Dx Factor (Get it?)

My first diagnostic evaluation is tomorrow eeeeeeeeek!  Thank goodness for all the love from the fellow speechies in my program.  My partner and I are the first pair scheduled, foraging the frontier for our fellow phonteticists!!

All silliness aside, this assignment is the first assignment in the program's clinic with a real life client.  Thinking about diagnosis gets serious when there's a real human being right in front of us.  I'm excited to meet the client and even more excited to hear feedback about how we did.  I've been prepping some of the test materials for the past couple of hours.

I somehow have found time to make it to the gym on all of my regular days and I even studied for an aphasia final a little bit here and there.  Oh, and I did an observation at a local aphasia program last week!  As far as my decision to become a SLP?  Let's just say it was one of the best ideas I ever had.

Okay, I need to get back to my date with the CASL (Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language).
