How can I be an SLP that incorporates ASL in my practice?
Hi there! I've studied ASL all through high school and college (I'm a senior in college now), originally double majoring in ASL and speech pathology - now just majoring in SLP and minoring in ASL. I desperately want to incorporate ASL into being an SLP, but I've had professors tell me it's impossible/too rare of a circumstance to make a career out of. My question(s): Is it really impossible? What can I do to be able to to both in the future? I've been told to just say that I'm "deaf friendly" to patients, but what area of SLP would that fall into? My original thought was to offer ASL or re-learning spoken speech to those who lose it from trauma, like severe Dysarthria, but that's where I was told it wasn't 'a thing'. Does anyone have any input or advice? Thanks! #ASL #SLP #american-sign-language #speech-language-pathology
Is it challenging to find a job in deaf education?
I am currently really interested in ASL studies and am looking into minoring in American-Sign Language in college along with a major in something in Health Science. I do not know much sign-language yet, but it's never too late to learn! I am just curious how hard it would be to find job opportunities if I really like the study and decide to focus my career on ASL. #college-major #education #college-minor #academic-advising #health-science #asl #deaf
