I'm so excited to see all of these aspiring speech pathologists on the site! Be sure to join the Q&A boards to help you get through clinicals!

If you're all about tech and speech therapy, I had a great interview with Barbara Fernandez (aka Geek Barbara) about entrepreneurship. She has her own business called Smarty Symbols that's helped SLPs across the globe! Check out the episode on youtube.com/@pediatricspeechsisternetwork

Hello everyone! I just joined and am excited to be a part of this community!

"Praxis® mistake #3: Engaging in Negative Self-Talk! Often times when we’re pressured or stressed, It’s easy to lose sight of how AMAZING you are. Take hold of self-sabotaging thoughts and remind yourself you are right where you’re meant to be.

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!"

Praxis® mistake #2: You’re “Winging It”! We’ve ALL been guilty of this. In fact, it’s even natural for us to “wing it” with our session activities! However, “winging it” is not recommended for your professional certification exam.

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!

Praxis® mistake #1: You don’t have a set study plan! Having a study plan will keep you on the right track toward your goals! Although it might seem tedious, establish and following a study plan will keep you accountable and ease uncertainty.

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!

* Not having a study plan
* Winging it
* Engaging in negative self-talk
* Avoiding taking practice quizzes
* Having TOO many study materials

I’m eager to share more details about how SLPs can be interventionists for domestic violence survivors. Stay tuned!

I'm going LIVE tomorrow (7/19/2023) on Youtube with Jordyn Carroll for a discussion on Black hair and the phrase, "Don't Touch My Hair" in the profession and speech therapy.

Hey #speechies 🗣️ I know that graduate school can seem like a daunting journey but it’s important to remind ourselves that we are intelligent, capable, and amazing in every step of the way. Feeding into any type of negative self-talk will only cause our mental health to suffer so we must actively try to combat those feelings that are rooted in imposter syndrome. It’s easier said than done, so I wanted to share 5 things that are important to remember. Let me now if you want a Part 2!

⭐️5 things to remember in graduate school

1. You already have the skills you need to succeed.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask your questions!
3. The only people who don’t make mistakes, are the people who don’t try.
4. Aim to be a better person than you were yesterday, not in comparison to anyone else.
5. School is just one aspect of your life, it is not everything.
