I think, initially, the biggest challenge as a new SLP will be learning how to operate as my own clinician outside of the "bubble" of graduate school with lots of supervision, guidance, and direct access to research/experts in the field.  I also agree that keeping up with a large caseload, managing time efficiently, and navigating those harder conversations with clients/family members. -Eliza Jane Sessions

Balancing a large caseload, individualized instruction, paperwork, and new research  to make sure I am providing my clients with the best services possible.

I honestly think it will be knowing when to discharge a patient. I think I will want to always be able to help them in some way. -Eileen

I think staying up-to-date with research across a wide scope and a large caseload will be a huge challenge for me to work through. Even within one specific setting, I will always encounter different cases that I may not know how to address.  -Molly O.

Knowing when, where, how to implement the correct strategy to ensure I am providing the best therapy as possible.

I feel that it may be challenging to try to synthesize all this information to make it applicable for use with my clients. I feel like it will take me some time to just get used to implementing all that we have learned, but I'm excited.

Balancing caseloads, staying up to date with research, changing intervention so it doesn't feel like you are doing the same things over and over again when you have similar type clients. I also feel like navigating how to manage parents/caregivers will sometimes be a challenge -Sarah Hudgins

Remembering alllll of the literacy interventions that we learned and knowing how to implement the best one for specific clients..I am so glad that we have all of our information from this semester to keep as a resource and know that we will learn more as we go along but anxious about first starting out

I think keeping up with new niche research will be difficult at the beginning. I hope that more and more people will be working towards closing the gaps like the asha leader article by Meredith Harold talked about.

I think the learning curve will be pretty big at the beginning. I know we have had a lot of clinical experience, but I think managing all of it full time will be a new challenge!

Our field is great and challenge because of how broad our scope is. It will be hard transitioning to certain areas once you have come accustomed to another.

I believe my biggest challenge in my future career as an SLP will be managing the busy caseloads of a school SLP and all the IEP paperwork!  (BH)

I think finding time to stay kept up with all of the new literature and best practices will be challenging. I’ll definitely need to sign up for a service like the informed SLP! Also interacting with parents And caregivers can be difficult sometimes.

Not to echo what everyone else has said, but keeping up with current practices can be difficult. Our field changes so much, and I definitely find that to be a good thing since someone is always researching something new! Balancing using current practices with new and upcoming practices can be difficult. (Liz Deutchki)

I think a lack of time will be a big challenge as new SLPs, which will impact our ability to manage our caseloads, complete documentation, and stay up to date with research so we can implement the most up-to-date treatments

My biggest challenge will probably be picking the the best intervention for my client based on his/her needs.

i think keeping up with new and current research and sharing the research efficiently with our peers

My biggest challenge in my career as an SLP will probably be working with adults and individuals with lower literacy rates. It is more challenging to find was to best support these individuals especially in a medical setting to promote their safety and understanding of why we are targeting what we are targeting. It will be difficult to find ways to explain that while still taking into consideration that they are adults and so not making it to childish while still making it simple for them to understand.

I think my biggest challenge will be keeping up with the research and finding exactly what works best with each student and recognizing that can be a trial error process and i need to adapt

time management

I agree that it will be a challenge to keep up the research, but I also think it will be difficulty serving a diverse caseload.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my biggest challenge will be encountering diagnoses/cases that I am unfamiliar with! It will be hard to figure out evidence-based interventions without the support of a supervisor like in grad school.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest challenge will just be staying up to date with the research and protocols that are best practice since I won’t be actively provided it in classes or searching it for classes. Just reminding myself to stay on top of that.

Knowing the gray areas/my position in literacy as an SLP compared to a reading coach, resource teacher, special ed teacher, and general ed teacher. Also in that, balancing my time between all clients.

I think balancing caseloads and staying up to date on the current research may prove difficult at first!

Our scope of practice can be overwhelming and I think we know a good amount about each area, but definitely some more than others. I think the hardest part of practicing will be drawing on clinical and academic knowledge to best serve patients- Lallie

I believe keeping up with the research and learning how to translate relevant information into my practice will be the biggest challenge. I feel like it will be hard when we are supposed to have such busy caseloads!

I think my biggest challenge as an SLP will be staying up to date on current research! It’s so important to guide practice, but sometimes I imagine it would be difficult to consciously make time in your already busy day to review the literature.
