HERE ARE SOME REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERING OUR CLIENT’S PERSPECTIVES:
- How does your client/student and their family feel about the communication disorder?
- How does culture affect how they respond to diagnosis and treatment?
- Is there a way to close the communication gap and build confidence in the treatment process?
- Have they had negative experiences with previous schools or service providers?

These critical reflection questions will help you make better connections with parents and families.

How are you improving your cultural responsiveness this year? i'm at Barnes and Noble and seeing a plethora of books on Native American culture in the Social Sciences section! Let me know if you recommend any books!

If you are a BIPOC SLP, Iit's important to utilize your social network. Despite being a minority, members of the speech community of color should know that they are not alone. Many practicing speech pathologists are thrilled to have more people of color joining the profession, and attending conventions such as NBASLH or ASHA can provide an opportunity to connect with other members of minoritized groups.

I have a few kids on my caseload who I feel have ADHD or are neurodivergent in some other way! In your experience and education, how have you found ADHD impacts speech and language?

How can we support parents with disabilities?

I'll be meeting with Dr. Robin L. Dodds, an associate professor who specializes in early childhood education to unpack this question.

If you don't have any Valentine's Day plans, we'd love for you to join us this Wednesday on the Pediatric Speech Sister Show Network on Youtube and LinkedIn!

We go LIVE on 2/14/24 at 4pm PT/6pm CT/7pm ET

Dr. Dodds is also a parent of children with disabilities and we'll get to hear her perspective navigating the SPED system despite her own expertise!

What questions would you like to ask her? Let us know in the comments!

Speech Pathologists can greatly benefit from understanding the power of their subconscious minds. 95% of our thoughts and behaviors are ruled by the subconscious minds. Subconscious mind reprogramming can help prevent burnout, release implicit biases and phobias, and create a better quality of life for clinicians.

As SLPs we should take our mental health seriously. Without a regulated mind, we can't possibly serve our clients to the best of our abilities. Here are some tips I recommend to Praxis Preppers, and I think certified SLPs can benefit from these tips too!

1. Notice the signs and seek help when needed.
2. Know you're not alone.
3. Practice self-love.
4. Seek professional help.
5. Notify your support system.
