We convinced our friend Doug Cutler, M.A. CCC-SLP, to jump into the confessional and we are thrilled that he did! In this episode, Sarah confesses that she never wanted to reach out to Doug, who is the AAC specialist in the district because she was embarrassed with how little she knew about AAC. Doug confesses that he would have a hard time going back to being a school-based SLP. And Lisa finally gets to use a new term she coined 😂. This episode is packed full of real stories and tips/strategies for how to get started with AAC, the importance of cueing/promoting, using the curriculum - plus so much more!

We are super excited to have Dr. Meredith Harold in the confessional (virtually) where she confesses that, "As a PhD, I thought SLPs should just know the research, and if they didn't, they weren't trying hard enough." We love her openness and perspective as she realized that this couldn't be further from the truth and shares the struggles of bridging practice and research!
