Dr. D. Seles Gadson and Angie Cauthorn

In this episode, we talk about all things Speech-Language Pathology. According to the 2022 US NEWS, Speech Language Pathologists rank #10 in the 100 Best Jobs. We agree! 

Speech-language pathologists (SLP) work with adults with aphasia to restore communication and quality of life.  Are you making your clients feel uncomfortable or more emotional? Dr. Seles provides master clinician tips for seasoned and early career SLPs. Angie shares challenges with post-stroke aphasia including information overload. You'll hear what makes a good SLP and what Angie wishes SLPs would stop doing.

Is there an insurance influence on receiving speech therapy services? We settle the debate on which rehabilitation therapy is the most important and call attention to the way SLPs are treated in the rehabilitation world. 

Finally, we address the melanin in the room.  Dr. Seles is the first Black SLP Angie met. Does physician-race concordance impact therapy?
