Reviews
My days are very well set out - with clear time set for paperwork (e.g., reports, client preparation, phone calls), school day and clinic days (face to face client sessions, and associated tasks). I am able to clearly know what I'm meant to be doing on each day and what time is allocated for what task.
I conduct assessments, complete intervention - in clinic and through school programs.
Preparation for sessions, therapy sessions/screeners/assessments with clients, writing notes, other admin paper work such as reports.

Pros and cons of working at Learning Links
Pros
The team and how welcoming they are very supportive, flexible and friendly. There is genuine care for the well-being of employees. Many resources are available and there is great support for developing the knowledge and skills of employees through weekly supervision from highly experienced speech pathologists, internal and external professional development opportunities, etc.
Everyone is so welcoming and there is some great supervision offered which makes me feel supported.
Lots of support Lots of opportunity to learn Great environment - no toxicity between staff Always room to grow Lots of up to date resources Great structured systems in place make it easier to follow
Cons
Moving around to different clinics
Maybe finishing later than usual business hours on clinical days, however, this isn't too bad when there are other speech pathologists/colleagues working with you at the same time. Also, this is probably essential and common with many speech pathology companies due to our work with school-aged students.
I honestly can not think of anything bad about the company. I'm slowly learning to adjust to the systems in place and becoming better at time management and paperwork.
