For years, autistic play has been misunderstood, redirected, or even discouraged. But what if the very things we've been trying to "fix" are actually authentic expressions of joy, regulation, and connection? In this replay of my powerful conversation with nationally recognized pediatric SLP, speaker, and neurodiversity-affirming advocate Cari Ebert, we explore why autistic play is real play — and why honoring it changes everything. Together, we unpack deep interests, regulation-first teaching, expanding play without pressure, and what it truly means to presume competence. This episode will gently challenge old assumptions and give you practical, relationship-based strategies you can use right away. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why autistic children play differently — and why different doesn't mean wrong The difference between wide interests and deep interests How honoring deep interests builds meaningful connection and communication What "regulate, reach, teach" looks like in real classrooms and therapy sessions Why compliance-based approaches often lead to dysregulation How to expand play schemes without pressure or power struggles What it truly means to presume competence Why autistic joy deserves to be protected and celebrated Key Takeaways Autistic play is authentic play Different does not mean deficient Connection builds communication Regulation must come before instruction Behavior is communication, especially during dysregulation Deep interests are powerful pathways to learning Presuming competence can unlock incredible potential Honor autistic joy Try This Choose one child this week and intentionally shift your lens. Observe their deep interest without interrupting or redirecting Join their play through parallel play — without an agenda Model one small expansion (no pressure, no hand-over-hand) Adjust one environmental factor to support regulation Reframe one "behavior" by asking: What is the why behind this? Small shifts in perspective can create big shifts in connection.

We see regulation increase. We see connection deepen. We see communication grow. And most importantly — we protect autistic joy. Autistic children become autistic adults. The way we respond to their play today shapes how they experience themselves tomorrow. Let's honor their joy.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, literacy coach, interventionist, or SLP, this conversation will help you see student spelling errors not as mistakes, but as meaningful data.

Burnout is driving talented SLPs out of the profession, and perfectionism is a major reason why. In this episode, we break down the myth of the “perfect SLP” and how unrealistic expectations that start in grad school, intensify through credentialing culture, and follow clinicians into the workplace are breaking speech-language pathologists. We talk honestly about burnout, fear of mistakes, productivity pressure, and why so many clinicians feel like they're never doing enough, even when they're doing everything. This conversation reframes burnout as a systemic problem, not a personal failure, and names what SLPs actually need to stay in the field.Stop paying to track ASHA-approved CEUs.

Prompting AAC is abuse? Let's talk about that and a few other AAC conversations that keep coming up again and again.In today's solo episode, I'm diving into five hot topics in AAC that have been surfacing repeatedly in my recent calls, trainings, and collaboration meetings. After more than 20 years as a speech therapist and being dually certified as a BCBA, I've seen how confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes divisive AAC conversations can become. I also remember very clearly when AAC felt intimidating to me too.This episode is about cutting through the noise, grounding ourselves in research, and having better, more collaborative conversations about AAC. I share real scenarios clinicians are facing right now, from AAC evaluations that drag on far too long to device access barriers to strong opinions about prompting that simply don't align with the science. My goal is to help you feel more confident, more informed, and better equipped to advocate for your students and clients.Whether you're newer to AAC or have years of experience, these topics matter. AAC is a student's voice, and we have a responsibility to protect, support, and expand it in thoughtful, ethical ways.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why AAC evaluations should be thorough, but not take nine months, and what may be going wrong when they doHow to approach parent-purchased devices, including those bought online, with collaboration instead of fearThe ongoing core versus fringe vocabulary debate, and why research supports using bothWhy prompting is a teaching tool, not abuse, and how misinformation can harm collaboration and progressMentioned In This Episode:Earn CEUs with a community of peers.

Hallie and Tricia Detig chat about high school speech therapy.In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with Tricia Detig — creator of Thoughtful Talk and a high school SLP working with resource and life skills students. Tricia shares her journey from middle school to high school, getting real about the differences. She talks about building rapport with older students, ditching lectures for hands-on activities, and making therapy meaningful through real-world experiences like running a coffee cart and back-to-back drawing challenges. Plus, she dives into push-in services, student buy-in, and why working with secondary students is a "hidden gem." If you're in the high school world or thinking about it, this one's packed with practical tips and real talk.Bullet Points to Discuss: The vibe shift from middle to high school (and cracking that "too cool" shell) Building rapport and getting buy-in with older students Push-in vs. pull-out—how it's decided Why hands-on beats lectures (coffee carts > worksheets) Bringing job readiness into everyday therapy Getting students involved in their own IEP meetings Why secondary is a "hidden gem" worth exploringHere's what we learned: High schoolers aren't hard—they just need you to meet them where they are. Hands-on beats worksheets every time (especially for carryover). Functional skills like coffee carts teach more than homework help ever will. Progress looks different with older students—focus on life skills, not just data.Students in their IEP meetings changes everything (even if they just listen). Secondary isn't scary—it's a hidden gem once you adjust. Ask questions and lean on your team—secondary SLPs stay forever for a reason.Learn more about Tricia Detig: Website: https://www.thoughtfultalk.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtful.talk/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thoughtfultalk.llc Teachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/thoughtful-talk-llc-formerly-detig-dialect Speech Therapy Goal Bank for Middle School [grades 6-8]Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

What began as a curious joke with friends became a lifelong calling after she moved to the United States.Denise is also the co-host of the Heal Yourself Podcast, where she and her co-host lead powerful conversations on self-healing, emotional mastery, and elevating your relationship with yourself from the inside out.After years as a school-based SLP, Denise never saw herself as a business owner. But a pivotal stint managing her then-husband's auto shop—handling scheduling, insurance claims, invoices, and client complaints—became her unexpected training ground. She looked in the mirror and realized, “Why am I not doing this for me?”Her turning point came on a walk past a neighbor's house—a neighbor who happened to be a special education coordinator. Denise asked how to get on the list for Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs). That simple question started a domino effect: her first contract led to school referrals, which gave her the foundation to build a practice intentionally designed around her life, not the other way around.With a focus on school contracts, IEEs, and private clients, Denise has created what she calls a “lifestyle practice.” It's a model built on freedom and flexibility, allowing her to heal her nervous system, prioritize her daughter's competitive dance schedule, and travel—all while serving a population she loves.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How running an auto shop gave her the unexpected confidence to start her own practiceWhy she ditched perfection and chose progress with purposeWhat it's like to build a mobile, flexible “lifestyle” practice while navigating divorce and deep personal healingHow she makes income from school contracts, private pay clients, and independent evaluations — without burning outDenise's story is a powerful reminder that your path to private practice doesn't have to look traditional. By trusting her unique journey and leveraging all of her experiences, she designed a business that supports her life, family, and well-being first.Ready to explore what a lifestyle practice could look like for you? Whether you're just starting to consider private practice or looking to grow an existing one, the right guidance can help you build the freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment you deserve — just like Denise has. The Grow Your Private Practice Program gives you the coaching and guidance to scale your private practice.

If you've ever heard me talk about coaching and wondered, "But what IS coaching, exactly?" you're not alone. This episode was inspired by a real conversation in my Facebook group that made me realize a lot of SLPs don't actually know what coaching is and how it can help. (I didn't either before I found it.)So today, I'm breaking down five things I wish every SLP understood about coaching and why it might be the missing piece if your life looks fine on paper, but feels heavy in practice.What You'll LearnI'll explain why coaching is not advice, mentoring, or someone telling you what to doI share how coaching is similar to — and very different from — therapyWe'll talk about how coaching helps you build a life that actually fits your brain, especially if you have ADHDI'll break down why coaching is evidence-based and not “woo”I explain who coaching is actually for and why you don't have to be falling apart to benefitIf This ResonatesIf this episode had you nodding along or thinking, “Oh, that' sounds helpful,”  I'd love to talk with you. You don't need a perfectly defined goal. Clarity is something we build together.

Lance Mabry, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, an assistant professor at High Point University and a seasoned imaging educator, joins host Phil Plisky for a conversation that challenges the status quo around imaging in rehab. Together, they explore how clinicians like you can step into a more informed, active role when it comes to referring, reviewing, and communicating about diagnostic imaging. You'll hear practical insights that help you avoid common missteps, reduce patient harm, and advocate for evidence-based, ethical decision-making. Whether you're a PT, AT, OT, or SLP, this episode equips you to better navigate the gray areas of imaging with confidence.Learning ObjectivesAnalyze the evidence on asymptomatic findings in diagnostic imaging to support ethical and informed decision-makingApply evidence-based, practical strategies to actionably address and communicate missed or overlooked radiologic findings in a way that enhances interprofessional collaborationSolve patient case scenarios involving signs of cervical myelopathy by identifying implications for performance and participation in meaningful daily activitiesTimestamps(00:00:00) Welcome(00:00:05) The importance of imaging in rehabilitation(00:00:22) Introducing Dr. Lace Mabry(00:08:20) Understanding when to refer for imaging(00:15:05) The role of rehabilitation providers in imaging decisions(00:18:12) Effective communication with radiologists(00:29:00) Interpreting imaging findings and patient communication(00:45:30) Case study: successful imaging referral and outcomes(00:50:36) Three important takeawaysRehab and Performance Lab is brought to you by Medbridge.

Is working until 65 actually bad for your health? In this episode, we dig into what the research really says about the link between retirement age and mortality. I share my journey from being obsessed with early retirement to recognizing the deeper value of time freedom, purpose, and creativity in financial planning. We explore how most professionals are actually on track to be wealthier than they realize, how you can use flexible financial strategies to live better now, and how to stop optimizing for being the richest person in the cemetery. Key moments: (02:40) What the NIH research actually says about retirement and mortality (06:01) What people really want isn't early retirement — it's control over their time (10:15) Most professionals are already on track to have "too much" money (25:06) Why chasing passive income is often solving the wrong problem   Like the show?

In today's episode, I sat down with Nafisa Obi to talk about what it really looks like to bring speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA together under one roof. Nafisa shared her journey from starting a small speech therapy practice to co-founding Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, which has grown into a nationwide franchise model focused on early intervention and true interdisciplinary collaboration.We talked honestly about the realities of private practice ownership, the challenges of adding ABA to an existing SLP practice, and why understanding your “why” matters so much when you're building services that impact families. Nafisa walked us through how her team recognized a gap in care, leaned into collaboration instead of competition, and built a model that prioritizes children, families, and ethical growth.This conversation is especially powerful if you're an SLP, OT, BCBA, or practice owner who feels the pull to do more for your clients but isn't sure where to start. Nafisa's story is a reminder that thoughtful, family-centered care and sustainable business practices can exist together, and that collaboration truly changes outcomes.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How Essential Speech and ABA Therapy evolved from a speech-only clinic into a fully collaborative SLP, OT, and ABA modelWhat SLPs need to consider when adding ABA services, from staffing and billing to company cultureWhy true interdisciplinary collaboration improves outcomes for autistic children and their familiesHow franchising became a way to responsibly expand access to ethical, high-quality autism careMentioned In This Episode:Essential Speech and ABA TherapyNafisa Obi on LinkedInJoin the ABA Speech Connection  ABA Speech: Home

Catherine Crestani is a Soul Activator, intuitive channel, founder of Willow Healing and host of the Willow Healing podcast who integrates psychic insights, frequency transmission and soul level decoding to help people remember who they truly are.

I'm bringing back one of my mini episodes that continues to spark great conversations around verbal imitation. This reprise dives into how we think about echoics and verbal imitation in a way that is thoughtful, ethical, and grounded in collaboration. I share why this can be such a tricky area, especially when speech-language pathologists and BCBAs are working together, and why context always matters more than a checklist.In this episode, I walk through how I approach verbal imitation on a team, why assessment and collaboration are essential, and how we can support learners without turning them off to verbal communication. This is a practical listen that encourages all of us to slow down, zoom out, and make sure our targets are truly functional for the child in front of us.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why verbal imitation and echoics require careful, collaborative decision-makingThe role of assessments and context when choosing verbal targetsHow SLP and BCBA collaboration supports ethical and effective programmingA high-level look at maintaining and generalizing verbal imitation skillsMentioned In This Episode:Verbal Imitation Guide (Hack #19) Join our ethics course Join the aba speech connection  ABA Speech: Home

This is the first episode of 2026 and I'll be honest: I'm not feeling the New Year hype. If you're exhausted by the "new year, new you!" messaging and secretly wondering why you're not motivated yet, it's okay! You're human. In this episode, I'm giving you permission to stop forcing it and offering a gentler, alternative way to move forward without spiraling or staying stuck.What You'll LearnWhy not feeling “motivated” in January makes complete sense (and why it's not a problem)Why forcing goals too early often backfires—especially for ADHD brainsHow to let yourself land instead of launching into pressureHow a simple 3-day observation reset builds clarity without overwhelmHow to choose a North Star that fits where you actually are right nowIf This Resonates…If you're tired of "should-ing" on yourself and want support easing back into focus, balance, and structure—without burnout—I'd love to help. You can book a free 1:1 consult right here.  And if you want extra support and real conversations with other SLPs who get it, come join us inside the Facebook group (name change coming soon

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie tackles the chaos of returning to work in January. If you're feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation, this one's for you. She's dishing out practical strategies for easing back into therapy mode, getting your students re-engaged (even when they'd rather be literally anywhere else), and turning that New Year energy into actual buy-in. Hallie also shares how one simple activity can hit multiple goals across your entire caseload—because who has time to prep five different things? It's all about working smarter, not harder, and remembering that relationships matter just as much as data.Bullet Points to Discuss: Starting light: connection before data collection Quick check-ins and warmup games for the first week back Getting student buy-in through goal-setting conversations New Year's themed activities across all goal areas One activity, multiple goals: the SLP magic formula Why student voice and choice matter The secret sauce: creativity, adaptability, and compassionHere's what we learned: Stretching before the sprint—ease into the first week instead of going full throttle. Your students are coming back just as tired and unmotivated as you are (totally normal!).Asking "what would make speech more useful or fun for you?" is a game changer. One activity can work for your entire caseload when you know how to adapt it. Show students their voice matters, and they'll actually want to show up. You don't need to be perfect—just present, creative, and compassionate.Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:
