Hello all
Long time.
To cut a long story short, I have to do a 2 minute "elevator pitch" for commissioners on ASD in my area for a job.
If I get this job, I will actually FINALLY have the opportunity to make some real changes to speech and language therapy provision in my area, but I'm really not expecting that I will be successful. I am actually surprised I got an interview because I banged on SO much about the efficacy of behavioural interventions and tracking/monitoring of progress in my application. I figured I wouldn't get an interview so I wanted to just write what I wanted to, have my voice heard...
But an interview I have, and I would value the reality and candour of the MN SN community on where the money should REALLY go, what should REALLY be said.
I'm not prepared to play much politics on this one because if that's what I have to do to get the job, the chances are I won't have a chance of actually making the changes I want to see made - if that makes sense? I have to go into this being candid about what's needed but in a way that someone who had no vested interest in Autism services can "get" almost instantly and feels ready to put money behind.
Any thoughts?
