And I hope summer term will feel a bit easier! Starting as I mean to go on with discovering a new-to-me coffee shop!

It's gotten a bit easier as the term has gone on, and it has been wonderful to get to know the CYP on my caseload, be a part of 'team around the family' meetings, and to have regular supervision and team meetings. But yeah, definitely going to try my best to switch off this week 4/n

Annual review reports--how could I forget! Different terminology, understanding the scope of practice, trying to get to grips with targeted groups, having to model therapy to an LSA so they do it more than I do it (since it's not possible for me due to time constraints). 3/n

Working directly with children and young people feels mostly the same, but getting to grips with the target sheets, packages of care, EHCNAs, the way to write up therapy notes, working in four different schools each week, GP assessment wait lists, etc has been a HUGE learning curve 2/

Today is my first day of a week's proper holiday/vacation since starting my NHS job in the mainstream and alternative provision schools. This first term was TOUGH. You'd think being a paediatric SLT would be transferrable from US to UK but I haven't found it that straightforward. 1/n

A poster on a wall in a secondary school in London that says "what language do you speak at home?". Students have written several languages on the poster, such as Portuguese, Polish, Tagalog, Tigrinya, English, Kannada, Konkani, Amharic, Arabic

This is what I love about London. Just a small sampling of languages spoken at home by pupils in one of the secondary schools I work in.
