A Day in the Life of SLPs in Various Settings
While ideally all CCC-SLPs would have the means to shadow each other to get a feel for what day-to-day life is like for another CCC-SLP, we know that this isn't always possible. One of the next best things to shadowing is to read "Day in the Life..." blog posts written by your fellow speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Both shadowing and these types of posts give you a sense for the daily operational, logistical, (and sometimes personal) factors that are not always covered in CEU workshops or academic coursework alone.
Several SLPs have already written blog posts about a "day in the life" in their setting, so we've compiled them below for your convenience.
