True Confessions Episode 43: We are constantly unlearning.

We are thrilled to finally have our SLP bestie, Shontaye Glover, in the confessional with us to talk about all the things! This is an honest conversation about personal experience, perspective, how the title of our online conference The Equity Series triggered some negative responses, and most importantly why representation matters, and how and why you should diversify your library and practical ideas for literacy-based therapy.

True Confessions Episode 42: I Got This! And other lies we tell ourselves.

It's the first episode of Season 4 and a new school year! Sarah and Lisa are in the confessional sharing all of their wisdom on how you can be your best while admitting they don't always follow their own advice 😂. Let's just say there are a lot of snappy phrases given with a lot of caveats! We hope this episode will inspire and motivate you to start the school year off with a bang while reminding yourself that it's easier said than done.

What inspires me as an SLP?

We asked Judy Hale, a fellow SLP and friend what inspires her as an SLP. Judy has been an SLP since 1980 and we love her perspective, particularly as the field has changed so much over time and yet one thing remains constant: " the desire to communicate with others and to have our voices be 'heard'." This post is a great reminder of why most of us do what we do!

Begin with the End in Mind

When you begin with the end in mind, it becomes common practice to have a speech graduation conversation at the initial IEP. Guest blogger Abbie Keibler states, "Having these conversations right from the get-go enables parents to see the big picture and understand why dismissal is a reason to celebrate." Take a read as Abbie puts all her experience out their when it comes to dismissal time, and shows us how preparation + necessary conversations=celebratory dismissal for all!
