This is our 4th episode of Prep for An Affirming School Year, where we're talking to school-based professionals about how they implement affirming practices in their setting and spread the word on their campus and in their districts. In this episode, SLPA Clarissa Behrens speaks about the opportunities she's had to share new ideas with supervisors and others on her team, and how she makes neurodiversity approachable to others in her school.

We believe that creating an allyship plan is essential in today's society to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is important to recognize that allyship is not just a one-time action, but a continuous effort that requires an intentional plan. Which is why on this week's episode of Making the Shift, we are sitting down with Dr. Jennifer Hutton to discuss why creating an allyship plan is critical and how we can get moving on implementing that plan.

Guest: Inez Esparza, a Spanish Certified Medical Interpreter, and ASHA Certified SLPA - As a profession, speech-language pathology has an abundance of English-speaking clinicians evaluating and treating individuals who may not or do not speak English.

The Answer is through interprofessional education and learning more about certified medical interpretation. In this hour, Inez shares her advanced skills to educate colleagues about the process of becoming a certified medical interpreter, how to ethically and effectively collaborate with a certified medical interpreter in evaluation, and how to ensure optimal long-term outcomes by creating joyful interprofessional relationships. If you're a monolingual SLP and need guidance on expanding your evidence-based triangle for the patients you serve, this is the conversation for you.

Katrina Mallon a Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) Consultant, currently studying in supervision will be our guest to share about creating a way to connect that is filled with love & personal empowerment. Families with kids coping with a life of dancing on the Autism Spectrum work with Kat to develop the naturally occurring guiding relationship between a parent and a child, which Kat has found ACTUALLY applies to everyone. Because RDI is based on the development of a working relationship, understanding this method of learning together can help with business, social, and partnered connections in our lives also. Kat has worked with children in a number of capacities over the past decade ranging in positions from kid camp leader to Special Olympic Figure skating coach to Therapy Assistant (OTA, SLPA, and PTA certified). She’s worked with hundreds of adults to develop communication, leadership and coping skills as they enrich their family’s lives together. She declares that finding RDI was the missing piece to bring all her talents and joy together to serve people best.  Connect with Katrina Mallon here https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=Katrina%20MallonHave you been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted?

This week, TWT presents four more short interviews, aka "small talks", covering a variety of topics related to AAC and Assistive Technology!   Before the interviews, Rachel talks about a contentious IEP she recently attended for a student she consults with.  Rachel had some ideas about supporting literacy that she shared with the team, but the team was resistant to Rachel’s input as an SLP and didn’t seem interested in changing any goals. Chris shares about a situation early in his career where he was told SLPs “don’t do reading” - but those same people couldn’t say who was responsible for helping the student succeed. Chris then connects this to ASHA’s perspective that reading falls under the scope of practice for SLPs. Rachel touches on some of the mistakes that are often made when teaching a minimally verbal student to read, presumably because teachers don’t know how to support a student’s reading effectively if he or she can’t read out loud.    This week's Small Talks are:  

This SLP shares what it was like transitioning from teaching and working as an SLPA to getting her Master’s in speech-language pathology and opening her own private practice.

This week you get to hear from Jillian Yudin an SLPA in Orange County, CA. Jillian is the first SLPA on the podcast, and she clarifies for us the role of an SLPA, what they can and can’t do, and how they can augment the practice of an SLP. ⠀ In this episode, you will learn about Jillian’s path into speech pathology, about the pros and cons of the SLPA path and why it might – or might not – be a good path for you. If you’re an SLP, you’ll learn how to get the most out of your relationships with your SLPA. I had a great time getting to know Jillian, and I learned that we have a lot in common. Join us!
