00:02:11 Ellie: Thanks for having me. I am excited to attach at the moment.
00:02:13 Hallie: Inform everybody a little bit bit about you and your SLP journey, to what you’re doing now.
00:02:19 Ellie: Certain. I’ve been working for about 15 years, have all the time labored in particular person. I’ve gone into properties, achieved dwelling well being. I’ve labored in nonprofits, and when 2020 occurred, I received my ft moist with digital providers. Begrudgingly, I didn’t wish to do it. After which it is grow to be sort of a ardour of mine to make digital providers extremely efficient and enjoyable for each events.
00:02:45 Hallie: And now you’re doing it through your personal personal observe.
00:02:49 Ellie: Sure, I’ve my very own personal observe. It is referred to as the Important Teletherapist. I work with faculties doing bilingual evaluations and direct remedy providers. I work throughout state strains in states like Illinois and Minnesota whereas I reside in St. Charles, St. Louis, Missouri space. I perform a little little bit of in-person with the faculties right here, however largely I work full-time nearly in different states.
00:03:15 Hallie: Superior. So for these that aren’t aware of teletherapy, as a result of I used to be not somebody from New York, the place there’s one million speech therapists. You realize, we are able to simply get a speech therapist employed by the district, or if not, an company to fill within the gaps. What’s some advantages working like, , for teletherapy?
00:03:34 Ellie: Certain. So, from the attitude of a college district, a lot of the college districts I work with are underserved with decrease assets, and it is actually laborious to search out high-quality suppliers in these areas. I’ve labored in very rural districts in Minnesota and Illinois. It’s extremely laborious to search out folks to come back in particular person full-time. So, numerous instances I’ll both step in and take a part of a caseload or I could be the one speech therapist there for a little bit bit. I sort of bebop round to completely different districts relying on folks’s wants, both doing maternity leaves or like a bilingual protection. I will deal with that for bits of time.
00:04:17 Ellie: However then additionally from the SLP’s perspective, I really feel like as I’ve gotten older and my household life has modified, we have had a wide range of well being conditions come up in our household. So for me, it is allowed me to proceed working at a capability that I wish to do for my profession whereas additionally sort of respecting my physique boundaries and what I can handle. So it is sort of been nice for the varsity districts who want assist, and it has been nice for me to permit me to maintain working whereas I’ve sort of recovered and gone by simply well being conditions basically. So.
00:04:56 Hallie: How did you determine what states to get licensed in and what states to offer the providers for?
00:05:03 Ellie: Certain. In Missouri, I have not discovered as a lot assist for digital providers, or perhaps not assist, however perhaps not as a lot of a necessity for digital providers in Missouri. I am certain there’s a want. It hasn’t come my manner, which is okay. I initially went to Illinois to cowl a buddy’s maternity depart. So I did get licensed in Illinois for that particular motive. Illinois was very tough to get licensed in. After which Minnesota, I labored for a special digital firm a couple of years again. And so to meet their wants, I received licensed there. However I’m anxiously awaiting the interstate compact to come back by. So hopefully we do not have to get a wide range of licenses to keep up.
00:05:52 Hallie: I am unable to think about the way to like dates and necessities and all that enjoyable stuff.
00:05:59 Ellie: I am very nervous about it.
00:06:01 Hallie: What made you determine? Since you talked about that you simply have been working for an additional firm. What made you determine to department out and go off by yourself?
00:06:08 Ellie: Yeah. So what occurred was I really had a child, and she or he got here two months early, and that sort of threw me for a loop, pondering, okay, I’ll most likely solely ever make what I am making now for the remainder of my profession if I keep the place I’m. And if I wish to sort of safe a greater monetary future for my youngsters. And if one thing like this ever occurred once more, the place we’re on this medical emergency, what am I going to do to offer for my household that’s extra sustainable and permits me extra freedom and peace and calm, and monetary stability? And so I used to be on my journey to depart, and I informed my husband, I used to be like, I feel I’ve to give up my job. And I feel I’ve to work for myself and sort of wager on myself and do one thing completely different to permit me to assist our household financially, but additionally time sensible. And it was simply such a wild time, however he was like, okay, we are able to make this occur.
00:07:08 Ellie: It was sort of nerve-wracking at first going out alone since you’re ready. It is a lot ready. You are working, that you simply’re not seeing the fruits of your labor. After which lastly contracts come by, and you are like, oh, I did not bamboozle my household. It is okay. Issues are working very well. In order that’s sort of how I made a decision to exit alone is I wanted to assume long run about my household and my profession, and sort of how they intersect.
00:07:32 Hallie: And I adore it that you simply stated that, , I won’t have seen the outcomes instantly, however I had it look long run and I needed to simply keep optimistic and understanding that there is so many individuals doing it now and proving that it is doable and there is so many assets out there on the way to begin and the way to find out about contracts and issues like that. Such as you’re not alone.
00:07:51 Ellie: No, by no means. In no way. There’s such an excellent community of individuals, and I’d say I’ve about 5 or 6 shut SLPs throughout the nation, and we speak each single day about enterprise and our caseload, and the way to do issues effectively, and sort of the way to downside clear up issues. So I really feel like I’ve a very robust assist community, they usually’re not all right here with me. I feel I’ve two folks close by which are very useful, however most of those folks reside in different states throughout the nation, and we’re all simply doing our personal little niches in personal observe. I’d say, myself and one different particular person on this group are digital. The remainder are in particular person.
00:08:38 Hallie: Attention-grabbing
00:08:39 Ellie: So we’ve a range. Yeah.
00:08:40 Hallie: Not even all digital. Wow. I adore it. And the neighborhood is crucial, particularly working teletherapy. You are dwelling. You are not having a coworker subsequent door, aside from perhaps your husband, to vent to. However like, there is not any one who will get it. So it is so essential.
00:08:57 Ellie: Completely. Sure. I really like working from dwelling, however I do not really feel like I am alone as a result of I am speaking with folks all day. I do not depend my pupil interactions as speaking.
00:09:09 Hallie: No, it is working.
00:09:13 Ellie: I really feel like it’s a must to be on. And I really feel just like the communication that I’ve with my friends after I’m not on really feel like is extra soul-fulfilling. So that is what I depend as my social interactions.
00:09:29 Hallie: What are some issues that you simply fearful about whenever you first, like, effectively, let’s return to only teletherapy basically. What you fearful about whenever you first began working with teletherapy that you simply want you might inform your previous self, like, that is the way you do it. What are some stuff you struggled with again then?
00:09:47 Ellie: The issues I struggled with again then was studying the way to talk with professionals who weren’t in my subject about enterprise ideas and the way to clarify what can be finest for our skilled relationship. As a result of numerous instances they’re getting, I am pondering particularly of particular schooling administrators and sort of explaining how digital speech remedy works and the way to make it prime quality and the way there are some issues that we actually want to emphasise and deal with and make a precedence for this to be a profitable partnership. And I am pondering, privateness, not doing issues in a hallway or below the bleachers. I needed to have—
00:10:34 Hallie: Cease that has occurred. I am assuming that you’d point out that.
00:10:37 Ellie: Yeah. And like having to clarify that if I am gonna have a bunch of speech remedy college students, they must have their cameras on. I am unable to do speech remedy with 4 black containers as a result of I take information trigger I do not know who’s talking and I’ve needed to have very specific conversations about that, that I did not notice I would must… I did not notice I needed to talk that. I assumed… I assumed everybody was on the identical web page, however I’ve discovered that I’ve needed to be very specific in what my wants are and that is been very difficult for me.
00:11:14 Hallie: Attention-grabbing. And I am assuming that it was most likely difficult to have these conversations at first, however as you began doing it extra typically, you turned far more snug with it.
00:11:24 Ellie: Now it feels nice. I imply, I’ve needed to finish a contract over some of these things and that was, I used to be sick to my abdomen over that, however I’ve needed to set up boundaries, skilled boundaries and work boundaries, in truth for my profit in addition to the scholars’ prime quality providers profit. And after they’re not being met, I am unable to be responsible for these selections. So I’ve discovered the way to create contracts and cancel contracts. And it has simply made me sick, however I really feel very assured now in how to do this in an expert method.
00:12:01 Hallie: I wanna speak extra about offering teletherapy in a bunch. Are you able to speak extra about that? I imply, I solely did it throughout COVID instances. In order that was like desperation they usually have been simply excited to see folks. And I actually simply, it was simply, , checking a field to say I did it. It wasn’t efficient remedy by any means. So I wanna understand how… speak about like, what does it appear like? How do you construction it? Ideas and methods to make it not make you wanna pull your hair out.
00:12:31 Ellie: Certain. So my max group is 2. If I will have the most effective sound high quality and the most effective visuals for my college students, I actually favor to solely have two college students sharing one laptop. Some folks wish to have college students on separate computer systems with headphones. That may work. I am not saying it does not work. The locations that I have been the place we have achieved that, they may… they’re going to attain over they usually’ll goof round with the opposite individuals to see their hand come by the opposite display. All that sort of stuff. So I am like, let’s simply… simply share one laptop, do not put on headphones as a result of it is one other tactile factor. So for me, that is my choice in teams and it really works completely effectively nearly. So I am speaking about teams of two college students doing digital providers.
00:13:17 Hallie: And have you ever had districts that say their IEP say 5 or three or no matter like add extra.
00:13:24 Ellie: What I discovered is they may attempt to squeeze in additional. And that is really one of many causes I’ve needed to skedaddle from a contract is that they wished me to see as many college students as doable and they’d throw all of them in a bunch and nobody was getting prime quality providers to the diploma that I hoped for. So we have been making very gradual progress and we needed to have some conversations about that. It is simply not efficient whenever you’re taking a look at the way to give prime quality digital providers. Teams better than two may be very tough. Ensuring everyone seems to be included and collaborating after which information assortment may be very tough in teams better than two. And that is simply my opinion.
00:14:17 Hallie: No, that is wonderful. However it’s wonderful that you simply’re like setting these boundaries and saying, sorry, that is it. If you would like the service, I am right here to offer it. That is what you are going to get. It is in the most effective curiosity of the youngsters on prime of it.
00:14:30 Ellie: Yeah, I am glad to group, simply not in teams better than two.
00:14:34 Hallie: I am inquisitive about articulation remedy through teletherapy. Any ideas for ensuring it is nonetheless efficient?
00:14:41 Ellie: So I do not need an issue with articulation remedy nearly. And I see numerous this within the Fb teams. Individuals have issue listening to completely different sounds. I am gonna be very sincere with you. Once I went all in for digital providers, I purchased an iMac and it has the most effective sound high quality. And I used to be an IBM lady. My dad labored for IBM his complete profession. I grew up, we have been solely allowed to have these merchandise. And after I began my personal observe, my husband did all this analysis on finest sound high quality and I do have headphones. They’re round right here. I’ve my headphones. They’re white. They have a growth mic and all the pieces, however I have not had to make use of them since I had my iMac. And I imply, the sound high quality is wonderful. I haven’t got hassle listening to these completely different sounds and other people will say, effectively, how do you even know that? I’ve a mother or father that is with me who sits again there. We examine data and I can hear everybody on the pc as in the event that they’re within the room with me. So I adore it.
00:15:46 Hallie: And attention-grabbing you say that as a result of I do not forget that was one factor that I’ve seen lots in Fb teams is like, , what instruments and issues do I want for teletherapy? And it is prefer it’s nearly as if that particular person’s in entrance of you do precisely what you’ll do if that particular person was in entrance of you. Are you able to inform us a little bit bit extra about that?
00:16:05 Ellie: Yeah, it’s remedy as it. The distinction is the digital literacy that it’s a must to go together with it. And I feel that may be a studying curve for folks. However we’ve all of those assets at our fingertips on-line. I largely use digital assets, however I do have a wide range of issues that I pull in my workplace. Let’s say I’ve a pompom that I’ve right here. It is really in speech time enjoyable colours, which is sort of humorous. I’ve a pompom. So when folks get issues proper, I’ve received my pompom and we’re cheering them on. However I’ve a doc digital camera that I exploit sometimes for my youthful college students, for the books that I’ve that I haven’t got digital variations of these books. These are sort of the issues I exploit. I really feel like my specialty has all the time been the youthful kids, elementary and youthful. So I’m very ready for all of that. I’ve discovered that I have been wanted within the center and highschool durations far more over the previous couple of years, which was new to me. I did not know what I used to be doing. So I’ll say I do use SLP Elevate supplies each day for my center and highschool youngsters. And that is been a sport changer, largely as a result of they get to select the theme. I allow them to decide no matter theme they need. We do not actually comply with the months. I am identical to, which matter would you want?
00:17:31 Ellie: After which you’ve gotten it organized so effectively for the literacy a part of it, which is numerous what my college students are engaged on, is sort of understanding what they’re studying. In order that’s numerous what I exploit proper now after I’m within the center to highschool part. That is my period.
00:17:38 Hallie: So that you stated you employ numerous the digital assets. What are your go-tos like and the way are you utilizing it through teletherapy?
00:17:54 Ellie: Yeah. So, I’ve my exterior laborious drive and I preserve all of it in my exterior laborious drive. I pull it up. I allow them to decide. I all the time begin with the background information. I really like the movies that you have chosen. I love to do these little background information. We speak about, we do a walkthrough of like, what have you learnt? After which I will display share. I will both add one thing. I exploit… I am blanking on the app that I exploit. It begins with Okay.
00:18:18 Hallie: Kami?
00:18:19 Ellie: Sure, I exploit that as-
00:18:20 Hallie: Okay-A-M-I, guys. It is a Chrome extension.
00:18:23: Ellie: Sure, the Kami Chrome extension, we use that to kind. Or if I wanna use like graphics for one thing on, on one of many paperwork, I will put it into Canva and we’ll sort of alter it with some components in there to make it their very own for the story. Like if we’re doing what the setting is or one thing like that, we’ll have enjoyable sort of choosing out completely different footage to placed on there. However just about Kami and Canva are what I exploit to make a few of these paperwork editable nearly, if that is sensible for them.
00:18:58 Hallie: Sure, as a result of most teletherapists assume they’ve to make use of digital video games, digital assets. So it is digital for it to be digital, and a PDF is digital. It is on a pc.
00:19:13 Ellie: Sure. We use PDFs every single day and it really works. Now, I had hassle display sharing, however that was solely as a result of I noticed that I had 9,000 images on my desktop. So I simply offloaded all my images to my laborious drive. And so now we’re again in display share enterprise but-
00:19:30 Hallie: What have been some favourite themes of your college students?
00:19:32 Ellie: I liked the Ice Resort one. We did Past the Freeze. We did the Ice Resort. We have not too long ago been doing unusual vegetation and bugs.
00:19:42 Hallie: A very good one.
00:19:43 Ellie: Large fan of the pitcher plant. That has gone over very well when the mice… the mouse goes in. We have achieved that one. Lately, we’re doing the Spring Ahead, so a few of my college students have wished to find out about promenade. So we have been doing that. I’ve… these are like sixth and seventh graders, in order that they have various kinds of college dances. They have not fairly gone into the promenade realm, however they’re conscious of what it’s. They simply do not know among the vocabulary. So it has been sort of enjoyable speaking about boutonnieres, corsages, limousines, issues like that. These are those that we have achieved not too long ago. I’ll say total, although, my favourite one is the worldwide snacks.
00:20:28 Ellie: like arms down, I feel my per skilled and I really like that one. And we did that with our highschool college students.
00:20:34 Hallie: I really like that. I additionally love the younger entrepreneur one.
00:20:38 Ellie: Sure! We have achieved that too..
00:20:39 Hallie: I ordered the lollipops like.. Even with my very own kids, they have been into it like that. And studying about these 12 yr olds, 14 yr olds who invented various things. After which it was like, we began brainstorming what issues can we invent that might be a job or one thing someday or change.
00:20:59 Ellie: That was a.. That was a very essential matter. And I need you to know that as a result of the varsity that I used to be engaged on, the varsity that I used to be working in once we did that matter has low assets, the youngsters are underserved, and it was so highly effective to see these younger women see younger entrepreneurs who appear like them and converse like them and have households that appear like theirs work collectively and achieve success following their goals. And that was so magical for a few of these women, who would take into consideration issues that they favored and the way they might flip that into one thing they might do every single day. That was actually cool. And I do not assume that was one thing that I had deliberately thought by after I was like, hey, this is one on younger entrepreneurs. And I used to be like, oh, there may be much more potential with this that I did not even consciously consider. So, that is an excellent one. I extremely advocate that one.
00:22:01 Hallie: And I adore it that you simply give them alternative. Having college students really feel empowered to love, I am choosing my exercise. Prefer it’s not somebody telling me what I’ve to do. What are another challenges you discovered working with older college students through teletherapy?
00:22:16 Ellie: Oh, it is the identical as whenever you’re in particular person. I feel everybody desires to really feel like they’ve management over their time and their dialog matters. And we speak lots, not less than within the youthful years, we speak lots about being child-led and following their curiosity, being affirming to who they’re and what they wish to examine. And whenever you just about give them the chance to do all of that, it really works. I do not understand how else to say that, however hey, that is our time, let’s spend a while collectively. What do you wanna do? This is all the pieces I’ve. These are the cool issues that I am taking a look at this week. What resonates with you? I do not say what resonates with you, however I am like, what sounds
00:23:03 Hallie: That is good phrase for them to be taught.
00:23:03 Ellie: Yeah. What sounds good? After which I’ve stickers for everybody. So, I normally, I ought to say, as a result of I’m digital, I do ship stickers to the faculties. I discovered that from one other digital therapist. My recommendation, in the event you do select to do this although, is have them shipped to your home first, as a result of I’ve discovered extremely inappropriate stickers in these packets that ought to not enter the varsity. After which you may repackage them and ship them.
00:23:35 Hallie: You realize, it is like, I am dropping the worth tag and issues like that or like, I do not know. That is actually good recommendation, loopy that they’d be inappropriate sticker, stickers, you’ve gotten like a favourite sticker kind that you simply ship, like for older ones.
00:23:49 Ellie: Yeah. I like these neon stickers. They appear like they’re neon stickers. They’re very cool. I normally go for meals, sports activities, after which neon optimistic phrases, and I will ship like 500 stickers. After which that offers them one thing to do whereas they’re within the room with me. We have got fidgets, we have stickers. They’ll decide their stickers. They usually’re just like the stickers that you simply placed on a water bottle.
00:24:13 Hallie: I used to be gonna say, I’ve seen them on Amazon, like a pack of 500 for like six bucks. And it goes on like they love the water bottle ones. I used to be going to say, recommend that, completely agree. Yeah. They wish to put ones.
00:24:27 Ellie: I took out now I did as a result of I really like cinnamon rolls. I did take out the cinnamon roll for myself and a latte one as a result of it simply..
00:24:35 Hallie: That is additionally the good thing about transport to your home. Like you’ve gotten the choices in entrance of you so you may maintain them up and like I selected this one. Which one are you selecting at the moment, like?
00:24:41 Ellie: Completely. I’ll say, I’ve over right here in my workplace. And I’ve by no means achieved this earlier than till this yr. I’ve received Pop The Pig someplace and I don’t like that sport. Nevertheless, the youngsters on the college had Pop The Package Pig and I used to be like, I’ve Pop The Pig they usually’re like, no kidding. Mine’s a little bit bit newer. Theirs is a little bit bit extra seasoned, so I might maintain mine up and we did examine and distinction with Pop The Pig. What was the identical? What was completely different? After which we’d take turns as a result of we’ve the identical sport and it is identical to I used to be there solely it was by a pc display, however , by no means underestimate utilizing the tactile stuff, the true objects in your workplace and simply exhibiting it to them.
00:25:24 Hallie: I really like that. I really like sending them the stickers, utilizing what they’ve and if in case you have it. And giving them that empowerment and simply having these actual conversations with them. I adore it. And for somebody who’s hesitant to work with the older ones, how do you’re feeling about it now?
00:25:39 Ellie: It isn’t dangerous. I would not say I am as snug as a result of it is so new to me. However I’ve the assets I must make it work on the fly. I can put together extra if I must, however I need not as a result of it is, once more, child-led. They select the subject and we go from there. We simply, , take a look at it by the lens of their targets and connection and it really works.
00:26:07 Hallie: There is no printing. There is no laminating. There is no velcroing.
00:26:10 Ellie: It is excellent.
00:26:11 Hallie: Simply click on open.
00:26:12 Ellie: Sure, you are connecting with one other human who simply occurs to be of their teenagers. So, no matter it is advisable to do to attach is sort of what you do.
00:26:21 Hallie: I adore it. Any final bit of recommendation you’ll give to somebody contemplating working teletherapy already is and feeling overwhelmed, questioning if they will survive one other yr of it. What recommendation would you give?
00:26:32 Ellie: I’d say that I feel it does take a yr to really feel snug doing digital providers. One of many largest predictors of digital remedy being efficient is the coaching in digital remedy that the SLP receives. So in the event you’re trying to change, I am glad to be a mentor. That’s one thing I do. I mentor SLPs who wanna go from in-person to digital. And I’d be glad to speak with anybody who’s inquisitive about doing that.
