Agree. She may have been nice once but is clearly burnt out and shouldn’t be near kids (or any humans, really).

OP, how are you at coding and computer stuff? You’re going to need a complete career reset and it seems you don’t actually want to work with people (who, to be fair, can really suck).

OP, I see you ignored my advice because you were too wrapped up in insulting people, but it really is something worth exploring. In a clinical setting, you’ll meet with patients and parents who are more committed and focused. You’ll also taking on a new role in working with and guiding graduate students. You may even contribute to research and clinical trials.

Some of us on this thread are actually trying to support and help you.

One of my kids had speech issues and the SLPs were our angels - the only ones who got him.

Some ideas:
1. Go to the public schools
2. Approach a private school with kids with needs
3. Work at a hospital - whether with kids or adults
4. Are there any rehab / veteran's hospitals near you ?
5. Can you get a job at a university teaching SLP students? Even if it's just supervising clinical work, it's a start.
6. Can you set yourself up as an organizational tutor/ writing coach?
7. If you just want to change fields, could you look at jobs regarding kids/ special needs / elderly at a non-profit? I realize that might be a bit of a reach but I wonder if you might be able to make that jump if you frame your experience and grad degree properly.

I always thought SLP was a career path for retired sorority girls that need something to do during the day while their husbands make the real money.
