True Confessions Episode 59: We were not the "ideal" grad student.
This is the first time we've had an anonymous guest in the confessional, who we will call "Molly." Molly shares her experience in grad school, which was not all sunshine and rainbows. Speech-language pathology graduate programs are often rigorous, stressful, and can be down-right difficult.

True Confessions Episode 57: We learned what childhood apraxia of speech was in grad school, but not really how to diagnosis or treat it.
Today we have Noelle Scolieri, M.S. CCC-SLP in the confessional! Noelle is a pediatric speech-language pathologist who holds children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) near and dear to her heart. In today's episode, we discuss how CAS is unique from other speech disorders, including treatment and diagnosis. Though CAS is a speech disorder, it impacts many other areas of a child’s (and their family’s) life.
