    If you’re rebranding, refining your message, or building something...this is for you. Because sometimes, even when you know your work matters... people still don’t seem to get what you do.

    💡 This isn’t a script. It’s not a copy-paste formula.

    This is a framework to help you reframe your value clearly...so it actually lands with the people you serve. It’s called the Gas Station Reframe, and it’s inspired by a real story from my daughter.

    That moment taught me 2 things:
    1. People don’t remember the most polished part of your offer.

    2. They remember the most human part. That’s the part that connects and creates value. I will include the link to the framework in the comments.

    Why do SLPs work with Liricare?
    Because they’re ready for something better.
    We’ve met so many therapists who feel undervalued. You’re asked to take on more with less support, less flexibility, and less clarity about where your money is actually going.

    At Liricare, we do things differently.
    You're not just placed in a role. You're treated like a professional building your own path.
    ✔️ Entrepreneurial support, if you want it
    Want to set up your own company? We’ll help you. Prefer staying W2? We’ll make sure it’s on terms that work for you.
    ✔️ Fair, transparent compensation
    We take a fixed, clearly explained markup. You’ll always know what you’re earning and what we’re earning too.
    ✔️ Better rates, by design
    Because we keep things lean, we can offer some of the best rates in the field. If we can pay more, we do.

    We're a therapist-first network built around long-term partnerships, trust, and respect.
    If you're open to exploring what this could look like, we’d love to hear from you.

    HEAD BANGING IN CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

    Head banging is a type of self-injurious behavior commonly seen in some autistic individuals, often used as a way to cope with overwhelming sensory input or emotional distress.

    It can be triggered by sensory overload, frustration, anxiety, pain, or a desire for deep pressure input — making it essential to identify the root cause before addressing the behavior.

    ✨ Let’s talk about:
    Why head banging happens
    What it tells us about the child’s needs

    At Liricare, we’re constantly inspired by the professionals in our community who aren’t just doing the work, but finding new ways to support each other, share their expertise, and reach more students.

    That’s exactly what happened when we sat down with Michelle Posner, M.S., CCC-SLP for a live conversation.

    Michelle is a bilingual speech-language pathologist with nearly two decades of experience supporting multilingual learners. She’s also the founder of Bilingual SLP LLC, where she creates culturally and linguistically responsive therapy materials for SLPs who want to feel more confident when working with diverse students.

    In our live session, Michelle shared:

    - How she began creating therapy materials
    - The power of culturally responsive tools in real-world sessions
    - What made her choose Liricare’s Digital Marketplace as a place to share her work
    - Her honest advice for therapists who are ready to share but don’t know where to start

    “Don't be afraid of working with multi-linguals. The number of kids who need support and the number of bilingual service providers don't match up. I would love to support anyone becoming more comfortable working with children from different backgrounds”

    It was a thoughtful, grounded conversation about what it means to make an impact, without burning out.

    If you’ve been following me here for a while, you already know the kind of work I’m passionate about.

    I’ve shared updates, ideas, and small wins over the years, but today feels a little different.

    This time, I wanted to take a step back and share more about why I’ve been on this journey, and what I’ve learned from the incredible people I’ve had the chance to work with and listen to.

    I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard this sentence:
    “I love the work. But keeping up? That’s a different story.”

    It’s almost a universal language among school-based therapists.
    SLPs and OTs, you know exactly what I mean.

    Documentation piling up.
    Sessions back-to-back.
    IEPs.
    Meetings you didn’t even know about until someone pulls you out of your room.

    Every time I sat with a therapist and listened to their day-to-day struggles, I couldn’t help but think of my own family, people close to me who are SLPs themselves.
    I saw how they came home exhausted, not because of their students (they love their students), but because of everything else.

    And honestly? That hit me hard.

    Talented, passionate therapists doing everything right, yet stretched so thin that burnout wasn’t just a risk, it felt inevitable.

    That’s what sparked my drive to build something different.

    Not just another tool.
    Not just another platform full of shiny features.

    We focused on one thing: respect.
    Respect for therapists’ time, their energy, their expertise.

    We wanted to give back a sense of control, to cut through the noise and let therapists focus on what matters most: their students.

    So if you’re reading this and feeling like you’re carrying too much right now…
    Please know: you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

    The system isn’t built to make it easy for you. But I believe it can change.
    With better tools. With smarter systems. And with real conversations that keep pushing things forward.

    That’s been my mission, and it’s far from over.

    Here’s to doing the work we love, without losing ourselves along the way.

    Hey everyone. On May 8th, we’re going live with Anu Upadhyaya, Director of School Services at Liricare, and Michelle Posner, M.S., CCC-SLP, a member our community!

    Michelle is an experienced bilingual SLP, resource creator, and someone who’s deeply committed to supporting multilingual learners. We’ll be talking about how she started making her own therapy tools, why she chose to share them on Liricare, and what she’s learned about making a bigger impact without burning out.

    We're having a relaxed, real conversation between two people who care about this work and the community we’re part of.

    If you’re an SLP, OT, or educator who creates your own resources or supports bilingual students, we think you’ll really enjoy this.

    In the world of special education, communication is the foundation for meaningful growth. ✨

    Recently, I worked with a vibrant 5-year-old student named Adam. Although he could vocalize words, he struggled with purposeful communication. His needs for toys, food, and assistance often went unmet simply because he lacked an effective way to express them.

    Through the use of Functional Communication Training (FCT), we introduced structured, meaningful alternatives to his communication attempts. By teaching Adam simple, functional phrases paired with visual supports, we opened a door, empowering him to replace frustration with connection.

    Functional communication isn't just a strategy; it's a critical step toward autonomy, dignity, and learning.

    Today, I’m sharing a glimpse into how FCT can transform a child's world, one request at a time.

    I've recently published a new blog post reflecting on the often-invisible challenges our students navigate daily. Drawing from my personal experience with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) issues, I explore how physical discomfort, sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and other factors can significantly impact a student's ability to learn and thrive. This reflection underscores the critical importance of empathy and a holistic understanding of our students' experiences in educational settings.

    "bilingual children talk later"

    I hear this ALL the time and it is NOT true! Early language milestones are similar for bilingual and monolingual children. If a child is not meeting these milestones, you should talk to a speech-language pathologist!

    What questions do you have about bilinguals?

    Why Is He Always Throwing Things

    When I first met Ayaan (name changed), a 5-year-old autistic boy in my classroom, his days were filled with unpredictability, for both of us. He would run to the door multiple times, throw toys across the room, and burst into giggles at seemingly random moments. Verbal instructions didn’t land. He seemed inattentive, overwhelmed, and unreachable.

    One morning, as I was picking up the same toy he had thrown for the fourth time, I paused and asked myself: "What if this isn’t misbehavior? What if this is a cry for structure?"

    That simple question changed everything.

    We started small: a visual schedule with just four steps, a consistent arrival routine, and movement breaks between tasks. Within weeks, he began checking the visual chart on his own. The throwing lessened. He stayed longer at the table. And for the first time, he waited in line during snack time.
    It wasn’t magic. It was predictability, and it made his world feel safer.
