Chelsea Cornejo, M.S. CCC-SLP is in the confessional with us chatting with us about best practices in serving families and students. Chelsea is a bilingual SLP based in Austin, TX who is passionate about equity in education and about empowering students and their families. Much of what we discuss is related to working with bilingual students but there are so many takeaways of how these same practices can apply to everyone we work with! Just like her SLP Summit presentation, this episode is left us feeling better informed and inspired!
