What do you think your biggest challenge will be in your career as an SLP? by Suzanne Adlof Lewis https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9 Looking back and looking forward en-us 2021-04-20 20:54:13 UTC 2021-04-20 22:37:13 UTC hello@padlet.com http://www.achievementcenteredtherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Emotive-Journaling-shutterstock_110027378.jpg https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440151528 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.

I feel like it will be hard when we are supposed to have such busy caseloads! ]]> 2021-04-20 22:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440152094 https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440152196  
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

Just reminding myself to stay on top of that. ]]> 2021-04-20 22:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440152916 bradfoa https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440153228 I think my biggest challenge will be encountering diagnoses/cases that I am unfamiliar with!

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. ]]> 2021-04-20 22:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440153461 https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440153866 i think keeping up with new and current research and sharing the research efficiently with our peers]]> 2021-04-20 22:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440153866 https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440154145 My biggest challenge will probably be picking the the best intervention for my client based on his/her needs. ]]> 2021-04-20 22:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440154145 https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440154270 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]]> 2021-04-20 22:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440154270 https://padlet.com/suzannealewis/o12acsu2edggijf9/wish/1440154784 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.
