We're baaaaaack! In October we're reading The Heartbeat of Speech-Language Pathology by Phuong Lien Palafox. This book is written BY a speech-language pathologist FOR speech-language pathologists, and we're loving it. This week we cover the prologue and chapters one and two. We start out by discussing Phuong's family history and her journey to becoming an SLP. We cover the importance of knowing and reflecting on WHY you became an SLP. We discuss the good, the bad, and the reason when it comes to speech-language pathology. And finally, we go over the three tiers of evidence-based practice. The rest of the book will be focused on the importance of connection and honoring the values and perspectives of our clients and their families. We can't wait to share this special book with you.

This week we're wrapping up Lisa Murphy on Being Child Centered. We start with a conversation about Adrianne starting the new school year as a teletherapist (very demure, very mindful). Then we get into the recent news about Better Speech's AI speech therapist, Jessica. Will artificial intelligence replace speech therapists? Not likely. Then we cover the conclusion of Lisa Murphy, going through her action plan for becoming truly child centered. We're not reading a book in September because we're taking a little break, but tune in next week to hear our interview with occupational therapist Katie Hamlin Pacheco!
