When I was in school, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do. I had so many interests, so I was all over the map when it came to choosing a path, and signing up for classes. It was in a childhood psychology class where I figured out I really wanted to work with children, but I knew I didn't want to be a classroom teacher. Sorting my options, I observed a friend of my mom's who worked in a clinic as an SLP. I loved seeing speech pathology in action and knew this was the right choice for me, especially in a school setting.
I had experience with teletherapy prior to coming on board, and while I was looking for a change, the positive reviews from current employees and the overall culture really attracted me. Ultimately, I was drawn to the support available for the therapists, both from the DotCom Therapy executive team and other therapy team members.
Having worked in the teletherapy setting for awhile now, I'm still so happy about the overall flexibility it provides, both in my personal life and the way I provide services. I love having more time to spend with my kids [and I LOVE spending less time in my car!]. I also like how excited my students get about the virtual aspect of teletherapy. Plus, I no longer have to cut out shapes and laminate things. Such a perk.
