Unleashing Creativity as an Adult Speech Language Pathologist

Unleashing Creativity as an Adult Speech Language Pathologist

Some Speech Language Pathology (SLP) students feel that entering into the Adult based SLP world doesn't allow space for creativity or "fun" compared to the Pediatric SLP world. This could lead to fewer graduates applying to specific work settings or developing niches within the Adult SLP sector. This presentation seeks to break down potential career barriers by helping SLPs gain perspective of the creative and FUNctional ideas that can be applied to clinical care when working with adult populations.
