For episode 195 of De Facto Leaders, I share a Q & A session where I talk through ways to navigate evaluations; including considering a test’s psychometric properties, how detailed it gets, and how to supplement with non-standardized protocols.
In the second half, I talked about SLP career transitions and things to think about if you want to explore other ways to use your clinical credentials or are considering getting a doctorate or additional certifications.
*This discussion on career pathways is also relevant for other clinical disciplines outside of speech-language pathology.
I also talk about how to do “micro-experiments” that help you build skills and explore other ways to use your skills and build up a portfolio of experience you can use to transition to the next stage of your career.

This Q & A session was done in the member’s group for Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs build a system for language therapy. You can learn more about Language Therapy Advance Foundations here.
