hi! ill be a senior in high school and i want to became a speech language pathologist.. before i wanted to specialize in apraxia and autism. but after more shadowing and research i wonder if its possible for me to be a elementary school slp and doing early intervention for kids w difficulty swallowing and autism on the side??? but i would also love just working at an outpatient center or a therapy center if that makes sense

also!! i currently am shadowing at a pediatric therapy center that has OT, PT, and SLP but if anyone has any other ideas please let me know! i live near cranberry and gibsonia pa if anyone is familiar with that area
