I made a comment on a Tiktok, "Reb for the rebrand" (love her) posted about how her sister is studying to be a Speech Pathologist and how a guy who was trying to pick her up assumed that meant she was training to read lips. 💀 My comment (it was hyperbole, don't take it seriously) was 'as a speech pathologist, honestly doctors don't know what we do.' The amount of speech pathologists commenting their frustration on the lack of knowledge about our profession breaks my heart a little!

Have you ever wondered why I decided to become a speech-language pathologist? Well, let me tell you, it wasn't some emotional story that led me down this path. In fact, I wasn't the brightest kid in the class, and getting into medical college seemed like a far-fetched dream. I tried biomedical science to get into med school, but that didn't work out either. Then, I stumbled upon speech-language pathology, and I instantly fell in love with the scope of it! I dig it when people go, "Hey, are you the SLP?" Being a male in the game isn't the norm, but I love proving I'm just as qualified and competent to rock this practice! Why, you ask? Well, I've been talking a little fast (not little) since childhood, and people used to laugh at me for it. They would often say, "It's okay, take your time, we aren't going anywhere" or "Say it again." I didn't know what to do and where to go! Have you ever come across adults who suddenly lose the ability to speak due to a stroke, but were unable to receive any help because of the lack of awareness? Or have you seen kids with special needs being left out and not receiving the attention they need because of the same reason? It's sad to see that a lack of awareness can have such a significant impact on people's lives. I've seen it! Then I knew I had chosen the right path and that it was not a mistake. Now, I'm on a mission to help as many people as I can. We often take speaking ability for granted because we never had to work for it. But imagine losing it suddenly? Speech, voice, anything? It's a scary thought! But don't worry, I'm here to help. Whether you're struggling with a stutter, need help with your voice, or have any other speech-related issue, I'm here to assist you. So, let's work together to make sure you can communicate with confidence and ease! #BreakingNorms #SpeechTherapy #SLP
