Px required for practice Flashcards
Power dynamic
Be careful of feeling intimidated about power dynamic!
Think before you speak
Before you speak think about what you will say.
Give yourself time to respond.
Concentrate on what you will say
Really do concentrate on you and what you say more-so than what people think about you
I want to confident in answering the phone
- people have loss of confidence in answering phone calls.
Down to perception. What you perceive yourself as
You have imposter syndrome
You feel that you are not good enough
This then really affects your progression
IS- imposter syndrome means you will never progress in life. You feel that you don’t deserve this position!
You speak very critically of you
Speaking critically and perceiving yourself critically affects your Px
You don’t let things go
Once something has happened you acknowledge it, learn from it and move on.
You get distressed by it and do not let it slide which will affect you.

- this is essential. You can’t let things get to you nor take it to heart.
Be able to change your communication skills to suit the cl
Learn how to talk to children, adults
Make sure your sentence are short and clear!
One key words each time.
Each sentence has a key aspect.
We know that the language is below their age.
For example
Acknowledge EVERYTHING they say
Acknowledge what the child/PE/
adult
is saying to you. And respond accordingly.
Respond accordingly
When you respond, acknowledge what they have said. GIVE yourself time
To answer!!
Use the words the CL gives to you
Cl - I feel that my voice feels scratchy
Don’t say I don’t think it sounds like that?
Rather, you say it feels scratchy - “ok so it feels scratchy” & expand on that.
You need to learn how to Write down what the child is saying Transcribe Interpret the information Give prompts Acknowledge the child
How will you do this?
All the while process the information and interpret your finding to the PE?
What does the child present with? Why do you think this is? What does theory tell you? How can you help? What will you do next?
Remember at Lvl 6 more is required from you!
There is a structure to everything you conduct.
Learn how to structure your knowledge
When discussing expressive what am I looking for?
Give and share your ideas
- what theory is out there
- what are the stages regarding age
- what assessments ( what does the Ax mean for thr child?)
- what therapy intervention and why?
The same for receptive, speech.
And Child Disorders
Ask for the conversation to slow down
Ask PE for time to acknowledge what they have said.
Use that TIME for you - ask for time.
What is the use of sessions plans?
Sessions planning allows you to demonstrate theory and your knowledge
Whenever you can demonstrate your knowledge.
Demonstrate your learning
Give PE extra work! Share your knowledge and your experiences. What have you learnt.
Show off. Really show off what you know.
Act like they are your colleagues and you’re part of the team
Wake up at 5.45am every morning.
You must wake up at this time - to complete placement, VIVA and Assignment
Finding it difficult to complete the work?
Find a place where you can!
Develop a rapport with all clinicians
Change in clinicians. Knowing other clinicians.
Understanding clinicians expectations.
Raise your concerns prior to support the end results!

Peer support which was highly required for VIVA.
Ask for clear guidance
Speak it through and communicate with PE. This is the end
Reflect on the conversation with PE
Go away and draw up an action plan of what you need to do and what is expected of you!
How to learn?
Really understand what you’re learning!
Everything has a sequence & structure!
- when you understand (no.) you write it out in your own words
- you then do the recall method
— everything in life has structure and a story (revise like there’s a sequence or a story to it)
- revision requires patience like everything else!
Seek protected time / doing session plans during working hours
Do work during working hours
If things were a disaster now..
You’re allowed to NOT TO GET IT RIGHT! You are not masters!
- you will get better
- if you make mistakes so is everyone else
On placement - ask for feedback
How did I do? What did I do better?
You are self-companionate
You become happier, more grateful, more resilient and less stressed!!
More resilient - is about making mistakes! We are human beings. You can make mistakes.
People
With self-compassion
Are more likely to bounce back and not repeat their mistakes. Because they have self-compassion
You are on placement to perform
And you will!! Be marked on your performance
You have made this far
Because people have seen skills in you
If you have made a disaster
Park it up! And reflect on it later!!
Self compassion
Using a journal;
It shows personal growth
15 mins a day
Blank paper - write down your reflection, your thoughts. Personal to you.
You can park what’s in your head and transfer onto a page.
It’s a good opportunity to reflect back
You may notice a theme or a trend. Use a journal for placement
During placement:
You have very long placements!! Enjoy and make friends!!
Do mindfulness!
Space to reflect
Notice
Slow down
What happens when I’m scared
Irritated,
How do I behave
You must be able to regulate your emotions
Rather than asking why always ask What and How!!
You don’t need to say anything you don’t need to know anything!! As you’re asking them the questions and not the other way round.
How can we help you?
What can we do to help you?
How can we make it better for you?
Don’t ask why!
It’s Ok to ask for help
It’s Ok not to know
Be kind to yourself
Look after yourself
There is support out there
Enjoy yourself
What else have you got to do other than this?
Nothing
Never feel guilty
What is the use of feeling guilty?
Imposter syndrome:
Feel as though you are not good enough or not worthy
Or that your thoughts doesn’t count
Or that what you say - should be quick and sharp. And over and done with
That what you say has no value
Well it does - and take your sweet time to express yourself
That you can’t let things go
You linger on and it’s difficult for you to move on! Something which was observed
In professional practice
You must accept the criticism
Accept what people have to say and show change
This is called professional development
You can query it also
Think before you speak
Gather your thoughts before you speak
Always ask WHY
Ask why?
Why are we doing this
Why am I told to answer this Q? In Q3 viva?
What’s its asking me to do and why?
Thinking is driven by questions
Always think critically
See The Critically Thinking community
To think through and rethink - one must ask questions that stimulate our thought.
To be given an answer often signals a full stop to our thoughts.
Thinking is not driven by answer but by questions
Read and learn for your benefit - see how far you can push your self
How much knowledge information can you retain and understand?
You will be good at what you do
Because you’re the greatest
