In this video, I discuss my career shift from clinic-based therapy to parent education. Key points include:

  • Challenges in Speech Therapy: Reflecting on the limitations of traditional clinic work.
  • Issues with the System: Therapy outcomes are often confined to the clinic, without lasting impact outside.
  • Parent Coaching vs. Traditional Therapy: Parents should be equipped to foster functional language at home, where real learning takes place.
  • Real-Life Stories: Sharing experiences that highlight the value of parent involvement.
  • Critique of the Therapy Industry: Emphasis on a gap in how therapy is delivered, calling for a more holistic approach.
  • Personal Reflections: Thoughts on shifting away from direct therapy and future plans for empowering parents.
  • Free Resources: Offering alternative support for parents to continue their child's language development at home.
