What being aN SLP of the 21st Century means to me:
-
Incorporate new technology: ipad, sEMG, PENS, Computer programs/websites
-
Work in tandem with other professionals: social workers, O.T, P.T, other SLP's, Teachers(reg/spec.).
-
Be supportive of other cultures and belifs: Being open to new ideas, being non bias towards differences.
-
Parent/Family Coaching and empathy: incorporating families, having sympathy and understanding
-
Sharing of knowledge: Sharing resources and ideas, knowing when to ask for help, collaborate with others on ideas/techniques.
-
Multimodal teaching techniques- verbal, tactile, visual and auditory cues.

I've worked across the lifespan, with multiple disabilties that ranged from mild-moderate and had to collobrate with other professionals in order for client to reach their highest maximum potential.
