        CSP 054: Linda D'Onofrio is on a Mission

        LInda D'Onofrio is a speech-language pathologist in Portland Oregon specializing in oral myofunctional disorders (OMD's). I first came across her name about 3 years ago (likely thanks to Robyn Merkel-Walsh). Recently I've taken two or three of her online courses and have been smitten by her willingness to speak honestly (and with a sharp wit) about the problems in our profession.

        • Information About the Show

          • 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!

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

          •  Please don't assume that because I cover a particular topic or individual 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 has to say.

           

          1. Why don’t you put more episodes out on a regular basis? My podcast is a part-time passion and it's a lot of work. For every hour of recorded audio, about 4 hours of editing and other post-production work are required.

           

          2. Do you feel a responsibility to champion evidence-based practice (EBP)? Yes, with a 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. It is better to justify why you are doing a particular intervention (backed by a theoretical foundation) than to do something just because it was cited in a single study or because that is what the majority of people are doing. 

           

          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 show your love: 

           

          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?

           

           

          Disclaimer

          Conversations in Speech Pathology is a podcast meant to provide an ongoing dialogue about topics important to the practice of speech-language pathology.

        • About the host...

          I am now in my 24th year as a speech-language pathologist. I began my career working with adults (acute/subacute, skilled nursing facility, trach/vent hospitals). Around 2000, I transitioned towards pediatrics and never looked back. I currently work in a school setting full-time (serving children with moderate-severe disabilities) while continuing a private practice part-time.

          That’s the short version at least…
