About this episode

The episode celebrates National Speech-Language-Hearing Month with guest Elyse Gordon discussing her journey in speech-language pathology.

To all speech-language pathologists, Happy National Speech-Language-Hearing Month! We’re kicking things off by welcoming back one of our favorite guests (and possibly a soon-to-be fill-in co-host), Elyse Gordon, MS, CCC-SLP. While Elyse has joined us on the podcast multiple times, we’ve never taken the time to break down her SLP origin story, and we have questions! Why SLP? Did she ever consider another discipline? Do all SLPs have big personalities? And why are telehealth and SLP such a perfect fit? If you’re looking for answers, that’s exactly why this week’s episode is a must-listen. Let’s officially kick off National Speech-Language-Hearing Month!
