I just received my first ever student who uses an Eye Gaze device! If anyone has any strategies for this type of client please let me know!

Technology is making an impact on the discipline of Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), from language therapy applications that guide users through exercises to AI-powered systems that analyse speech patterns and provide real-time feedback. These breakthroughs carry a lot of potential but also have ethical considerations.

Traditional speech therapy is usually provided one-on-one with a speech-language pathologist (SLP). AI-based speech therapy applications and games, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly popular as a means to augment traditional therapy or give therapy to those who do not have access to an SLP.

Hello everyone! I like many of my peers are very interested in AAC. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to become an AAC "specialist." Are there certifications or credentials we need? I would love to share your suggestions and knowledge with my audience as well!

Thank you!

Let's show them why we need SLPs in these conversations!

📢 A Call to Speech-Language Pathologists

As champions of communication, SLPs are uniquely positioned to spearhead accessibility initiatives in diverse spaces. From implementing AAC systems and advocating for closed captioning to enhancing literacy support and ensuring accessible telecommunication, your role is fundamental.

However, the journey towards comprehensive accessibility doesn't stop at our profession. 🌎 It's essential that we continually learn from our counterparts in other fields, understand their best practices, and share insights.

We invite SLPs to join the conversations at the Exceptional Alliances FREE Epic Virtual Accessibility Event.

This isn't just another webinar; it's a collaborative space for all professionals to:
✨ Share both professional and personal experiences related to accessibility
✨ Learn from the expertise of other professions
✨ Discuss innovative solutions and strategies

The cross-pollination of ideas and experiences will not only enrich our practice but will further solidify our collective commitment to making the world more accessible for everyone.

When we bridge accessibility gaps, we're not just enhancing communication; we're fostering inclusivity, understanding, and empowerment.

Register free now and let's champion accessibility together!

If you're all about tech and speech therapy, I had a great interview with Barbara Fernandez (aka Geek Barbara) about entrepreneurship. She has her own business called Smarty Symbols that's helped SLPs across the globe! Check out the episode on youtube.com/@pediatricspeechsisternetwork
