Back to Basics Med SLP (B2B Med SLP)

My first order of business is to write a series of posts I mull over every few months or so. The book Scientific Thinking in Speech and Language Therapy by Carmel Lum highly influenced my practice from day one. I yearned for the basis of not just the how and why of what we do but also the what. What principle was I abiding? What impact was I having? What could I do better?

The ultimate goal is to look into the fundamental building blocks of our profession. Think of the Speech Science or the Hearing Science course you took in undergrad or post-bac. Does this course apply to your daily life as an SLP? If it does, to what affect? Do we understand the basis of our profession to allow for higher level learning, problem solving and ultimate understanding? I seek to go back to the beginning and apply these principles onto current treatment and diagnostic measures.

Will this be just a blog? Will I dive into the world of podcasts and IG accounts with cool graphics? Say tuned… To quote Ruth Soukup, “do it scared”. Let’s grow together.
