As SLPs, many of us were only taught one way of thinking when it came to working with neurodivergent students. But what if I told you there is another way to approach working with them that could make a world of difference in these students’ lives? 


In this episode, I sat down with Stephanie Boron to talk about how we can flip the script when working with neurodivergent kids. Stephanie shares some fresh insights that not only give these kids better support but also help them rock their goals like never before!


Topics covered in this episode include:
Stephanie’s journey to getting her own neurodivergent diagnosisWhy we all need to stop what we’re doing and learn about neurodivergent-affirming practicesThe types of goals we should be working on when it comes to neurodivergent studentsThe power of honoring our students' communication attempts, no matter what they areCreating a culture in the school system to embrace the changes that need to be madeBooks by neurodivergent authors to share with neurodivergent studentsOne requirement kids are expected to meet at school that is leading to autistic burnoutThe importance of embracing neurodiversity in our speech rooms
It is more important than ever that we get on board with neurodiversity-affirming practices so that we can give our students the support they really need. Tune in to learn how!

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I’m doing something a little different. I’m sharing a replay of a podcast episode I recorded with Kristi and Karen from The Modern Principal Podcast. In this episode, we talked about how SLPs and principals can work better together and what principals should know about SLPs. 


Then we flipped the script and I asked them a couple of questions about what they would like to know from us and ways that we can better work together. This was such a fascinating conversation and I’m so excited to share it with you today! 


Topics covered in this episode include:
What many principals don’t know or understand about SLPsWhy SLPs are such an asset to the school systemThe clinical lens and unique perspective that SLPs bringCharacteristics of a strong relationship with a principal Tips for SLPs that are feeling alone in their community at school The biggest issues school-based SLPs are having and how principals can helpThe principals’ tips for SLPs and how we can work with them betterHow to get your needs met and known in from the very first interview
I’m very curious to hear what you think about how we can work together with principals, so make sure to tune in and share your thoughts with me!
