SLP Toolkit Summer Camp: Bridging the Gap Between General Education and Special Education in Times of Change

True Confessions with Lisa & Sarah

This episode is part of SLP Toolkit's Summer Camp, which includes 8 courses free to SLP Toolkit subscribers through August 31, 2023 found here: https://www.bethebrightest.com/conferences/summer-camp.

Today we have Kami Mueller Caiola in the confessional, a school-based SLP working in a Montessori Charter School in Washington D.C. Kami shares her journey from graduation to now, which spanned two moves and the COVID pandemic. She discusses some key lessons learned during this time, including active listening, validating others' feelings, agreeing to disagree, and being involved in your local BOE (Board of Education). Kami also brings up the point of honoring our perspective as SLPs and not giving in to imposter syndrome. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! Resources:
