[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the parent of a child (now teen) who started speech at 1.5. He attended a school-based program at 2 so naturally the staff (SLPs and grad students) changed diapers if needed. Look for a job with an older age group if this is a deal-breaker or use this job as a stepping stone to something better. $40 an hour might not seem like a high salary today but you are clearly just starting out. Some fields pay less than others so you can’t compare your salary to anybody else’s but a recent grad SLP. The SLPs we had in private practice made much more than those in schools/facilities but you have to start somewhere. [/quote]

OP here. There is no way a graduate clinician was changing your kid's diaper. Sorry, no. That wasn't happening because graduate clinicians are not getting paid and that is not what we are there to do. We are there to learn during our clinical placements. I've checked with several other SLPs regarding my dilemma while trying to decide on this job. My graduate school supervisor said in her 35 years in early intervention (birth to three), she has never once been asked to change a diaper. The paras do it.[/quote]
