The first time I've heard about Speech Language Pathologist is after The Diagnosis. I mean, come on.... a job to play and get kids to open up their mouth and talk? How difficult can that be? Phew! I was so so wrong. These people faces the challenges of creating miracles in every child they see. To me, it's pretty much a miracle, if my SLP can initiate words from my princess. Praise the Lord, that I do see miracles now and then.
I've been following this blog of a mother who is a speech pathologist by profession, and parent to 2 kids with special needs. She shared an article on the Traits of a good SLP. Thought it might be useful for anyone looking towards this area.
*on a different note, I think most of the traits listed should apply to all therapist that works with children with special needs.
