Show notes

This podcast episode is all about how NOT to use digital resources. I wanted to mention that this isn't the first time we have talked about this topic on the podcast. In 2019, I recorded an episode called "How Not to Use Technology in Speech Therapy." I'll be covering some of the same themes today, and expanding on some of the ideas that were mentioned in that episode. I'll also bring some new suggestions into the mix.

EP 117 - Building Confidence with Lateral Lisp Treatment Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we'll be talking about lateral lisps. A lateral lisp affects sounds that require centralized airflow, like /s/ and /z/. When a client exhibits a lateral lisp, the airflow isn't centralized - it's lateralized. This results in a distortion that causes the sound to be "slushy" or "mushy."

EP 116 - How to Integrate Virtual Reality into Speech Therapy Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, I will be talking about how to integrate virtual reality, or VR, into speech therapy. Essentially, VR involves using computer technology to create a simulated 3D environment. In general, I think VR can be incredibly useful for many different scenarios in speech therapy. It's especially helpful in terms of generalization of skills, because it allows the student or client to have experiences that go beyond the walls of the school or clinic setting, although of course they're not physically going anywhere at all.

EP 115 - The Scary Meeting Survival Guide Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

In today's episode, I'll be sharing some of my favorite tips for surviving scary meetings. Meetings can be especially tricky, because they're so time-consuming, and often we don't control the scheduling. Meetings are also challenging for those of us who are introverts or struggle with anxiety. There are also some meetings that are just rough, no matter how confident or extroverted we are. Those are the types of meetings we'll be talking about today. We can't always change the meetings, but we can change our experience of them. Go here to access the show notes: https://bit.ly/TSSEP15

EP 113 - How Mindfulness Can Make You a Better SLP May 16, 2023

Show notes

What is mindfulness? How can mindfulness make you a better SLP? According to UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, mindfulness is simply "paying attention to our present moment experience, with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with what is." In this episode, I'll discuss what mindfulness is and isn't and share some easy ways to incorporate mindfulness into our lives. I'll also look at some exciting research related to mindfulness and cover a few ways that mindfulness can help us become better SLPs. Go here to access the show notes: https://bit.ly/TSSEP113
