Don't say I told you so...
LauraI don’t often talk about my job here. My work as a speech-language pathologist for a non-public school serving developmentally and emotionally disabled children requires that I respect their privacy. However, I think it may be possible to speak in such general terms that I could possibly make a few remarks.
To say the job is challenging would be an understatement. The laws surrounding special education require a related service provider such as me to almost be superhuman. One can’t get sick or have family emergencies because the students one serves must get their services at all costs. It’s the law, friends! However, there is another law written on our hearts that makes this job all the more challenging. If I fail these kids, they lose the ability to make the connections in their lives that really matter.
