…unpredictable.

…messy.

…ever-changing and evolving.

…hard work.

…getting into the minds of your clients.

…sometimes exhausting.

…delightfully fun.

…is about teaching social skills.

…all about being flexible.

…sometimes going to plan B when plan A didn’t work.

…about learning while playing.

…about teaching more than just sounds.

…not just “playing games.”

…about multi-tasking.

…forming relationships with clients, families, and co-workers.

…more than just goals and objectives.

…small measures of progress.

…listening.

…about helping people communicate in any form they can.

…about collaboration.

…all about that moment when you see the lightbulb go off in a student’s head.

…sometimes not really knowing what to do next.

…researching evidenced based practice.

…something that might keep you up at night.

…asking for help from other SLPs.

…one of the best jobs out there!
