Question about Speech Pathology or Deaf ed?
Im a junior in college right now and my major is Communication Science studying to be a Speech Pathologist. My goal is to work in a educational setting with Deaf children but many people are telling its hard to work for schools because many districts only hire 1 or 2 speech therapists and they usually stay there til they retire…do you think this is true??
For the past year or so I’ve been debating if I should change my career to Deaf Education but the program seems really difficult…although im willing to still do it. Wut would be a better option between the two?? Staying a speech therapist or becoming a Deaf ed teacher…im not trying to base decisions on answers i jus need some opinions and wut u think..because i need to decide before a become a senior :-/
Tnx in advance!
Well, it depends on who you want to work with. If you go the deaf ed route you can work in a deaf school or with students that are totally deaf. I think you would have better chances of getting a job as a Speech therapist. In my district we have at least one speech therapist for every school but we only have one Deaf ed person for the district.
