Our rural district in Kentucky is facing this SLP shortage. We have several teletherapists and contract therapists. I think another reason for the school shortage is the lack of flexibility some districts provide. Some districts really try to stay away from part-time. My district has always worked with me as I have been part-time for several years. That's the way things are trending with how expensive childcare is. Anyway, I loved this course because it hits home.

I think this presentation really demonstrates the importance of different departments coming together to make the schools successful as a whole and any type of setting to work together as a team. It is so significant for success for everyone to understand all the roles and participate together. It will be a positive situation for everyone.

I work in Gwinnett and we have had ongoing shortages in our district and my school specifically. The ideas you have shared are so practical and I look forward to recommending this course to other SLPs in our district. Great job with your efforts to implement changes in your district and to fully staff your schools with direct hire, in-person SLPs. I also love the tiers of support. Well done!

The information provided in the course.

The involvement of all of the team players and the fact that it really took time and staying the course to see the necessary changes.

I though the presentation was interesting and well organized. The fact the outcomes have already indicated success is amazing. I have never worked in school setting but worked with and supervised clinicians working with students that haven't been evaluated by the schools and it is gratifying to see that in GA (at least this school system) is actively working towards addressing these needs

Our district/lead SLP does not always explain the why and how of the information they are ask for. They talked a lot about meeting with HR with no explanation of what would be discussed. They took information from us about our workday and made it seem as if we shouldn't be stressed and it made it look like we were not working hard. Nice to be validated by all that we KNOW is part of the job and having that acknowledged.
