What if starting your own private practice meant more time with your kids, a healthier work-life balance, and the freedom to create a career that truly fits your values? That's exactly what today's guest, Erin West, set out to do and her journey is going to inspire you.Today I'm introducing you to Erin West, a speech-language pathologist and the owner of Wildflowers Pediatric Therapy in Bradenton, Florida. Erin has been in the field for over 15 years, specializing in pediatrics, feeding, AAC, and neurodiversity-affirming care.She joined the Start Your Private Practice Program and has since built a thriving practice that allows her to be present for her two children while also serving her community in a way that aligns with her values.Although Erin loved her hospital job and the colleagues she worked with, she found herself increasingly drained by the demands of the environment. As a highly sensitive person and single mom, she needed more balance and flexibility to pour into both her clients and her kids.That's when she decided to take the leap into private practice. With the support of her son and the Start Your Private Practice program, Erin transitioned from full-time employment into running her own business. Now, she sets her own schedule, collaborates with other professionals in her community, and enjoys more time with her family.Outside of her practice, she is a mom of two, enjoys collaborating with other therapists in her community, and is even pursuing certification to teach Music Together® classes as another way to support families through connection and creativity. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Taking the leap without a financial safety netBuilding a niche around feeding, autism, and sensory needsFinding unexpected community support and collaborationAnd how her 13-year-old son literally helped her run the numbers to get startedErin's story shows that you don't have to hate your job to know it's time for a change. Sometimes it's about recognizing misalignment, valuing yourself, and choosing to build something that better supports both your family and your clients. Her journey is proof that with the right mindset and support, you can create a private practice that's fulfilling, flexible, and financially sustainable.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Erin has?

TVF 180 – Mastering Business Analysis In this engaging conversation on the Visibility Factor podcast, host Susan M Barber interviews Dr. Michael White, known as the BA Doc, who shares insights into the world of business analysis. He is the founder of The Business Analysis Doctor, a global and award-winning business analysis training provider specializing in IIBA certifications and practical business analysis. He has over a decade of experience in business analysis, project management, and training. Michael has driven innovation at some of the top financial institutions in the U.S. He currently holds a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), the CBAP, AAC, CBDA, CPOA, and CSSGB. Michael is also a public speaker, content creator, and the President of the IIBA Southeast Michigan Chapter. Takeaways Business analysis is about defining and understanding business problems. Effective communication is crucial for business analysts. Understanding organizational goals is key for business analysts. Transitioning from technical roles to business analysis is possible with the right mindset. The hardest part of being a business analyst can be managing expectations in new organizations. AI can enhance the effectiveness of business analysts if used correctly. Experience is often more valuable than certification in business analysis. IIBA plays a significant role in promoting the business analyst profession. New business analysts should focus on understanding processes and asking the right questions. Making your boss's job easier can elevate your career. Book recommended by Michael: Asking the Right Questions by M. Neil Browne and Stuart M.

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, aim to enable people to control various adaptive devices directly with their thoughts. There are many BCI devices currently in various stages of development, with the potential to help people with ALS and similar conditions across many different activities of daily life. One particular area in which BCI devices may be able to support people with advanced ALS symptoms is communication. Many people with ALS rely on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to write or speak. All tools like these, collectively known as augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices, need some kind of input to work. This could mean using a keyboard, a touchscreen, or, for people with advanced paralysis, an eye-gaze device. As ALS progresses, however, even eye gaze devices may become difficult for some people to use. BCIs—by allowing people to control AAC devices with their minds—could be a potential solution to this problem. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by two experts to discuss BCI technology and, in particular, its potential to help people with ALS continue to communicate. The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not represent official endorsements by any organization. Kate Nilsen currently serves as an advisor to Synchron, a company developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) device.

The AAC's Climbing Grief Fund has a directory of therapists who are specialists in the unique risks, challenges, joys, and euphoria of outdoor recreation, and are informed practitioners who support climbers experiencing grief and trauma. And though the directory is an invaluable resource when people need support in the face of the most intense kinds of grief and tragedy, these counselors also have expertise in other areas, including sports performance psychology. Because it's all connected–just as grief and trauma impacts our relationship to climbing, so too, does working on resilience, self-compassion, and other mental health skills help us excel at our goals in climbing. In this episode, we have CGF therapist and sports psychologist Neal Palles on to chat about how to practice and stack various mental training techniques and concepts on top of each other to build towards peak performance. We periodize our physical training, and according to Palles, we can apply that same concept to mental skills as well. Dive in!

Communication is a human right - but what happens when someone can't speak for themselves?Sean Allsop struggled to talk until he was eight years old, when he began to speak thanks to years of speech therapy. He explores the technologies and innovations helping people around the world who struggle to communicate.We meet Richard Cave, National Advisor at the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, as he introduces a patient and their family to voice banking, a method that preserves someone's voice before it's lost, using recordings to create a personalised synthetic version. He explains why having your own voice is a major part of your identity.In the United States, we hear from people trialling a brain chip that turns neural signals into speech. It's still in its early stages, but how close are we to seeing this kind of technology more widely available for those who would benefit from it? A child-friendly robot made in Luxembourg is teaching children with communication difficulties how to express emotions and build social skills. And in San Cesareo, Italy, the simplest solutions can sometimes prove the most effective. The town has introduced AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) sign boards in public spaces, helping both users and non-users learn and connect.Image: A student pointing at an image on an AAC sign board (Credit: Eleonora Vallerotonda)

Cindy Watson, celebrating 30 years as an SLP and making her third appearance on the podcast, returns with BCBA Ashley Snavely to share how their clinic blends multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care.“We were missing something,” Cindy reflects. Already offering PT, OT, and Speech, their team recognized therapists needed tools to address challenging behaviors. Adding ABA was the evidence-based solution. In this episode, Cindy and Ashley discuss the early stages of collaboration—how large group trainings, comprehensive education, and the creation of the BILT (Behavior Intervention Leadership Team) empowered therapists to problem-solve before BCBAs step in. They also dive into AAC in a collaborative setting, emphasizing curiosity, data-driven decisions, and open communication as key to success.Together, they show how a “we want to learn from you” mindset builds trust, resolves disagreements, and ultimately leads to what matters most—meaningful progress for every learner.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Integrating ABA into a multidisciplinary clinic.How to collaborate with ACCHandling disagreements across providers.Fostering open communication and learning among therapists and providers. Mentioned In This Episode:Episode #115: Early Intervention Speech Therapy Services – A Talk With Cindy WatsonEpisode #191: Autism in Girls- A Conversation with Cindy and MCSpeech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

In this episode of Nonlinear Learning, we challenge the conventional path parents often take when preparing children with disabilities for higher education. We discuss why focusing solely on life skills, physical independence, and basic academics can leave students unprepared for the real demands of college. Instead, I outline the true foundation that fosters genuine readiness for higher education and guess what - there is a key factor there - MOTIVATION. How do we build that?  Tune in to learn more. You'll discover: Why physical independence, while valuable, doesn't guarantee college readiness. How fluent academic communication—whether through speech, AAC, or spelling-based systems—unlocks learning potential. and more...

"Don't give up and prove everyone wrong" - Kayla Ireland shares how horses, AAC, and a fierce sense of self-advocacy help her chase her dreams and redefine what's possible for herself and others.   There are intentional silences left in this recording. Normally I edit out long pauses, but when speaking with an AAC user like Kayla, it's important to honour the natural pace of her communication and make space for her to share in her own way. This different flow of conversation may feel unfamiliar, but it's valuable to experience and listen to.   In this episode, you'll hear: • Kayla's journey with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and discovering accessible ways to communicate • Honest insights into AAC, the importance of communication partners having patience, and the power of listening to lived experience • Why therapeutic horse riding gives her freedom, confidence, and a sense of joy that medicalised therapies can't   Watch this chat on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VuyKBLO_iAA    Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay: YouTube / Instagram / Facebook Email: kindlyneurodivergentwithkay@gmail.com Silver Speech Speaking Series: YouTube Rock The World with Kay & Michelle: YouTube / Instagram / Facebook Inside Scoop of Living with Cerebral Palsy: Facebook / Instagram / YouTube Kayla Interviewing Adina: YouTube / Facebook       Podcast Link: https://pod.link/1625478932 Website: www.playlearnchat.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/play.learn.chat Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/play.learn.chat

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comThe American Athletic Conference was by far the best non-power conference of the early College Football Playoff era. Its best teams were nationally relevant. Many programs were on the rise, and so were the league's coaches, who went on to Power Five jobs and then got replaced by coaches who often did the same.Lately, things have not gone as well. The American lost its best teams to the Big 12, and the programs that backfilled those spots have yet to show anything. The hiring train of AAC coaches has slowed down, and the conference has moved backward while several non-power programs outside the league have ascended. The best program in the league, Memphis, is trying hard to get out.The league literally renamed itself last week, going away from “AAC” and opting to just be called “the American.” As the league literally redefines itself, Godfrey joins Alex and Richard for a discussion of how the American got here and where it might be going over the next few years.Producer: Anthony Vito

UH is a "power conference team" now and have bailed on us going forward (cowards!), but we've got one more Bayou Bucket to look forward to! So of course, Matt and Carter had to have our pals Sam and Bobby from the Scott & Holman Pawdcast to talk the crosstown Cougars. Can Willie Fritz get the offense functional this year [this is how you know they're not in the American anymore]? Is there anything sillier than bailing on the Bucket for a contrived, space-themed rivalry with UCF (no)?

We're combining two of the most highly requested topics—Gestalt Language Processing and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)—into one conversation with Farwa Husain of First Phrases. We're answering some key questions about AAC + Gestalt: What do we actually know about integrating gestalts with high-tech AAC systems? What's missing in the research? How can SLPs move forward confidently on Monday morning without waiting for perfect data? What Gestalt Language Processing really means (and why you can't “give” a child a gestalt)? What common AAC myths are holding children back—and what to do instead? Is the child “stimming” on AAC devices (spoiler: often exploration, a good thing)? Why focus on relationship-first therapy? How can we model extensively and in a meaningful manner? What are some joyful learning strategies for introducing AAC to Gestalt Language Processors in preschool? Whether you're a seasoned SLP or just getting started, this episode is packed with actionable insights and evidence-informed best practices for Monday morning therapy with autistic preschoolers.

With David Smoak, Paul Catalina, & Craig Smoak Longtime Memphis insider John Martin shares a personal and emotional reaction to the Big 12 declining a major offer from the University of Memphis. Despite multi-million dollar incentives, renovated facilities, and athletic success in football and basketball, Memphis was once again passed over. Martin explains the city's frustration, the perception problems hurting Memphis behind the scenes, and why the Big 12's past additions from the AAC may have worked against them. This is a deep dive into the realities of realignment politics and what Memphis can still do next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this powerful reflection episode, Tara shares one of the most impactful moments of her career—her conversation with Jordyn Zimmerman during the 2025 Preschool Autism Summit. Together, they unpack the importance of presuming competence, providing early AAC access, and creating neurodiversity-affirming learning spaces. Tara also shares emotional ripple stories from participants, illustrating how nearly 50,000 educators and therapists are creating waves of change for autistic children around the world. Key Takeaways: Presume competence—always. Speech is not the same as intelligence, and we must stop making assumptions based on verbal ability. Non-speaking ≠ non-verbal. The term “non-verbal” implies a lack of language; “non-speaking” affirms that language exists, even without speech. There are no prerequisites for AAC. Children do not need to match, point, or “behave” a certain way before receiving access to communication tools. PECS is not a communication system. It is a requesting system and does not provide full language access. AAC must include access to robust, literacy-based tools. Limiting a child to a core board or basic images restricts their ability to truly communicate. Talking about students in front of them causes real harm. Many non-speaking students hear and understand far more than people assume. Lack of access to communication is traumatic. It can lead to emotional and physical distress—and we have a responsibility to prevent that. Real inclusion means access, not separation. Segregated classrooms limit growth and potential; all students deserve meaningful academic instruction. Educators are making real-time ripples. From texting SLPs during the summit to creating team trainings, attendees are already pushing change. Small shifts create big waves. With over 49,000 participants, the summit's ripple effect may reach nearly half a million autistic children—and it all starts with choosing compassion over compliance.

UTSA feels good? Or at least as decent as most of the teams that consider themselves among the upper tier of the AAC conference, as we continue on with our season preview series. - Owen McCown might be the best quarterback in the AAC by default? And Also because he's actually good, even if he's not Frank Harris. The rest of the skill players should be fun too. -As has been the case with the rest of the conference, nobody is going to play defense. We almost forgot to talk about the secondary, but that was somewhat by design.- UTSA's best kicking option will probably be kicking for Rice football this fall, which leaves the Roadrunners in a bind. - Jared and Matt get on a soapbox about supporting independent media like this.

In this episode of Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree, host Dr. Sarah Tanner-Anderson sits down with Daija Fowler, a speech-language pathologist whose journey from psychology major to Communication Sciences and Disorders leader highlights the power of purpose, mentorship, and professional reinvention.Daija traces her path back to her undergraduate days at UNC Greensboro, where a shift in academic focus—and a few pivotal conversations with her mom and a childhood friend—led her to discover a calling in Communication Sciences and Disorders. That moment of clarity set her on a path toward Longwood University, where she pursued her Master's degree in speech-language pathology.A first-generation college student, Daija speaks openly about the challenges she faced navigating graduate school applications, tuition costs, and the weight of doing it all without a roadmap. But it was at Longwood where she found her footing—and her voice. As a graduate assistant in the CSD department, Daija stepped into roles that demanded precision, organization, and adaptability. With the mentorship of faculty like Dr. King, she not only helped run the behind-the-scenes operations of the clinic but also developed a deeper appreciation for the profession she was preparing to enter.Now working full-time in the school system, Daija reflects on her transition from private practice to public education while maintaining her original clients in an after-school capacity. From the nerves of her first interviews to the satisfaction of helping students meet their communication goals, Daija shares how each stage of her journey has deepened her confidence and commitment. Her passion for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and fluency—specialties she didn't expect to fall in love with—demonstrates the value of staying open to new possibilities.Throughout the episode, Daija shines a light on the often-overlooked complexities of the SLP role. From diagnostics to collaboration with classroom teachers, she makes it clear that speech-language pathology is about far more than “teaching kids to talk.” It's about connection, growth, and giving students the tools to be heard.A standout moment in the conversation is Daija's tribute to the mentors who helped shape her: Dr. King, Dr. Wallace, and Dr. Walker. Their belief in her potential fueled her drive and underscored the lifelong impact of supportive academic relationships.As she looks ahead, Daija's considering ways to share her story more broadly—possibly through a YouTube channel—to support others navigating the early stages of their SLP careers. Describing her journey in three words—authentic, adaptable, creative—Daija's story is one of resilience, resourcefulness, and the courage to grow beyond expectations.Subscribe now to hear more powerful stories from Lancers making a difference beyond the degree—and follow us to stay connected: Facebook: @longwoodgraduatestudies Instagram: @longwoodgradstudies Twitter: @longwoodcgps YouTube: @longwoodgradstudies Website: www.Longwood.edu/Gradprograms

A little bit of FAU Basketball to wade into! Florida Atlantic has a new (but now unfamilar) assistant coach on John Jakus' staff! Ken takes a quick look at Demond Parker and describes the positivity that surrounds the decision. In addition, with Boston College coming to the Elly to tip-off the '25-'26 FAU Basketball season, Ken LaVicka goes in-depth into what it means from a historical perspective and re-lives other high-major visits to Boca. Also, a look back at the all-time hoops series between FAU & BC. Plus, Ken re-litigates the decision to lift the 2023 Final Four banner at Midnight Madness instead of the '23 home opener in light of the NHL's decision to have the Panthers raise their Stanley Cup banner at 5p on a weekday. In another wild turn of events, Conference USA is shedding more teams. It's hardly recognizable to the league FAU was a part of. Ken proposes a team that the AAC may want to look at and laments the current state of FIU, who appears to be just existing. Finally, Ken tries to prepare FAU Football fans for what will likely be a relatively rocky preseason prediction period and explains why it doesn't matter in the slightest.

A common description of antibiotic action aims to classify them between “bactericidal” or “bacteriostatic”. Although these phenomena have robust in vitro foundations, the clinical translation of these concepts is sometimes difficult to ascertain. This controversial topic has important conceptual ramifications to treat severe infections. Today, we will discuss this topic with an expert in field.  Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/3z4BItBrzbk Topics discussed: The definitions of “cidal” vs “static” antibiotics The clinical applicability of the above terms in terms of antibiotic choice and syndromatic approaches antibiotic choices and the controversy between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.  Guest: Brad Spellberg, MD.  Chief Medical Officer at the Los Angeles General Medical Center  Links: ASM and IDSA launch the Interdisciplinary Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance and Innovation (IMARI) in 2026 Watch this session on YouTube This episode is brought to you by the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal.  Visit asm.org/aac to browse issues and/or submit a manuscript.

Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!It's the Fourth of July and Cody Williams is flying solo like a cup without John Buhler but still celebrating. Who is coming to the college football backyard BBQ for July 4th? What will be the day that Alabama, LSU and Notre Dame's seasons will die as Cody Williams isn't a total believer in them? Plus, we take a look at The American to get a quick preseason vibe check on the AAC and we rank the six (maybe?) teams with red, white and blue color schemes like Ole Miss and SMU for the 2025 season. 

In this installment of minisodes, we tackle a common AAC challenge: what happens when professionals don't agree? The BCBA recommends PECS, the SLP suggests a dynamic device… Now what? Welcome to the standard trial of non-collaborative chaos.There are plenty of barriers to AAC collaboration, but also practical steps that can lead to smoother teamwork. The first is building familiarity. AAC can feel overwhelming, but taking time to learn the basics makes collaboration more effective.One key reminder: the device belongs to the student. Everyone on the team should be working toward the same goal—supporting the individual's communication needs across their lifespan.Joint assessment can help, and tools like the free ALP AAC assessment offer a shared starting point. Another useful strategy is to assign a single person to program the device. This reduces confusion and ensures consistency.Most importantly, collaboration keeps families from being caught in the middle. When professionals work together, outcomes improve—for everyone involved.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:10-minute summer series.Free Assessment.Collaborating every step from assessment through intervention.Mentioned In This Episode:ALP AAC Assessment AAC course bundle Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Hi there, and welcome back to the Autism Little Learners podcast! I'm Tara Phillips, and today I'm joined by speech-language pathologist Alexandria Zachos for an amazing conversation all about Gestalt Language Processing. We talk about how our understanding of language development has evolved, the real struggles around prompt dependence, and why a child-led approach is so important—especially for Gestalt language processors. Alexandria shares so many helpful insights, including how we can better support these communicators by building authentic connections and honoring all the ways they express themselves. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, or parent, this episode is packed with practical strategies to encourage spontaneous language and support meaningful communication. I'm so excited for you to hear this one! Takeaways Gestalt Language Processing is a natural way of developing language. Many SLPs are unaware of Gestalt Language Development despite its long history. Prompt dependence often stems from traditional teaching strategies. Child-led therapy is essential for fostering spontaneous communication. Silence can be a powerful tool in therapy sessions. Acknowledging all forms of communication builds trust with children. Using a child's Gestalt can enhance engagement and communication. Therapists should focus on the child's interests to promote language use. It's never too late to shift from prompt dependence to child-led approaches. Building authentic relationships is key to effective communication. Bio Alexandria Zachos is the founder, clinical director, owner, and senior speech-language pathologist with Social Butterfly Inc. and Meaningful Speech® She has been a practicing SLP for 21 years and has worked extensively with gestalt language processors since 2016, utilizing Blanc's Natural Language Acquisition protocol. She educates SLPs, parents, and related professionals through her social media platforms, podcasts, blogs, and her internationally acclaimed courses on http://Meaningfulspeech.com/. When she's not wearing her SLP hat she enjoys reading fiction, walking in the woods and spending time with her husband and daughters around Chicagoland.

Every year, the AAC bestows awards to climbing changemakers and celebrates their accomplishments at the AAC Gala. We'll be announcing those award winners soon! But first, we wanted to give our listeners a sneak peak into the stories awaiting you, through diving into the life and personality of one awardee. We invited the alpinist and climber Kelly Cordes (who will be receiving the Pinnacle Award this year) onto the pod to celebrate his outstanding mountaineering and climbing achievements, and simply to ramble a bit and tell good stories. Though too humble to brag, Cordes is known for his bold ascents, including the Azeem Ridge on Great Trango Tower, a link-up on Cerro Torre, many first ascents in Peru and Alaska, as well as his “disaster style” and “suffer well” philosophy. With a 20-year lens, we have Cordes reflect on the Azeem Ridge story and tell it anew with all that he's learned since then. We also spend some time talking about his writing life, including supporting editing the AAJ for 12 years, and co-writing the bestseller, The Push, with his close friend Tommy Caldwell. Dive in to get just a taste of Cordes' story, and why he's committed to suffering well.

Could Gafford be flipped? Is Drew Holiday still in play? What about Chris Paul?As the crew gears up for live draft coverage at the AAC, they leave listeners with a cliffhanger: “Is this the team the Mavs are running back with—or just the beginning of something bigger?”
