Work has introduce new performance management processes for this year. I’m sure they’ve had similar things in the past, but there’s not really been anything that formal since I’ve been there. Basically, we just would think “hmm what PD is on this year that I want to go to?” and write our plans around that! This time, well I’ve kinda done that already, (and received close to full funding for an Autism workshop I want to go to in April, and went to that Stuttering one earlier this week) we have to do it “properly” this time. Giving myself numbers from 0-4 based on how my skillz rate, discussing with my immediate supervisor, then with the senior, then with my team leader. What a process!
Went to the special school I visit this morning for the first time this year. And felt like I knew what I was talking about. And that perhaps, I was being listened to. Yeah, they were “basic” suggestions (from a speechie point of view!) but they were needed, and I think that I was being effective in my job.
Good start to the year.

Your job sounds interesting. What exactly do you do?

I’m a Speech Pathologist. I work with kids from about 5 years to 16 years in mainstream and disability. Yes, I treat lisps and stutters! But I also work with kids with high needs and very limited verbal communication. Like these kids who are sitting there lost with all the talking, and pipe up as soon as they get presented with pictures :)
