I Have a Masters Degree in Speech Therapy, Now I Don’t See Any Clients – Why I Quit Clinic Work

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.
