A typical day

In a school board you might split the week across 2 or 3 schools. Mornings are screenings and therapy sessions with small groups of kids. Afternoons are meetings with teachers and parents, then reports. In a hospital, the day is bedside swallowing assessments after strokes, an X-ray video clinic that shows how a patient swallows, and helping adults with aphasia (lost language after a stroke or brain injury) find words again. Either way, expect a lot of writing.
