The Basics

1. Conversations in Speech Pathology (CSP) is a podcast about issues related to the clinical practice of speech pathology. My mission is for the show to be: Interesting, Thought Provoking, & Fun!

2. My interests are primarily Autism, AAC, and Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). I will continue to cover other areas as well from time to time.

3. Please don't assume that because I cover a particular topic or individual that I automatically endorse everything that is said on the show. I want to hear from a variety of voices and I may or may not agree with everything a particular guest might say.

Working FAQ (Updated Summer 2021)

1. Why don’t you put more episodes out on a regular basis? My podcast is a part-time passion of mine and it's a lot of work. For every hour of audio I record, there are about 4 hours of editing and other post-production work that need to get done. There are also a lot of other speech podcasts these days- I'm really impressed!

2. Do you feel a responsibility to champion evidence-based practice (EBP)? Yes, with a slight caveat. There are a number of issues in speech pathology where evidence for or against a particular intervention is lacking. Moreover, I'm finding more and more these days a serious lack of nuance and openness in certain corners of our profession. I have always believed that it is better to justify why you are doing a particular intervention than to do something just because it was cited in a study or because someone else is doing it.

3. I really like the podcast. How can I support what you’re doing? I’m glad you asked! There are 3 ways you can help me out:

1. Leave a review in Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to this show.

2. Spread the word! Share the show with a colleague/friend.

3. Perhaps you might benefit from my new digital products?
