Pros
As a new grad, I’ve felt very supported by my clinical supervisor and the broader SLP team, and there is a clear structure for mentorship and asking questions without feeling judged. The interdisciplinary model is a huge plus; I collaborate regularly with OTs, ABA therapists, and diagnostic providers, and I’ve learned a ton from joint sessions and informal hallway consults. This has helped me feel much more confident treating autistic and neurodivergent kids with complex needs. The overall team culture is genuinely positive: people celebrate each other’s “wins,” are open to sharing resources, and are willing to jump in to help with tricky parent conversations or behaviors. I appreciate that leadership often talks about patient- and family-centered care and you can see that in practice most of the time, especially in how teams problem-solve for kids who are stuck.
Cons
Caseload and schedule can feel intense, especially during certain seasons; last‑minute changes and coverage can be stressful when you’re still learning time management as a new grad.
