Speech Therapist in need of work

Cleef · #1 04-27-2002, 01:03 PM

I have a friend looking to move from the unrest in Caracas to S.D. She is a licensed speech pathologist with 5 years experience.

She's worked in Trinidad and of course Venezuela. She speaks excellent English in addition to her native Spanish.

I'm looking to help her get on her feet here in the big city; any employment leads are greatly appreciated; schools, special services, home tutoring etc.

Thanks, Cleef.

Please do let us know where she finally establishes.......I'm sure there's others on the board that will want to know especially mainer.......

Don't know if it will help her find a job or not but contact "Mike" at the Metro Golf and Country Club. His wife runs a private school so you never know.............

She's going to be a wonderful addition to someone's school or program.

Actually MommC, I have been lurking out here waiting to see where she does land!

My wife is a certified Speech Therapist and also a Certified Rehab Counselor. Just curious as to whether there is a need in the DR.

I'm wondering why you're curious where she lands; is it that you're looking for her services, or if there is a need and where that is?

I'd love to give her some places to begin sending her qualifications to and whatnot.

Help ever.

Knowing where one is (especially one fluent in English) may help determine where Mainer lands.......
Me ,I'm just interested. Seems that when anyone wants or needs something I'm supposed to be the font of all wisdom (it's a TOUGH job! Comes from having spent too many years working as a "problem solver" specialist!). So......I may be good for a few referrals once the therapist is situated!

Edited to add: THERE'S ALWAYS A NEED! The problem the world over is first finding a speech pathologist. Second hoping they have room to fit you in to their lengthy list of clients. Third, hoping that you can afford the cost of their services.

Yes....at one time I needed one for a handicapped child and no none were available so I took a crash course, bought a Peabody kit (speach therapist tool kit) and became my own "expert". I sympathize with anyone looking for a therapist!!!
