It's not every day you get to ask your questions directly to the co-founders of SLP Toolkit and the creators of SLP Summit. For this month's Office Hours, that's exactly what you get to do!
If you missed their old podcast, you don't want to miss Office Hour today with Lisa & Sarah. Lisa is going to talk a bit more about her 90-minute pre-recorded course from SLP Summit. There are sure to be loads of laughs and memories!
Aleisha joined us from Australia at 5 am her time for her live SLP Summit presentation!! When we asked her about the experience, we were happy to hear her response: It was fantastic! Loved every moment and still on a high!
We just loved having an SLP and SLPA team up to share strategies on AAC implementation. We asked, and Becky had a few additional thoughts to share.
The best time to improve your workflow isn't when you're already overwhelmed-it's before. Join Lisa and Sarah for this month's Office Hour as they explore how proactive systems can make the school year feel more manageable.
Like Monday and Tuesday - Day 3 was jam-packed at SLP Summit! Here's what you missed, and why you'll want to catch the replays.
"Incorporating Health Literacy into Speech Therapy" was presented by Jackie Rodriguez at 5 pm, and it was fantastic!
SLP Summit Day 1 Takeaways: AAC is so much more satisfying when we're having fun! Practice doesn't make perfect; practice makes permanent.
Every piece of content published here is designed with one question behind it: what does someone need to actually do something with this?
SLP Summit opens the door. What you do next is where the real work happens -and where the real growth lives.
In 2024, I was asked to return to SLP Summit, and this time I cried.
Every year, the same question floats through the Summit community: "How do you decide what to cover and who will present?" The answer starts with you!
SLP Summit
There are conferences that inform you. And then there are the ones that change you.
SLP Summit
Bill showed up, delivered one of the most memorable courses in SLP Summit history, and walked away without selling a single thing. And people were furious!!!
SLP Summit
When someone asks me (Sarah) to name the courses or the moments or the people who have stood out over nine years of SLP Summit, my brain immediately starts listing names and I immediately start panicking that I'm going to leave someone out.
SLP Summit
What if one hour of your time could reach two million children?
Clinical
Dismissal might be the most under discussed clinical decision in our field. We talk endlessly about evaluation, goal writing, and therapy approaches but talk far less about how to know when a student is ready to graduate from speech.
Year end
If you've ever submitted a perfectly clean data sheet for a student and still walked out of the IEP meeting feeling like the data didn't capture them, you're not alone.
Office Hours
Our latest Office Hours session with Nikki Hunjan was amazing! We explored real-world challenges and shared ideas around supporting students in meaningful ways, navigating implementation barriers, and finding strategies that work in the realities of busy school and therapy settings.
Year end
Have you ever dismissed a student for summer break with a thorough and well-planned home program packet only to find it untouched eight weeks later? Before you write anything, ask the family two questions!

Self-care
Burnout has stages, symptoms, and a recovery arc. The sooner we name it, the sooner we can treat it.
Office Hours
Show up, an authority on a topic drops the systems and tools that have been working, you grab the ones that fit your caseload, and you walk out with two or three things you can actually use!
Year end
Picture it: it's late August/ early September, you've just walked back into your therapy room after 8 weeks away, and you immediately become furious with the version of yourself who left it that way. Here are the five moves we make before we leave for summer. None of them require a Pinterest board.
