Praxis® mistake #2: You’re “Winging It”! We’ve ALL been guilty of this. In fact, it’s even natural for us to “wing it” with our session activities! However, “winging it” is not recommended for your professional certification exam.
Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!
Praxis® mistake #1: You don’t have a set study plan! Having a study plan will keep you on the right track toward your goals! Although it might seem tedious, establish and following a study plan will keep you accountable and ease uncertainty.

Hi everyone! In addition to my work as a cultural competency consultant and show host, I help coach aspiring SLPs and clinical fellows for the Praxis exam! Here are some Praxis® mistakes I notice that I'll cover over the next few days:
* Not having a study plan
* Winging it
* Engaging in negative self-talk
* Avoiding taking practice quizzes
* Having TOO many study materials
I’m eager to share more details about how SLPs can be interventionists for domestic violence survivors. Stay tuned!

Hey #speechies 🗣️ I know that graduate school can seem like a daunting journey but it’s important to remind ourselves that we are intelligent, capable, and amazing in every step of the way. Feeding into any type of negative self-talk will only cause our mental health to suffer so we must actively try to combat those feelings that are rooted in imposter syndrome. It’s easier said than done, so I wanted to share 5 things that are important to remember. Let me now if you want a Part 2!
⭐️5 things to remember in graduate school
1. You already have the skills you need to succeed.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask your questions!
3. The only people who don’t make mistakes, are the people who don’t try.
4. Aim to be a better person than you were yesterday, not in comparison to anyone else.
5. School is just one aspect of your life, it is not everything.

I’m on a road trip and am looking for more podcasts to listen to! What podcasts are you listening to? 🎙️
This is the first SLP platform I know of where the CEO/Founder is willing to connect with us and help our professional development as SLPs. Thank you @Samir for all you do!
Christina Liem, M.M., M.S., CCC-SLP - In this one-hour conversational audio course podcast, Christina draws on her experience as an opera singer and speech-language pathologist to explore muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). She defines MTD and the possible etiologies of this diagnosis.
On yesterday's Pediatric Speech Sister Show LIVE, I spoke with guest Darius L. Thomas, MS CCC-SLP who identifies as a gay SLP and LGBTQIA+ consultant! He educated us on the concept of The Genderbread Man, and further explained how it's most important to connect with a client/student's gender identity rather than their anatomical sex or dating preferences.
