Job Pushing for Me to Take an Oral Motor Course

I’m an 1099 contractor and the company I’m currently contracted with has tried to give me a few oral motor kids over the 1.5 years I’ve been with them. I’ve declined because it is not an area of interest for me. With my contract being up for renewal they asked if I can take some basic oral motor classes and take on clients. One of the biggest reasons I typically decline these kids is because of the lack of evidence of NSOMES for speech, which most of the kids there are speech kids, there has been one that was for feeding and swallowing, which was infant that I declined.

I’m not sure how to respond, as I would like to renew (waiting for contract to be written before making a decision) but am not interested in this area even if it were for feeding and swallowing purposes.
