Take Time for You Episode 8

Today we're wrapping up our May book, Take Time for You: Self Care Action Plans for Educators by Tina H. Boogren. We start out the episode by discussing an SLP hot topic: scope of practice vs. scope of competence. Speech therapists are expected to treat a wide range of differences and disorders, from language delays and speech sound disorders to aphasia and swallowing. But are you comfortable admitting when something is beyond your scope of competence? Do you refer out to a specialist, ask for help, or just throw yourself into the research and figure it out when you're faced with a student or client who you don't know how to treat? We give our thoughts on the topic, then we finish up our month of self-care by discussing the conclusion of the book. We got through practical ways to implement self-care strategies for school speech therapists. We hope you enjoyed this month's book!

Next month, we're reading Seeds of Learning by Tera Sumpter, M.A., CCC-SLP. This book was written by an SLP for SLPs, and we're thrilled to dive into it! Every speech therapist working with kids should read this book, because it presents an integrative way of looking at speech, language, and learning delays that you probably haven't heard before. It will change the way you assess your speech therapy students, trust us. Make sure to grab a copy, because we'll be discussing it starting Tuesday, June 6th.
