You opened your caseload. Another Spanish-speaking kiddo. You don't speak Spanish. There's no translator. No bilingual SLP down the hall. Now what? You don't freeze. You don't refer out. You don't waste a single therapy minute. You use the 5-step Good Enough Practice plan, built on the complexity approach research, to drive real, generalizable gains in both languages, even when you're only treating in one. In this follow-up to Episode 215 (assessment), we roll up our sleeves and walk through exactly what to do Monday morning.
The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Why Therapists Stop Working with Kids and What It Takes to Stay: Sustainability, Boundaries, and Pivots for the Long Haul Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT push back on the field's quiet stereotype that working with kids is the "starter home" of private practice, the place clinicians put in time before graduating to a cardigan and a wing-back chair. Working with kids and teens is not entry-level work. It is some of the most clinically and physically demanding work in the profession, and it has a sustainability problem that rarely gets named honestly. Curt and Katie examine why so many therapists who work with kids and teens hit a wall around the five-year mark, and why that wall is rarely about clinical depth. They unpack the sensory toll, the parent communication load, the school and provider coordination, the cost of running a play therapy room, and the way a child caseload can quietly distort a clinician's sense of what is developmentally typical. They also talk about how to build a long-haul career working with kids, teens, and families without becoming, in Curt's words, "a cynical, glitter-covered shell of a human being." This is a conversation for therapists in private practice, supervisors of clinicians who work with minors, and anyone weighing whether to keep working with kids, scale back, or pivot. In this episode, we discuss: Why working with kids is not a lesser clinical specialty Why the work is hard to sustain, and why "burnout" alone does not fully explain it How shifting from kid sessions to family work and parent work extends the clinical impact The sensory, physical, and administrative load of working with kids Why parents contact child therapists more than adult clients contact their own therapists The financial and logistical reality of running a play therapy room How a clinical caseload can distort a therapist's sense of typical development When a pivot to adult, family, or parent work is healthy, and when it is avoidance Timestamps: 00:15 — The "starter home" stereotype, and the five-year wall 06:03 — The 167-hour problem and why kid work is family work 10:08 — The sensory and physical toll 12:58 — Caseload diversification and structuring the day 19:41 — The unpaid hours: parents, schools, and the village 23:43 — The play therapy industrial complex 27:59 — Keeping up with kids' culture without losing yourself 30:19 — How a clinical caseload distorts the sense of typical development 33:09 — Expectations, moral injury, and what "fix my kid" really costs 35:01 — When a pivot is survival, and when it is avoidance Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann — https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano — https://groomsymusic.com/
This is one of those episodes that takes a little courage both to make, and perhaps to listen to. But we think you'll come away from it feeling more informed, less alone, and ready to take at least one step you've been putting off. Death and end of life planning are topics most of us avoid. Add childlessness into the mix and the silence gets even louder because so much of the information, guidance and legal framework out there assumes that you have someone: a child, a close family member, someone who knows you and will step in when the time comes. For a growing number of people, that assumption simply doesn't hold. In this episode we bring together three guests with distinct and complementary expertise to have the conversation that so many childless adults need and so rarely get. In this episode we cover: What end of life planning actually means, from advanced care planning right through to after death Powers of attorney: what they are, how they work, and crucially, what your options are if you don't have someone you trust to appoint Advanced Statements and Advanced Decisions to Refuse Treatment and why Penny argues these matter more than most people realise The concept of social death and how childlessness shapes the experience of ageing and loss What happens to your belongings and why recording the provenance of meaningful items matters The gap in legal guidance around local authority funerals and why it urgently needs updating Why there is currently no central register of wills in England and Wales and what that means for people who die alone The role of animals in later life, and the organisations that can help Assisted dying legislation: what it means (and doesn't mean) for powers of attorney right now Our guests: Charlotte Dixon — wills and probate solicitor and lifetime lawyer Professor Gail Letherby — sociologist and researcher specialising in childlessness, identity and the life course Penny Shepherd — coordinator of Ageing Without Children East Kent and trustee of the Ageing Without Children (AWOC) charity Please note: Nothing in this episode constitutes personal legal or financial advice.

If you're an SLP who constantly feels like the day ends before the work does, you're not imagining it.Between therapy sessions, evaluations, documentation, meetings, emails, and unexpected schedule changes, it can feel like you're always one step behind.But what if the problem isn't just time management?In this episode, I break down three hidden reasons many speech-language pathologists feel like there's never enough time and why working harder doesn't solve the problem.Here's What You'll Learn:Why the thought “I don't have time” can keep you stuck in reactive modeHow mental load makes your day feel more overwhelming than it actually isWhy systems reduce cognitive load for busy cliniciansHow constant role-switching affects productivityI also share a quick coaching story that perfectly illustrates how a five-minute decision can create hours of extra work later.This episode will help you start identifying whether what you're experiencing is actually a time problem or something else entirely.If you're an SLP who feels like you're constantly juggling too much, you're not alone—and there are ways to make your workload feel more manageable.

Feeling overwhelmed by a caseload that includes autism, childhood apraxia of speech, developmental language disorder, articulation, fluency, and AAC users… all back-to-back? You are not alone. Many speech-language pathologists walk into therapy sessions with a stack of different activities for every child. One game for articulation. Another for language. Another for fluency. Another for AAC. Before long, therapy starts to feel like running a fast-food counter. But what if you could run one powerful therapy routine that works for every child on your caseload? In this episode of The Preschool SLP Podcast, Kelly Vess shares the five-step therapy routine she uses every single day to deliver educationally rich, engaging sessions that treat the whole child while producing powerful gains across: • Speech sound production • Language development • Literacy skills • AAC use • Executive function • Motor planning and coordination Instead of pulling ten different activities from behind the therapy table, this routine uses one structured activity and simply changes the treatment target to match each child's goals. Built on principles from Universal Design for Learning, motor learning, and executive function research, this approach allows clinicians to work smarter, not harder. You will learn: • The five predictable therapy steps Kelly uses with every child • How to use one activity to treat speech, language, AAC, literacy, and fluency • Why predictable routines help children feel safe, regulated, and ready to learn • How task-oriented movement improves executive function and engagement • Why treating the whole child instead of just the mouth produces stronger outcomes When therapy is predictable, engaging, and multimodal, both the clinician and the child can be fully present. And that is when the magic happens. Join the SIS Membership If you love practical therapy frameworks like this, the SIS Membership was built for you. Each week inside SIS you receive: • Ready-to-use movement-based therapy activities • Powerful complex speech and language treatment targets • A growing treatment target library you can use with any caseload • A full literacy, language, and movement Google Slides deck for therapy, classrooms, or teletherapy Everything is designed to help busy SLPs deliver high-impact therapy without spending hours planning.

Show Notes: slpnow.com/251A caseload of 63 students doesn't tell the full story of your job. School-based SLPs juggle therapy, evaluations, IEP meetings, Medicaid billing, AAC programming, travel time, and more — yet capacity is often measured by one number. In this episode, we unpack the difference between caseload and workload, why “the math isn't mathing,” and how to shift the conversation with clarity and confidence.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between caseload and workload (and why it matters)Four principles to manage impossible workloadsHow to protect your contract hours without guiltSimple ways to document and make your workload visibleHow to approach administrators with clear, objective dataIf paperwork and planning are part of your overwhelm, check out our free trial at slpnow.com/pod.
What if I told you that you don't have to wait until licensure to start a private therapy practice? In today's episode, Annie shares her remarkable story about starting a private therapy practice as an associate therapist, something nearly everyone told her was impossible. Annie went from juggling part-time nanny work and struggling to keep two or three clients, to receiving 8–9 inquiries a month and building a nearly full caseload at her highest fee…all before getting licensed.In our conversation, she reveals the exact strategies that worked: redesigning her website using StoryBrand messaging to actually speak to her ideal clients, running Google Ads successfully when "everyone" said they wouldn't work, and learning to trust herself instead of all the external doubt and noise.If you're an associate therapist feeling scared, underpaid, or convinced that starting a private therapy practice isn't realistic for you right now, this episode is proof that with the right strategy and support, it absolutely is.More about Annie Patyk:Annie Patyk is an associate marriage and family therapist based in San Francisco, CA. She specializes in helping high-achieving women break cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt to build lives that feel authentic and aligned. Annie is passionate about helping her clients stay connected to their ambition while cultivating self-trust and honoring their deepest desires.Topics covered on How to Start a Private Therapy Practice:How Annie went from struggling with 2-3 clients she couldn't keep to getting 8-9 inquiries a month and building a nearly full caseloadHow redesigning her website using the StoryBrand framework became the foundation for successfully running Google AdsThe biggest shift she made in her consultation callsEveryone told her she'd never make enough money as an associate, but she decided to start a private therapy practice anyway and quit her nanny job in less than a yearThe difference between fear-based noise and the quiet knowing that comes from real intuitionThe financial reality of starting a private therapy practice - what client acquisition actually costs and how quickly you recoup your investmentConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachConnect with Annie:Website: anniepatyk.comEmail: annie.patyk.therapy@gmail.comResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessRelated episodes:Handling Fee Objections: What to Say When a Therapy Client Says Your Fee Is Too Expensive [Ep 152]Therapist Consult Call: The Simple Fix to Boost Your Client Conversion Rates [Ep 89]Quote:“The main mediator between people who are successful and people who are not, is that they're able to be in that space of frustration and not knowing for long periods of time, and just keep going.” Annie Patyk
Most therapists don't struggle with marketing because they're doing it wrong—they struggle because they're exhausted. In this episode, I break down the difference between shiny marketing (the tactics that look good but burn you out) and sticky marketing (the strategies that actually build trust, referrals, and consistent caseloads).We talk about why chasing algorithms, keywords, and trends often leads to panic posting and random visibility—and how to shift toward a relationship-based approach that works even when you're busy. If you've ever felt pressured to “do more content” or worried you can't compete with billion-dollar platforms, this episode will help you reset your strategy without adding more to your plate.In this episode, I cover:Why shiny marketing plays on burnout—and how sticky marketing builds trust instead of stressThe KPIs that actually matter for filling your caseload (and where most marketing breaks down)How opt-ins, simple resources, and community reduce no-shows and buyer mismatchWhy one focused lead magnet and one ideal client beats doing “all the things” every timeIf you're tired of marketing that fizzles out as soon as your schedule fills—or you want a more predictable, values-aligned way to grow—this episode will help you build a plan that works with your energy, not against it.For therapists who want clearer systems and less friction, this month's Paperwork Essential Starter Kit gives you practical tools to streamline intake, documentation, and onboarding. And inside the Step It Up Membership, we go deeper into building opt-ins, content pillars, and marketing systems you can actually sustain long-term.Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.
SLP burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a systems problem. In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, talk with researchers Dr. Tobias Kroll (Texas Tech) and Phuong Palafox, SLP, about their study, “The Invisible Workload of School-Based SLPs.” We cover why SLPs are advocating (and being ignored), how caseload vs. workload, siloed roles, and “martyr culture” fuel overwhelm, and where leadership and IDEA compliance pressure go off the rails. You'll hear practical wins that work now, and bigger-picture fixes universities and national orgs must lead. If you've ever been told to “practice self-care” while your schedule balloons, this conversation gives language, evidence, and steps to push back... together.

In this week's podcast, our hosts reflect on the recent statistics - which show that the average social worker caseload in the UK has fallen to the lowest in recorded history - considering frontline reactions to the news, and the credibility of the figures reported. Do these statistics align with the experiences of frontline social workers? Is a decline in agency social workers a cause for optimism, or concern? And both Vince and Cara share their strategies for improving conditions and reducing burnout and vacancies. What do YOU think? Join the conversation, every Friday morning.

Many therapists feel as though they have limited upward mobility in their careers. Graduate programs understandably focus on direct clinical practice and understanding evidence-based practices.Unfortunately, this leaves many clinicians unprepared to navigate policy work, salary negotiations, or running a business. This makes many therapists less confident in advocating for reasonable caseloads or better compensation because they feel they have limited options for earning a living. That's why I invited Rachel Archambault to episode 194 to talk about how state and local policy impacts clinical disciplines and how therapists can expand their career options. Rachel Archambault M.A. CCC-SLP is an award-winning speaker and consultant for trauma-informed care as well as a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). She collaborates with service providers (SLPs, doctors, PT/OT, etc.), parents, businesses (schools, hospitals, universities, rehab), and communities to incorporate trauma-informed care into their setting. In 2018, Rachel was an SLP at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL when an internationally publicized traumatic event happened at her workplace. After wondering how she could better work with her students (and self) who had undergone trauma, she found trauma-informed care. Her lived experience of trauma in combination with her profession allow her to bridge the gap for SLPs and other service providers who want to learn about and implement trauma-informed care in any setting. Rachel is a neurodivergent SLP, (PTSD & ADHD) and advocates for mental health trainings for SLPs. Rachel uses her unique journey to help put a face to trauma for healthcare providers, parents, and universities.In this conversion, we discuss:✅Negotiating salary for SLPs at the district level and giving public comment. ✅Making a case for districts to hire additional clinicians; including how to show the negative impact of high caseload numbers. ✅How to stay informed and understand how state and local policy impacts your ability to provide quality services. ✅Common knowledge gaps for clinicians; including people management, business operations, sales, marketing, and personal finance.

Since the 1963 Gideon decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, the right to a lawyer has been guaranteed to defendants facing criminal charges – even if they can't afford to pay. Advocates say that guarantee is in jeopardy in our state because of a lack of personnel. Washington State public defenders are in short supply and that's having cascading effects on the criminal legal system. The Washington State Bar Association is recommending a counterintuitive solution to the shortage: they want to cap the number of cases that public defenders can take on in a year, but the plan has its detractors.

It is produced by Australia Asia Worker Links, in the studio of 3CR Radio in Melbourne, Australia.
Asylum seekers and refugee boat arrivals that entered Australian waters before 1 January 2014 were subject to a different set of visa processing rules that limited their ability to seek a more permanent visa status. This group of about 30,000 people is known as the Legacy Caseload.A blanket ban was applied to individuals in this group, preventing them from having a refugee protection visa application processed unless the Immigration Minister exercised personal discretion to override the ban (known as "lifting the bar"). But in December 2022, Andrew Giles declared that 19,000 permanent residencies would be granted, leaving approximately 12,000 refugees in limbo.A group of these refugees has set up a permanent tent embassy firstly outside of Clare O'Neil's electoral office, and now, outside of the office of Home Affairs in Melbourne. I spoke with three of these Temporary Protection Visa holders, Narges, Aida and Afifa.

June 18th Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode Civil filings are falling. They have been for some time. In fact, most court filings have been on a slow decline. In 2018, The National Center for State Courts put out a bulletin stating that nationally every major case category had declined from 2008 to 2016. There are indications that in some states (California for example), the decline in civil filings started as far back as 1980. This gradual decline seems little affected by economics, court organization, the presence or absence of court self-help centers, the state of the local bar, the type of case management system the court uses, or the amount of filing fees charged. With the possible exception of Texas, this decline appears widespread. This inevitably leads to the critical yet unanswered question “Why is this happening?” This month we're talking about a new book just out by Alan Carlson and John Greacen called What is Happening to State Trial Court Civil Filings? We will explore questions including: · Why didn't we court professionals see this coming a long time ago? · Are there changes in our society that are leading to changes in how people view the courts? · Do we have any idea how people are getting their disputes resolved if it is not by going through the courts? · Are courts actually ready to do the work to find out what is happening with filings? Today's Panel Alan Carlson: retired court administrator of the Superior Court in Orange County, California; John Greacen: nationally known consultant on courts and court administration; Marcus Reinkensmeyer: Deputy State Court Administrator for the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts.
A series of new executive actions are aimed at improving security at the southern border, we'll tell you how the changes are being received at the border. Also, it's June, usually around the time the U.S. Supreme Court goes into recess - but justices still have 16 fairly major cases to consider - that's a lot. And, we'll check in on the health of the U.S. economy, looking at barometers like inflation, mortgage rates, and employment numbers.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Today, on the Real Talk SLP podcast, we will discuss tips for picking speech and language therapy books for your caseload. Most school-based SLPs have larger caseloads, so finding a speech therapy book to cover every age and goal is tricky. I am going to help you narrow down the book selections so that every month, you can use 2-4 books to cover the majority of your speech therapy caseload. In episode 114, we talked about what to do before you start reading books in literacy-based speech therapy. This helps students with comprehension, increases engagement with new vocabulary, and extends the life of a book in your sessions. In episode 115, I share lots of ways to increase engagement in your sessions when reading books. Add Your Heading Text Here If you work in the school setting as an SLP, you need professional development training that will help you serve your students well. We want to help support you with building your clinical skills! Get those PD hours done with practical strategies you can implement with your caseload tomorrow. Sign up today! For the month of May, here is our line-up of speakers on Instagram. Questions to Ask Yourself About Your Speech Therapy Caseload Before you select a speech and language therapy book, consider what goals you are targeting with your students.Here are the list of questions I ask myself when determining what literacy-based speech therapy book I am going to choose:What are the goals you are trying to cover?How many goals can I address with this book?Would this book fit my student's language levels and attention span?Does this book have a lot of words with my student's speech sound?What does this book provide for supporting skills in the classroom environment?Does this book provide a new perspective or glimpse into another culture?

We also provide Google Slides with links to songs, videos, and digital activities as well as speech homework, newsletters, task cards, non-fiction reading passages, themed flashcards and more!

Many fundraisers aren't starting their caseloads from scratch – they're inheriting a donor caseload that was previously managed by someone else. Whether you're a new hire, or you're moving into a new role within the same organization and taking on a new caseload, this transition can be complicated. How do you introduce yourself to these donors who already know your organization, but not you? In this episode, Matt Gill and Diana Frazier offer steps you can take to help you navigate this transition depending on the specifics of your situation. We hope these tips will help you feel more confident about stepping into your new role in a way that honors the donor and strengthens their connection to your organization! Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… What to do based on the different scenarios in which you might be inheriting a caseload (starting at a new organization, or moving into a new role at your current organization, or redistributing caseloads) Protocols for introducing yourself to donors and where to use warm hand-offs from a previous caseload manager Tips for leadership on how to support fundraisers who are taking on a new portfolio

We have a lot of pictures and videos on today's show of when growing up was growing up. Those were the days. Most of you probably didn't get to experience free range play when you risked your life on a 30 foot jungle gym. There are far more serious things though that have been stolen. It is not uncommon for the sexual left to degrade Christ, but I will tell you about where this degradation took place and it should surprise you. Another thing that is being stolen is your financial heritage. There is a financial heritage in this county, a reason why the founding fathers said to stay out of debt. Nancy Pelosi, a woman famous for insider trading, says that Trump is getting hung up by Russia by something financial. Something fundamental that is being stolen from you is the knowledge that God placed the globe in the exact position it should be, with the correct amount sunlight down to the degree. Despite his design, the climate grifters, like Klaus Schwab's daughter, are saying that climate lockdowns will happen whether you like it or not. And, your future is being stolen from you, although it is not as important as your eternity. What does God's Word say? Ephesians 6:1-41Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a]4 Fathers,[b] do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.Deuteronomy 6:7-12 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.Episode 1,424 Links:Incredibly Kids Playgrounds From Early 20th CenturyBoys Playground Jumping off Swing Slo-Mo Fun!“Permanent Climate Lockdowns are coming whether you like it or not…” -Klaus Schwab's daughter Natalie.

Do you have numerous cases close to being completed but, because they are no longer urgent, they sit among the rest of your work and make you feel overwhelmed by all there is to do?

RHLSTP Book Club 45 - Ashes to Admin. Richard talks to Evie King (if that is her real name) about her new book about her council job of organising funerals for people who don't have the means to pay for them. It's a surprisingly affecting story about a woman doing a job you've never thought about, much more fastidiously and empathetically than is required and a celebration of life and a treatise on death, as well as being full of intrigue, mystery and humour. They discuss why murderers haven't thought it through, how even those who have done bad things deserve a dignified send off, why you need a strong stomach for this job and how your life can be affected and changed by someone who you never met, who is no longer alive. It's a strong recommend for this excellent book which hopefully will one day be a TV series. But who will play Evie? And who will play the dead suspected paedo? (Yeah, the second question is easier to answer than the first).https://www.lovereading.co.uk/book/9781915306302/isbn/Ashes-To-Admin-Tales-from-the-Caseload-of-a-Council-Funeral-Officer-by-Evie-King.htmlSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.
