortunate that I have a great space. … However everything else is spot on for me. I am having those moments where I absolutely love my work as an slp… but I am so so frustrated with constantly tying to advocate that I do so much more than just articulation (which is important)..but the scope of our training is so much more. I am frustrated with people who address the communication needs in meeting without deferring to the slp. The point you made about compensating for the certifications , licenses etc. spot on for me. When i request compensation for pd the response I typically get: “the funds have been depleted”. So often i have to pay for my own required professional development. Thank you for your post…. it felt good that I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.

I really like the way you used the topic of concern as an acronym to describe the influencing factors! Well done.

Loved what you had to say. I loved it when my father-in-law told me, “I could watch you do your job for three weeks and then be able to do what you do.”
