In this practical episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Dr. Danika Pfeiffer—preschool SLP, assistant professor, and early literacy researcher—about how we can support early writing in young kids, especially those with developmental language disorder (DLD). From understanding why name writing is more about memory than letters, to how SLPs can build in writing practice without adding to their workload, Danika breaks it all down. You'll hear simple ideas, ways to team up with teachers and OTs, and why even small moments of print awareness can go a long way. If you've ever wondered if writing is in your scope, this convo will leave you feeling inspired and ready to dive in—one crayon at a time.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why early writing starts earlier than you think—even in preschoolThe difference between name writing and letter writingHow writing challenges show up in kids with developmental language disorder (DLD)Simple ways to embed writing practice into your existing sessionsWhat SLPs can look for during evaluations—no fancy tools neededBuilding print awareness without overhauling your therapyPartnering with teachers and OTs around early writing supportThe SLP's role in preventing future writing difficultiesMaking early writing doable (and meaningful) for busy SLPsHere's what we learned: Name writing is visual recall—not true letter-sound knowledge.Letter writing is harder and needs explicit, repeated support.Kids with DLD follow typical writing development but at a slower pace.Easy, everyday strategies (like sign-in sheets or labeled items) can build writing skills.Print awareness fits naturally into speech sessions—no overhaul needed.Informal assessments (paper + crayon!) are enough to track early writing.Collaborate with teachers and OTs to target both language and motor skills.Early writing support helps prevent bigger literacy challenges laterLearn more about Dr. Danika Pfeiffer: Website: www.danikapfeiffer.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikapfeiffer.slp/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/danika-pfeiffer Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/danikapfeiffer.bsky.social Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/444VIuWOxBzZ8fI2hqGyFj Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

While many therapists dream of private practice, the risk of hitting a legal landmine holds many back. In this episode, we are going to zoom in on one OT who is looking to partner with a doctor who is providing concierge dementia services. We'll use this as a case example to talk through what legal considerations OTs need to make when starting a practice: from choosing the right legal entity, to partnering with a specific provider, to navigating Medicare, to understanding anti-trust and anti-kick back laws. Yes. We are getting in the weeds. But, this is essential. We'll welcome back two returning podcast guests,  Monika Lukasiewicz, OTR/L (who is looking to start her practice) and Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP (a pediatric occupational therapist/private practice owner, who also has a degree in health law.) You can find more details on this course here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/legal-considerations-for-otSupport the show

Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it's 2025 and somehow this wasn't already illegal).

Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it's a Cold War cosplay. And don't worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let's go.

Do you want to start your private practice, but feel intimidated by the financial aspect of starting a business? This episode is for you!Today I'm joined by Becky Spence, an SLP who made an incredible pivot from owning a thriving private practice to becoming a certified tax advisor specifically for healthcare professionals and small business owners. Becky started her private practice, Achieve Therapy, back in 2014. After business boomed during the pandemic, thanks to her teletherapy, she experienced a bit of sticker shock despite paying estimated taxes throughout the year. She decided to head in a new direction to help SLPs, OTs, and other small business owners understand their finances, maximize tax deductions, and more!In this episode, Becky shares financial tips for setting up your business to thrive financially, including what our community needs to know about tax savings! As a speech-language pathologist turned tax advisor, Becky has a unique perspective on problem-solving and empowering others to succeed. Her journey into tax advising began when she faced the challenges of understanding tax systems and deduction strategies for her own private practice. It became clear that many start-ups and small business owners needed tailored, accessible support in this area. Motivated by this, she earned her tax advising certification to help fill this gap. Now, Becky combines her passion for helping others with an expertise in tax advising to support small business owners. Her goal is to simplify financial complexities, assist in maximizing deductions, and help create effective business plans and growth strategies. By offering personalized guidance and practical implementation, she helps business owners gain the confidence and clarity they need to focus on what matters most: growing and thriving in their ventures.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Bridging the gap between clinician and CEOExperiencing major growth during the pandemicWho Becky works with and what exactly she helps withTwo tax deductions SLPs may not know aboutCreating your own retirement plan so you can comfortably leave your job If Becky's story resonated with you and you're feeling curious (or maybe even a little panicked) about your finances, I highly recommend booking a free 15-minute discovery call with her at SpenceTaxAdvising.com.Whether you want to start a private practice or grow your existing private practice, I can help you get the freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financial abundance that you deserve.

Patti shares her journey from struggling with undiagnosed vision issues to becoming a leading expert in reflex integration and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. She explains how primitive reflexes act as neurological "codes" that, when disrupted by brain injury, can lead to symptoms like emotional dysregulation, balance issues, and sensory overload.Patti dives into practical strategies for reintegrating these reflexes, including movement exercises, visualization techniques, and sensory stimulation. She also highlights the importance of a team approach, involving neuro-optometrists, OTs, and other specialists, to restore optimal brain function. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how vision, reflexes, and sensory processing interconnect—and how addressing these foundational systems can accelerate recovery.Resources Mentioned:Patti's Website: sensoryfocus.comWork Email: info@sensoryfocus.comBook: Indicators of Primitive and Postural Reflexes by Patti AndrichNeuro-Optometric Resources:COVD.ORG (College of Optometrists in Vision Development)NORA Vision Rehab (Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association)Contact info:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/patti-andrich-2298a3134                  Instagram: @thevisiondevelopmentteamIf you would like to sign up for a free concussion coaching consultation with me to learn how you can understand and manage your symptoms, speed up your recovery, and get your life back following a concussion, click here: ⁠https://theconcussioncoach.com/contact

We've done our position previews for the 2025 NFL Draft, it's time for our position REVIEWS now. We get into the one position the Denver Broncos doubled up on with the edge rushers from this 2025 NFL Draft class. We also look at the other side of the trenches, to a position Denver's surprisingly not addressed in the draft under Sean Payton; Offensive Tackle. What can we expect from Que Robinson and Sai'vion Jones in year one? and did the Broncos get good value out of their two edge rushers? Why did all the contenders draft OTs and what should we make of that? Could this be Denver's biggest need next offseason? Join Henry Chisholm, Jake Schwanitz and Andre Simone as they get into the biggest offseason NFL moves all summer long. 0:00 Start3:00 Edge rusher class17:00 Favorite Edge rusher picks31:32 Next class of Edge rushers35:00 Next QB Class37:30 Offenisve tackle class #broncos #denverbroncos #seanpayton #nfl An ALLCITY Network Production PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports BALL-KNOWER BONUS/Merch: https://promotion.allcitynetwork.com/promotions/store.allcitynetwork/7d48d294-4260-4bac-aca1-9a18eef8ca78SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sports Toyota: Visit Your Front Range Toyota Stores at a location near you - Toyota is the official vehicle of DNVR.

Ever wondered how school-based OTs can meaningfully support students with extensive support needs? Supporting students with extensive support needs has long been one of the most challenging and under-resourced areas of school-based OT. In this first of a two-part episode, Dr. Savitha Sundar joins Jayson to unpack the history, systemic influences, and practitioner struggles that shape how services are delivered in special education classrooms today. From redefining outdated language to exploring how friendships and peer modeling can shift trajectories, this episode is a powerful reflection on the ethical and practical realities of inclusive education.This episode sets the foundation for building more inclusive school communities—and why occupational therapists play a key role in leading that change.

If you're tired of feeling underappreciated and held back by the school system, this episode is for you!Joining me today is Kim Willard, SLP and founder of Empower YOU Speech and Language Therapy in Spring Hill, Tennessee. After a new school position did not live up to her expectations following a move, Kim realized something had to change.Kim decided to open her private practice after joining the Start Your Private Practice Program back in 2023, and it's been amazing to watch her create success on her own terms. In this episode, Kim shares what it's like to run a mobile private practice that reflects her priorities and gives her the job satisfaction she's always wanted.As a speech therapist with over 18 years of experience and a graduate of stuttering therapy, Kim Willard believes that everyone can become a confident communicator, regardless of their differences. Her practice, Empower YOU, is centered around making speech and language therapy a meaningful and joyful experience for all types of learners. She takes a child-centered approach to therapy sessions, supporting connection over compliance. Her greatest pleasure is to see a child fall in love with learning, share their unique thoughts with the world, and feel as special as they are. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Dealing with career disappointment following an exciting move Navigating private practice while working full-time, and when she realized she could quit her jobWhat Kim's day-to-day looks like running her own practiceLearning to believe in your skillset and charge what you're worthDeveloping working relationships that lead to referrals (and not competition!)I hope Kim's inspiring story reminds you it's never too late to pivot and start calling the shots yourself.

Join us for a conversation with Carolyn Ferrer, a seasoned occupational therapist with over 16 years of experience, as she wraps up her Post-Professional OTD at Boston University's Sargent College. Carolyn spent 13 years working in inpatient rehab in Detroit, where she supported individuals with spinal cord injuries, strokes, limb loss, and other complex medical conditions. Her time there, especially through the challenges of the pandemic, not only sharpened her clinical skills but also deepened her perspective as a practitioner and person. In the years that followed, Carolyn transitioned into teaching, starting as a guest lecturer and eventually becoming an adjunct instructor. Inspired to take the next step in her career, she returned to school to pursue her PP-OTD. She found the “just right challenge” at Sargent College, where a supportive environment helped her balance school, teaching, and life. Tune in to hear Carolyn reflect on her experience in the program and share insights from her doctoral project—an innovative continuing education initiative that equips OTs to better support clients living with chronic conditions in managing their daily lives.

Derek does the California Mille – California's take on the 1000-mile Italian road rally, the Mille Miglia. Behind the wheel of a 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce, Derek (and OTS & Co. cofounder, Tazio Ottis), experienced some of central California's best driving roads between Half Moon Bay and Calistoga alongside over 80 of the finest automobiles to exist by the mid-20th century. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Initially dreamt up by local driving legend and passionate car enthusiast, Martin Swig, the California Mille hopes to recreate some of the legendary driving experiences of Italy's Mille Miglia. After Martin's passing, his wife and two sons (specialists at Broad Arrow and Bring-a-Trailer ) carried on the tradition until the event was purchased by Hagerty in late 2020. It's a swanky affair with spas, fancy lunches, drive-thru oyster bars, and open regular bars, with specialist mechanics and flatbed tow trucks at your beck and call. Naturally with 70-year-old (or older) cars, many breakdowns ensued. A Mercedes 300SL needed a tow, and a Ferrari 250 TdF required assistance from Patrick Ottis Company after several transmission components welded themselves together. A bolt came dislodged on the shift linkage of a Citroën ID promptly stranding it, but Derek's stash of spare bolts saved the day. Differentials were grenaded, and problematic torpedo fuses were replaced while still in motion. A woman in a Honda Accord even PIT-maneuvered a pre-war Bentley on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Carmudgeons discuss past rally experiences in a W201 190E in Europe, Jason's 5000-mile trek to Ohio in his Scirocco, the Orange Blossom Rally in a Mazda Cosmo, and the BABE Rally in a $400 Cadillac stretch limo. Derek touches on the Colorado Grand Rally and Copper State Rally, and the boys discuss possibly starting the Curmudgeon Mille e Uno Rally. Derek points out that Miles Collier, cofounder of the precursor to the SCCA, posited that there are 2 types of enthusiasts: contemplative and experiential. Rallies are definitely for the latter. Plus Jason wears an un-tailored button-down, we dive headfirst into porta potties, and we wonder if the 1988 Honda Accord is too reliable to rally. Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling “too young” to start a private practice? My guest today is proof that success in private practice is doable for anyone thinking about it!Today I'm talking with Aurora Baraiolo, SLP and founder of Aurora B's Communication Device Evaluations & SLP Services. Since joining the Start Your Private Practice program in August 2024, Aurora has built a robust caseload while balancing her doctoral studies and growing her AAC-focused private practice that serves both Rhode Island and Massachusetts.The best part is, Aurora only works three and a half days each week!

She started her private practice journey at the end of August 2024, and in just 6 months, has generated a full caseload seeing her preferred population!

Today we're giving you the inside scoop on the next Operator Training Summit in La Jolla, California (that's right, where influencers pretend to jog and Navy SEALs learn to leave Combat Controller's on the OBJ). If you've ever wanted mentorship, expert instruction, and a slight brush with aquatic panic, this is your episode.We're breaking down everything you need to know: deep-ass pools, buddy breathing without drowning your buddy, and how Drownproofing in the same pool as Deep End Fitness is more of a spiritual journey than a drill. Oh, and don't worry—this is NOT a smoke session. It's deliberate. It's intentional. And you'll leave with more than just sore calves and PTSD from mask and snorkel drills.Also featuring:

We all know rehab is not accessible to everyone who needs it after a neurologic injury. There are a number of reasons why, and, fortunately, there are also people looking to solve that problem. On today's show we interviewed Amy Rohe, MS, OTR/L, CSRS, ATP who works for Neurofenix, a company that is transforming neurological rehabilitation with its innovative virtual therapy platform. The primary tool used by the OTs of Neurofenix is the NeuroBall, an FDA-approved device, that offers patients engaging, data-driven occupational therapy from the comfort of their homes. This model of delivery is really unique and interesting for clinicians and innovators in the healthcare space! The approach addresses critical gaps in traditional rehabilitation by providing accessible, consistent therapy for patients with neurological conditions, particularly stroke survivors. With over 90% patient adherence and plans for expansion, Neurofenix represents the future of technology-driven rehabilitation.
