46: Some Teletherapy Tips and About SLP Life Abroad Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

If you think that being an SLP where you live in the United States is interesting and has challenges, then you will love listening to this episode. My guest, Amanda Blackwell, is here with me to give us a fresh perspective about what it is like to be a speech language pathologist abroad.

After serving for a year as a volunteer speech language pathologist at an orphanage in Guatemala in 2013, Amanda Blackwell lived and worked full-time in the country for over 7 years. Amanda completed a clinical doctorate in speech language pathology and started the official professional association for local Guatemalan speech therapists (SomosTLgt), which has grown to more than 300 members over the past year.

In January 2020, she began working toward a Doctor of Education degree at Murray State University with the goal of opening a university for allied health professions in Guatemala to improve the quality of services across the country.

This was such an interesting episode so be sure to tune in!
