  • Ridiculous “inclusive” language

    I have listened to and learned a lot from Asha voices for years. As of January 15, 2026 I am no longer subscribing to this podcast. I condemn the use of “chest feeding” as a blanket term used to describe breast-feeding women. I understand that this movement is not unique to ASHA however I cannot quietly consume media from outlets that use this type of language.

    First of all, this reduces the role of a woman in nearly all areas: biologically societally, spiritually, physically emotionally, etc. ... more

  • Glorifying Unmanageable Caseloads

    All respect to Christina, no SLP should have a caseload of 100 and ASHA should be ashamed to broadcast without advocating for real change in the schools.

  • Out of touch

    A podcast about how to successful manage 100 kids on a school caseload shows how out of touch ASHA is. Do better to lower our caseloads, not promote a standard that could never be met ethically. Shame on you ASHA

  • Propaganda at Its Finest

    ASHA is not here to support SLPs and AuDs; they are focused on sustaining a business model that prioritizes the interests of those at the top while marginalizing those at the bottom. They offer neither meaningful support nor viable solutions. Instead, they push narratives that serve their own agenda, keeping clinicians trapped. DO NOT engage with this podcast until ASHA provides the real solutions that clinicians need and deserve.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Do Tech and Access Fit Into MTSS?
Q: For school-based SLPs, how does MTSS relate to workload and caseload? Can it create some relief in this area?
Adopting MTSS with a prevention-focused approach can save time in the long run by embedding supports in Tier 1 and leveraging collaboration with other educators, thereby allowing SLPs to focus higher-intensity efforts on the students who most need them. Small, sustainable steps and avoiding trying to do everything at once are key to making MTSS manageable and effective.
AAC Researchers Discuss Autism, Accessibility, and ‘Expensive Speech’
Q: How is the lab incorporating internal speech experiences into their work?
The team is surveying autistic speaking adult AAC users, using the Communication Participation Item Bank to assess how internal speech states affect participation, and gathering qualitative data to understand lived experiences and inform clinical practices.
AAC Researchers Discuss Autism, Accessibility, and ‘Expensive Speech’
Q: What does participatory research mean to you?
