So true my great Aunt is dying of a stroke. I have enrolled to be a speech pathologist. I am ok but the nurses were so upset as the swallowing test did not pick up major swallowing issues. As soon as I said I was a prospective speech pathology student. They saw me as a source of comfort. I told them that they were doing a good job but she misses her husband and never recovered. Nurses really love speech pathologists because when we do swallowing tests we have the patient’s life in our hands. So we get how scary it is to have someone’s life in your hands. I felt so happy that I was able to be a source of comfort to them. Such a great profession.
I’m going into my first semester of my undergrad Speech Pathology major this fall and I am so excited. I’ve talked about doing this for almost a decade and finally getting this off the ground is unreal! I look to these videos for inspiration! Thank you!
happyfacespider That’s so amazing!!
I would love more videos on speech pathology!
You explained our career so well!
And I’m an introverted person and very shy with anxiety but I’m also a people person too I love people helping and am very caring I hope this will work for me the SLPA because I want to be independent and have a career
Same here! I’m currently a nursing major but the anxiety has been getting to me so I may consider switching to slp
This is the current mental dilemma i am having while considering a possible career for my future,i am extremely introverted,shy and have massive amoints of anxiety,but at the same time,i love helping people become better and healthier versions of themselves,it fills me with such happiness sharing compassion and bettering the lives of others,but i am quite conflicted as this is a very social Job
Hi, thank you for speaking about your experience as a introverted person. I am also very shy and awkward at social skills, and I have ASD. But I’m still very interested in helping people and wanting to study SLP. Would you like to update or share your progress or current feelings about SLP?
You are pure gold thank you so much for your speech pathology videos. It is because of you that I am now sure that I want to be a speech therapist. Thank you so much for what you are doing for the CZcams community.
Jamari Watts omg thank you so much that makes me so happy 💖 it really is such a great field, good luck :)
Your passion for this field is very obvious. Keep doing a great job of introducing this field to young minds who might consider SLP as a career one day.
Thank you so much
hi, thankyou so much for making this video! i’ve been debating on switching my major for elem. education to slp but i’ve been a little nervous because i’ve always been familiar w education but was just recently introduced to slp! you’ve definitely helped me to understand what becoming an slp entails! 🥰
Please make more videos on SLP! I am so interested in this field. You should talk about your college experience.
Becky Luna I will:) I’ve just been so busy with grad school this semester but I’m going to get some videos out soon !
This video helped tremendously, thank you so much 💕
I'm currently a primary school teacher in Australia. I'll be starting my Masters in speech next year and I can't wait! So over with how teachers are treated.
I recently decided to leave nursing school during my last year to pursue speech language pathology. Part of the reason was the insane stress nurses go through everyday and having people’s lives in our hands..I was wondering if stress is a big part of a speech language pathologists life?? Obviously some stress is good but not the amount I was experiencing as a nurse..This video was super helpful btw! You have a very soothing voice so it was easy to listen to and very informative!! 😅
Blank I would say the amount of stress shouldn’t be as much as a nurse! The only time an SLP may experience that stress is if they’re working in a medical setting since they do technically have someone’s life in their hands when doing swallowing therapy. But as as SlP there are so many different options and settings so you don’t have to focus on swallowing therapy if that’s not what you want to do! 😌
I did the same thing! Switched from nursing to SLP and currently applying the graduate schools. Good luck Em :))
@@nic9479 So glad you’re doing what makes you happy! It’s not always easy to make a big change like ours. Good luck to you as well!
@@Emilieclare thank you!
I’m still deciding my major and I just feel iffy towards nursing... but I’m looking at other medical careers and everyone’s saying nursing is better bc it’s better pay and more job opportunities. Idk what to do lol
Thank you so much for this! I’m a junior in high school considering this field, and this was very helpful.
Sameee, it’s crazy how we need to pick out a field and there’s so many awesome ones😭
It’s been a year. How are you? Still considering SLP? (I took a detour thinking about teaching but I’m back.) 🙂
I’m studying SLP in Czech Republic and I had some doubts if its right for me but I have to say that this video made me think more about it and I think i've made the right choice ☺️
This is great. I start speech pathology in March 2024. I am so excited
In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of choosing SLP as a career as opposed to going into something like psychology or medicine? The reason I’m comparing them is that I consider all 3 to be “helping professions” in the sense of having that direct impact, so I was wondering if you could touch on why SLP stood out to you as the field that you ultimately decided to go into (if you ever considered anything else like those other careers I mention)? I’m also wondering about this career in terms of licensing procedures and how difficult/easy it would be to move from one country to another as an SLP professional compared to the other careers I mentioned. Thanks!
Great video! I'm starting my first semester of post-bach classes for SLP. I already have a bachelors in bio and recently learned about the field. Could you possibly do more videos on how to get into SLP programs and more on what your program is like?
Thank you:) and yes of course I plan on making a lot more videos about SLP !
So true it has a holistic approach
I think I really wanna to be a speech pathologist! But I need to pray and ask god if this is the right path and I can relate to the kids because I have a IEP and had to take speech. But I worry because of having that if I may struggle with pronunciation of certain words lol.
Yogiagurl I think a lot of people get speech as a child! I know a lot of people that got speech therapy when they were younger and are flourishing now as adults :) but it really depends on the person and the situation of course, but do not let the fact that you had speech as a kid stop you! You can do anything you set your mind to I think :)
Jessica Izzo you’re right !! ❤️❤️
Hi! Thanks so much for this vid! My major is communication sciences and disorders currently and I have been questioning changing it but your vids have been helping me! I’m wondering if you plan to be apart of ASHA?
very appreciated!
Ahh makes me so excited to start my slp major in september🤩
ahhh good luck!:)
I am planning on going to school for speech pathology in 2022 I’m only going to be a freshman in college 2020 but I’ve wanted to be a speech pathologist ever since is was 10 and this video helped a lot and I subscribed
Lexi Loves Life That’s awesome, good luck with everything :)
love ur video. im a bcba and considering studying slp at mcgill
i’m in slp major i would love to know more about and feel more inspired about it cause i wasn’t my first option but i’m already liking 🥰
so glad to hear:)
I love your insight♥️ you made me more motivated to major in this field thanks for that🙂
Helen Ojeda that makes me so happy, you got this 💖👍🏻
I’ll be a sophomore (undergrad) in my program and I’ll be starting my real coursework this coming semester! It’s online due to the pandemic which is a bummer.
Carrie Goodman yeah online class is so much different than in person, hopefully it’s still a good experience!
I love your humility. I am studying speech pathology and how do you cope with the work load?
It’s my first semester, and it’s challenging! I really underestimated the field, but it’s so worth it!
you’re amazing. you got this!!
What would you say is the most stressful part?
Where do you go to college? i’ve been super interested in this career pathway but have been struggling with where i should pursue it !
I searched a lot about this major and I liked it so much, it made me desired to study it. Although next month or so, I will finish my bachelor's degree from the English language department.
Hey, I’m an English major as well and I was wondering if you were able to get into a slp masters program with an English major? I know a lot of people come from psychology or teaching so I’m wondering if I can even do this with an English degree
Actually, I didn't found a scholarship to support me taking a master degree. As for your concern, I've searched about that too and I've found a lot of universities accepted an English degree because it's somehow related to the field, and also there are universities offer prerequisite courses before you start studying Speech-language pathology as well.
Hey Jessica! I heard that SLP's take their work (e.g. paperwork, research, etc.) home. Is that true for all SLP's or only for those working in specific settings or with specific populations?
Marwa it really depends on the setting you or place that you work! I’ve heard a lot of people say they don’t take any work home, but I’ve also heard people say they do, it really all depends!
The college I live near has a masters in SLP, but not a bachelors. I’m not able to move. What would be the best bachelor degree substitutes to prepare for a masters in SLP? Thanks!
I have a question I am currently at a community college in my 2nd semester and I am required to take a foreign language all 4 semesters, was this true for you ?
HI Jessica, I am so inspired by your video. I am French Brazilian live in Paris and looking forward to change career from Economic/Management science to a career that is exactly how you describe Speech Pathology : ). I would love to exange and learn more about. it, I hope to have the change to integrate to it. I should probably do some volunteering in the field to find out more about it. Thank you so much for all you shared.
Lidianne Ribeiro that’s amazing Lidianne :) volunteering or observing an SLP is a great way to learn more about the field!
Hi! May I ask the reason why you decided to change your major? I mean I was hoping to pursue a economics degree as well and still cannot decide whether it's the one.
Off topic but you are so pretty !
Thank you!:)
Hi i have a question my name is Nicole I’m 24 I want to become a SLPA but how hard is it or difficult to become a SLPA and then SLP I will try my best but I’ve been having anxieties what if I never finish and what if I never get a job or what if I get a job and get fired thank you for sharing your videos I really appreciate it😊♥️
-Ive been looking a lot into slp but I'm 24 right now if I were to do a bachelors and master i probably wouldnt graduate till I'm like 30 idk if it's worth it
Question! Can you get a different undergrad degree and then get into the masters program? I’m in social work right now, but I’m thinking of going in SLP. Am I already at a huge disadvantage?
you dont have to do speech pathology as an undergrad to get into SLP graduate school, but you may need to take a post baccalaureate program or take pre requisites in your graduate program as far as i know!
Hi ! So I’m going to college in the fall and I think I want to change my major from nursing to this. I was wondering in the 4 years of undergrad what did you get your bachelors in? & are the classes very stressful and hard ?
I’m going to be in a sorority and was wondering if this field will interfere with that
I’m a freshman next fall. I changed major from nursing to SLP I’m excited to explore more about this!! The university I will transfer too has a bachelor for audiology and speech
Hi! Did you major in communicative science and disorders in college? Or did you initially go down a different path?
Raya Yulo yes I majored in it in undergrad :)
I spent most of my life trying to find trades careers not finding anything that I felt passionate about. It wasn't until I spent time volunteering and promoting a children charity I realized my passion and skillset is talking to people and any time that I do something for someone even something small that helps someone or gives them a positive experience they wont forget I absolutely love that. School seems like a daunting thing since im a 36 year old with just a G.E.D and the pre-requisites seem high and it could be such a competitive program to get into. Do you have any advice or anecdotes for a mature student such as myself?
Hello! I have a question. Do speech pathologist wirth with people who have trouble with nonveebal communication as well as understanding social ques/body language?
yes they do:)
@@jessicaizzo5113 thank you !
🎉🎉Yep
I want to go into this field but I was never a science person and I am just so bad at science... This is holding me back because I am afraid I will fail all of the required classes and just fall behind... any advice for me?
Hi! I just got my degree in Speech Pathology and I wouldn’t consider myself to be very good at science but I made it through!! I think what’s so great about the science aspect of this major is that it’s all applicable and based on real life concepts. It’s not all about memorizing science formulas or incorporating math. You do need a mandatory science course (either physics or chem) to be ASHA certified. But overall the major courses in Speech are not so scary! What I like is that there is so many study guides available online for the speech science classes, quizlets really saved my life :)
I was a political science major and am looking at going to grad school for speech language pathology
Thanks for sharing. Can a liberal art student apply for master in this field? thanks.
You really sold this to me lol
Love you too baby 😍💗💓💓💓💓💝
Post more videos now
Hi, where do you live, I mean, the country?
New York!
