This is part one of a two-part conversation. Part two will be released in April 2026.

Multilingual Evaluations: Elevate Your Assessments Using Converging Evidence with Emily Sweet

Guest: Emily Sweet, MS, CCC-SLP Earn 0.1 ASHA CEUs for this episode with Speech Therapy PD: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/courses/multilingual-evaluations In this episode of School of Speech, host Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, is joined by Emily Sweet, MS, CCC-SLP, to tackle one of the most complex and high-stakes areas of school-based practice: evaluating multilingual children with accuracy and confidence. Designed for both bilingual and monolingual SLPs, this conversation introduces the converging evidence framework proposed by Castilla-Earls et al. (2020) and explains how multiple sources of data work together to support sound clinical decision-making. Rather than relying on a single test score, Carolyn and Emily walk through how to build a comprehensive evaluation protocol that reflects real-world language use. Topics include ethnographic interviewing, language sampling, nonword repetition tasks, and dynamic assessment, with clear explanations of how each contributes unique and meaningful information. The episode also addresses ethical and effective approaches for monolingual SLPs who are assessing bilingual or English learner students when a bilingual clinician is not available. By the end of the episode, listeners will leave with concrete tools, resources, and strategies they can immediately apply to strengthen multilingual evaluations and confidently distinguish language difference from language disorder. About the Guest: Emily is a bilingual SLP and a clinical associate professor at the Institute for Speech-Language Pathology at Widener University. She earned her MS in Speech Language Pathology with a bilingual extension from Teachers College, Columbia University, and worked for 15 years, first as a hospital-based SLP and then as a school-based SLP. Emily currently specializes in clinical education and issues related to culturally responsive care in pediatric and adult populations.

ORP: The Missing Piece to Remediating Speech & Facilitating Habituation with Tricia H. Rogers

Guest: Tricia H. Rogers, MS, CCC-SLP Earn 0.1 ASHA CEU for this episode with Speech Therapy PD: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/courses/orp-the-missing-piece Every moving body part has an ideal place to rest when not in use, and the moving mouth parts are no different. In this episode, Char Boshart, MA, CCC-SLP, is joined by Tricia H. Rogers, MS, CCC-SLP, to explore Oral Resting Posture (ORP) and why it is often the missing piece in remediating speech and supporting carryover for preschool and school-age children. Char and Tricia define a desirable oral resting posture and highlight common characteristics of undesirable ORPs frequently observed in young learners. They explain how ORP positions the lips, tongue, and jaw in an efficient operating zone that supports stability and movement for accurate sound production and connected speech. The episode also provides practical, developmentally appropriate ways to introduce ORP concepts to preschoolers and school-age children, with clear expectations for therapy. Char and Tricia share ORP techniques that build self-monitoring, improve muscle endurance, and support habituation so gains extend beyond structured practice and into everyday communication. About the Guest: Tricia H. Rogers, MS-CCC, is an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with nearly 30 years of experience in the field. For over two decades, she has specialized in orofacial myofunctional disorders, working with children to improve their breathing, oral rest posture, and overall oral function. Alongside running a private practice, Tricia mentors, presents, and consults with professionals nationwide. She is also the creator and author of Miss Tongue and Friends—a children’s book series that makes myofunctional concepts simple, fun, and engaging. These books are now being used by therapists, educators, and families as practical resources to support healthy oral development and lifelong habits. Through her Miss Tongue and Friends books, Tricia is bringing these important skills to children around the world in a way that feels playful, approachable, and empowering.
