SLP Nerdcast offers ASHA certification maintenance hours through discussing clinical issues relevant to speech and language pathologists. We review best practices, resources, and a little bit of literature while trying to not bore you to tears. Who are we? We are two speech language pathologists (one dually certified BCBA) who met several years ago and became kindred spirits in nerdiness and sci-fi fantasy books - but that’s a topic for a different podcast. We enjoy reading, thinking, and discussing speech language pathology topics. We are lifelong learners and clinicians with over 30 years combined experience working with individuals who have complex communication needs across a range of settings including outpatient, private practice, public schools, and private schools. We are NOT PhDs, researchers, or particularly fancy people, but we are clinicians (nerds) who care deeply about the individuals and families we support, and we value using evidence to get us to a place of success. We will always provide a handful of references or resources and we of course love to get feedback. You can email us anytime at info@slpnerdcast.com. Tell us what you liked, that you think we’re a snooze fest, or if there is a topic you'd like us to cover.

Ivy Insights

The SLP Nerdcast podcast is an exceptional resource for speech-language pathologists seeking to expand their knowledge and earn continuing education units (CEUs). The hosts, Amy and Kate, have created a show that is not only informative but also entertaining. With the ability to listen anytime and anywhere, this podcast offers convenience and flexibility. The content is presented in a thorough and easy-to-understand manner, covering a variety of topics that may not be readily explored otherwise. Overall, The SLP Nerdcast provides an enjoyable learning experience for professionals in the field.

One of the best aspects of The SLP Nerdcast podcast is its accessibility. Listeners can tune in at their own convenience, whether it's during their commute to work or while doing household chores. This allows for learning to take place in a time-efficient manner without sacrificing other responsibilities. Furthermore, the hosts' energy and relationship with each other create an engaging atmosphere throughout each episode. The content itself is well-researched and presented in a conversational style that distills complex concepts into clinically relevant takeaways. Additionally, the fact that the podcast offers free or affordable CEUs is a significant benefit for SLPs looking to fulfill their professional development requirements.

While there are numerous positives about The SLP Nerdcast podcast, one potential drawback could be its focus on specific topics rather than providing a broad overview of the field as a whole. This may limit its appeal to listeners who prefer a more comprehensive exploration of various speech-language pathology areas. However, given that there are many other resources available for general information, this specialization can also be seen as a strength for those looking to delve deeper into specific subjects.

In conclusion, The SLP Nerdcast podcast stands out as an excellent source of research-based learning opportunities for speech-language pathologists. Its combination of accessibility, affordability, and informative yet entertaining content make it an invaluable tool for professional development. Amy and Kate's dedication to presenting complex concepts in a digestible format and their ability to provide practical applications for the information make this podcast highly recommended. Whether you are a seasoned SLP or just starting out in the field, The SLP Nerdcast is well worth a listen.

That wise “stutter nerd” is Nina Reeves and she is back on the mic for this week's episode sharing some straight talk about the how and why of involving the whole village in intervention for students who stutter. If you haven't already listened to the other wise stuff that Nina has shared on the podcast, check them out here. Like so many of us in the field, you likely have some feels around the idea of stuttering intervention, let alone talking about stuttering with parents and teachers. This episode hits on the feels and lays out your mission- to create a long term support system for students who stutter by helping all stakeholders understand stuttering as well as the lived experience of the person who stutters. This episode has some warm-and-fuzzies with a strong core of evidence based practice, emphasizing the role of the SLP in not only the “head space” but the “heart space” of supporting clients and families on their stuttering journey.

AAC in Early Intervention with Tanna Neufeld

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode SummaryWhat is harder (and even more rewarding, I might add) than supporting the communication development of tiny humans? Well, providing early intervention to tiny humans with complex communication needs, of course. Graduate training certainly doesn't prepare us for everything and most SLP's get minimal to no didactic or clinical exposure to early intervention OR supporting complex communicators, making this mash-up a true head scratcher for many of us. I had the pleasure of joining Kate and Amy this week to geek out on AAC and try my best to demystify some of the barriers that SLP's in the early intervention setting encounter when trying their darndest to serve complex communicators and their families. Tune in for some validation, some practical advice, and hopefully some reassurance as you navigate this complicated territory, given minimal resources across the board. We'll chat about coaching, teaming, and joy, and offer some myth-busting insights to help you stop chasing those “unicorns” that often result in delayed introduction of AAC tools and strategies to children under the age of three years. Hang in there EI SLP-you got this, and your Nerds have your back!Learn more about Tanna here.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below.

This week, we welcome back Dr. Cathy Binger and Dr. Jennifer Kent-Walsh to share their pearls of wisdom around using typical language development to guide AAC practice. Tune in to focus on “the big C in AAC” as Dr. Binger and Dr. Kent-Walsh urge us to focus on language rather than technology as we support complex communicators to achieve their full communicative potential and give them access to the building blocks of language that they deserve. You'll learn how to start off right with goals and objectives that hold language and communication at the center, you'll hear all about the importance of getting a good grasp on receptive language using a variety of tools, and you'll round out the hour learning how to use these starting points to develop a solid AAC intervention plan using what you already know about-pragmatics, semantics, and syntax. This is a passionate episode that emphasizes progress over perfection and acknowledges the messiness of learning language for all young communicators, not just those with complex needs.Learn more about Cathy Binger and Jennifer Kent-Walsh here.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode SummaryThere's a bear in the hallway outside the break room. I know, highly unlikely for most of you, but stick with me. This is a legit bear, and he's hungry. What do you do? Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? Your past experiences will likely shape your response to this incredibly terrifying albeit highly unlikely situation, and that is what this week's episode is all about. In this episode, Nicole Moore and Dr. Ali Arena joined Kate and Amy on the couch to have a real discussion about the impacts of trauma on our students and clients with communication challenges. This duo brings a unique collage of perspectives, merging the field of trauma counseling with communication and social support to help us understand where trauma can pop up for our clients and what we should and shouldn't be doing about it as holistic care providers and trusted confidants. Tune in to learn about the impacts of “little T's” and “big T's” on executive functioning, and find out how you can be a better observer and listener to identify signs of trauma and to develop a plan for supporting potential impacts in your sessions. There's fun brain stuff for Amy, soap boxes for Kate, and all jokes aside, a mindful and realistic look at a very important topic that anyone working with human beings should be aware of.Learn more about Ali and Nicole here.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereUpdate: This episode was recorded about 6 months before it was released. In that time several resources become available that we wanted to include as part of the show notes and resource list. This is a great example of how quickly resources can change and how important it is for us as clinicians to shift our thinking and stay on top of newly published work and resources! The updated resources are as follows:There is now a published voice questionnaire for non-binary folx:Shefcik, G., Tsai, P. (2021).

DOI: :https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvoice.2020.12.037The Trans Voice Initiative is an organization that seeks to open the gates for intersectional trans leadership in the field of Speech-Language Pathology, and ultimately drastically improve the quality of care to the transgender community. You can learn more about their work at www.transvoiceinitiative.com or on social media channels at @transvoiceinitiative.Transplaining has launched a 3 graduate credit course in partnership with Fitchburg State University on Intersectional Cultural Responsiveness in Speech and Language Pathology. It's being offered for for 3 graduate level credits and ! That's an automatic ACE award! You can find more information on transplaining.info. There is also a new site that our episode guest, AC Goldberg, Ph. D., CCC-SLP, is developing for this work, thecreditsinstitute.com. CREDIT stands for Culturally Responsive Education Diversity & Inclusion Training. Episode SummaryThe voice is like a fingerprint-a source of identity and an instrument used for not just communication, but connection. For some, this fingerprint does not align with other elements of their identity, motivating them to take on the hard work of forming new voice “habits” to reach their goals. In this episode, SLP's Barb Worth and AC Goldberg return to the podcast to share their perspective on how best to support individuals who are seeking gender aligning voice intervention. Tune in to explore tangible and compassionate evaluation and intervention strategies that are client-centered, culturally competent, and evidence-based. You'll get a refresher on the larynx and the vocal process, as well as some helpful reminders on the importance of helping clients reach their goals, not yours, or those of society at large.Learn more about AC and Barb here.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below.

In this week's episode with Sara Penrod, you'll learn just how essential these constructs are in the daily work of an ICU SLP. Sara is a career-long medical SLP who has gained a tremendous level of super power in the critical care arena through her dedication to transdisciplinary, continuing education and fearless on-the-job training.

You'll learn more than you expect and likely leave as I did, pleasantly surprised by just how much value a knowledgeable SLP can bring to a critical care team. This is a true, whole-body, whole-patient episode with lots of big words and even bigger ideas, including some shout outs to the power of a positive partnership with nurses- in many ways, the life-blood of the critical care unit and the thread that connects the intimate needs of the patient to the rest of the team.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below.

This week's episode with SLP-turned-cognitive-processing nerd, Tera Sumpter, invites you to leave Speech Island (figuratively and literally) and take an excursion to Brain Boss island so that you can help your clients learn the speech and language skills they (and you) strive for.

It's February…The shortest month of all… and the coldest depending on where you are… For us Nerdcasters it's also one of the busiest! We have an amazing lineup for the month of February (and March too). Check it out!Call for Papers is Open!We are passionate about distributing knowledge, and we feel strongly that knowledge does not have to come from researchers. Working clinicians have so much to share with our community. With that in mind, just a reminder that our call for papers is still open! We've heard from several of you, and we are so thrilled to welcome you onto our show for Season 4. If you have something to teach your community, we encourage you to submit a topic and come onto the show and discuss it with us. The call for papers is analogue to a traditional conference. You will need a title, learning objectives, description, and a few references. Check out this link to learn more and submit!February 10th, 2022FREE Webinar: Goal Writing and Progress Monitoring in Complex Communicators: A Brief Intro We remember times early in our career when it felt just impossible to take data on our clients. In particular I remember one day I was scheduled to take some data on a student for an upcoming meeting and I saw them in a group setting. That day in group I had one student playing with the blinds in the office I was in, one student trying to rip up my therapy materials, and two students who were legit hitting each other. There was zero way I was going to take data that day. Monitoring the progress of our students and clients can be SO HARD, especially in our more complex communicators. And how can we even talk about progress monitoring without goal writing? These two concepts go hand in hand and influence each other so much. It wasn't until we took multiple graduate level courses after our masters degrees in data collection and measurement that we finally felt that we cracked the nut on how to take good data efficiently without compromising the connection with our students.We have an SLP Masterclass coming up on progress monitoring and goal writing, but we wanted to help as many people as possible and if you've been around the Nerdcast table a while you know we hate it when knowledge lives behind paywalls. So, we are hosting a FREE webinar on February 10th, 2022 to discuss progress monitoring and goal writing for your students. It's from 7:00 to 7:30 PM EST and free to attend.

We started SLP Nerdcast because we were so tired of the status quo of continuing ed - high pricing, traveling to conferences, and let's face it - huge companies profiting off of keeping knowledge behind a paywall. It shouldn't be so difficult - or expensive - to get knowledge that helps us be the best clinicians possible. Our mission is to change the field of continuing education and create PD that is convenient, helpful, and affordable. As SLPs our jobs are stressful. It should be easy for us to gain the knowledge we need to be the best clinicians we can be. We don't need the added stress of expensive conference pricing, traveling, and crowding into tiny conference rooms hoping for a chance to hear our favorite speakers.We teamed up with Speechie Side Up to co-host the third annual SLP Live Podconference, a podcast based conference that is affordable and convenient. .

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode SummaryHey overworked SLP - feeling like you want to find a rock to crawl under for a minute or two? Burnout is a topic that hits close to home for me as an SLP of 15 years. In some ways, I think I started to feel that burn even before I got my CCC's. Why are we and others in the “helping professions” so much more likely to experience burnout than others braving the workforce? This week, burnout expert, Dr. Julie Slowiak, shares her own personal experience with overwhelm and under-joy in the workplace, and offers SLP's the strategies we need to recognize burnout and to address it head on. Do you find yourself critical or cynical at work? Perhaps you're not looking forward to your day-to-day grind, or you are consistently not meeting expectations (your own or those placed upon you). Whatever the sign, you might be experiencing or rapidly approaching burnout, which not only negatively impacts your personal health and happiness, but also your professional performance. Tune in to learn how to spot burnout and to learn why it might be happening. You'll also gain some mindful self-care practices to deal with burnout as Dr. Slowiak challenges the misconceived notion of self-care as just a manicure and bubble bath. Pause today, tune it, and take an hour to discover how you can hit that optimal work life flow, feel better, and be the SLP you want to be for those students and clients you hold so dear.Course AccommodationsThe transcript for this course is provided below. You can also email us at ceu@slpnerdcast.comLearning OutcomesDefine the concept of burnout and give at least 3 examples of signs and symptoms of burnout. Describe why the “helping professions” are more susceptible to burnout. Give at least 1 example related to the 5 professional self-care strategies that can be used to prevent burnout.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode SummaryEver feel under-equipped to deal with the counseling demands that often pop up in your daily SLP work? You're not alone! So much of what we do as SLP's is “grief work” and many of us find ourselves in over our heads at times with the counseling needs of our clients or students and their families. This week, Kate and Amy capitalize on their “forced friendship” with Beverly Montgomery of Lex Communicate to talk about the power of alliances with mental health professionals in addressing the holistic needs of individuals with communication differences and the caregivers who support them. Beverly discusses how mental health needs touch each case we serve and offers actionable suggestions for how Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP) can help us go beyond due diligence and realize better outcomes for those we serve. Tune in to explore which mental health professionals may be unexpected allies and obtain some simple strategies to help you manage these powerful relationships when scopes of practice overlap. Our clients and students are so complex, you may often feel that you “have a flashlight when you need a flood light” to recognize all of the facets that compose client and family needs. Beverly's approach to interdisciplinary practice Illuminates the complexities of your toughest cases. If you find “other stuff” getting in the way of therapeutic progress for your clients or students, this is the episode for you.Learning OutcomesState the purpose(s) and benefit(s) of interprofessional collaborationDefine Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP)Describe a decision-making process for when and how to make mental health referralsIdentify a variety of collaborative partners both within and outside their organizationReferencesAmerican Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode Summary:It's no secret that being a clinician and being a researcher are two entirely different experiences. But, If you're like me, you might wonder exactly what is going on in that “ivory research tower” and if you will ever manage to trudge your way through your muddy, clinical practice swamp to access the answers it promises to offer. We're heavy on the metaphors in this serious yet engaging episode with Dr. Cathy Binger and Dr. Natalie Douglas, repeat offenders on SLP Nerdcast and great representations of a dual perspective on research. These clinicians turned implementation scientists guide us through the barriers and potential solutions to the ever widening research-practice gap with a candid discussion that challenges listeners to take on the perspective from both sides of the gap. Tune in to learn how to confront the preconceptions, break down the paywalls, and collaborate to achieve practical, accessible, and effective evidence-based clinical practice. You'll enjoy some straight talk, some humble confessions, and a few made up words-not to mention awesome Neverending Story analogies.Learn more about Cathy and Natalie here.Learning Outcomes1.

DLD and Dyslexia: What Does It All Mean for the SLP?

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode SummaryDLD isn't a new text abbreviation or IG expression. It's a real thing in the field of SLP and if you don't know about it, you gotta' tune in to get the scoop. This week, Tim DeLuca and Kate Radville- SLP's and doctoral candidates basking in language and literacy nerdom - chat about all things DLD for the SLP. What is DLD? And why is it so important to get a handle on it in the vast and murky sea of semantics that we painfully stir in the SLP field? Kate and Tim explore how challenges with oral language have a domino effect on the attitudes and skills of students, impacting literacy, behavior, and more. You'll gain assessment and intervention tips that hold fast to the golden thread of most SLP Nerdcast episodes - the importance of EBP and collaboration. There are some four letter words (ahem, “dysteachia”) and a big spotlight on resources in this engaging episode that confronts the strong connections between all aspects of the whole student and their whole future.

Or maybe you can recall the last bout of GI revenge that ensued following some poor decisions at a fast food drive-through for lunch? Perhaps you weren't as peppy with your clients, made a bit less small talk with your colleagues, and were a bit short with your partner. “When we don't feel well, we don't do well” (ain't' that the truth!) and our students with complex communication needs (CCN) are no different. In this episode, Dr. Margaret Bauman and Jennifer Leighton share their experiences and advice, encouraging SLP's to consider potential, underlying medical conditions that may be leading to behavioral changes in individuals with CCN. Through stories of her clinical experiences with struggling patients, Dr. Bauman describes several scenarios within which a child's change in behavior was an indication of an underlying condition of pain or illness that was not obvious. Gear up for some detective work as this observant duo share compassionate tips for digging deeper, asking questions, and supporting our clients with CCN in new ways that recognize how strongly pain and illness shape behavior, and how loudly behavior communicates.

You just can't separate language from culture, and that is what makes this week's episode a must-listen for every practicing SLP, around the globe. Joined by the vibrant voices behind The Bold SLP podcast, Kate and Amy seek to better understand issues related to culture and bilingualism in our ever-changing professional landscape. You might feel pretty lost when it comes to serving culturally and linguistically diverse clients and families, and with good reason. This is, after all, one of the many topics that falls into the “I didn't get this stuff in grad school” column. But don't fret, we're all learning, and the Nerd crew has got you! This episode is packed with real talk, as Ingrid, Liza, and Desi dive into three bold themes that covertly weave themselves into the fabric of your everyday SLP grind - culture erasure, power dynamics, and implicit bias. Tune in to start seriously considering how to approach your assessment process with an entirely fresh perspective that values difference and collaboration. You'll learn about the differences between ethnographic and traditional interview, and how this simple but powerful shift in your clinical paradigm can get you started on the powerful path of better, best practice. Can't get enough of this important stuff? Keep your learning about this essential topic on the move by tuning into Part 2 with The Bold SLP trio._____References and ResourcesThe Bold SLP Collective InstagramCulturally Responsive Practices in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (Y.D.

Could you be harming your diverse students by over-relying on external evidence in your practice approach? This potential is real, even in the presence of your best intentions- so how can SLP's know better, and do better? This follow-up episode with the candid clinicians of The Bold SLP podcast is the perfect companion to their first talk about cultural and linguistic competence. This one takes a deeper dive into how speech-language professionals can adjust the angle of their EBP triangle to better identify and support students from diverse backgrounds. Understanding how to adapt your assessment and intervention approach with the clinical preferences and culture of your clients at the core is a key skill for every SLP serving clients from 0-99, across all practice settings. You'll hear some familiar terms in this value packed course-including dynamic assessment and the evidence based practice triangle- each with a cultural competence spin. And, as with every episode on the Nerdcast, you won't leave the airwaves wanting for resources to get you on your way to becoming a more culturally competent SLP!

Let's be honest-as SLP's, we think a lot about how to serve our clients, and not as much about how to sell those services effectively. This week, Kate is joined by Jill Woods of Practice Momentum to learn a few tricks of the marketing trade. You'll explore the ins and outs of the marketing cycle and I bet you'll be just as surprised as I was that the art of marketing is a bigger topic than you think, extending well beyond promotions and social media buzz. Jill walks us through how a successful marketing cycle can help you transform clients that at first, didn't even know your services existed, to your best referral sources. This episode is packed with principles and actionables that will up your marketing game, transforming your practice, and therein, your life! And even better, there's no used car salesman vibes at all - just sound logic, a pulse on ethics, and tons of tips to improve the focus, consistency, and personality of your marketing endeavors so that you can see the momentum you long for in your practice. I know that your social service spirit gets queasy at the thought of selling anyone, anything, but consider this truth - you can have the best services in the world, but if you're not adequately selling them to your clients, you're not actually serving them at all.

That is one of the many questions tackled in this week's episode with Dr. Lindsey Griffin, a leading professional in the field of adult dysphagia and assistant professor at Emerson College in Boston. For those of you not practicing in the field of swallowing, this episode will certainly ring some grad school bells as Dr. Griffin walks us through some swallowing bascs that include a refresher on the phases of swallowing and some tried and true strategies to support individuals with swallowing challenges (You guys remember the good ol' chin tuck, right?). Working in this area of our field already? You'll enjoy some powerful discussions on evidence-based, person-centered decision-making in dysphagia practice amongst several remaining resource and research limitations. Listen in and learn about the difference between restorative exercises and compensatory strategies, the why and how of tailoring intervention techniques to an individual's physiological impairments, and the role of technology in dysphagia care.
