  • 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.

SLP Hallie Sherman Shares Ways to Keep Older Students Engaged
Q: Why do you find it's important to teach things differently to maintain that engagement?
Repeating classroom methods that have not worked can lead students to shut down. Sherman recommends using formats such as pictures, videos, and podcasts, and adjusting material to a suitable reading level, length, and complexity.
SLP Hallie Sherman Shares Ways to Keep Older Students Engaged
Q: What's different about working with these students?
Older students are more conscious of their challenges and of receiving extra support, and may be less willing to leave class for speech. They also have more classes, assignments, and missed work to manage, so they need greater motivation and buy-in.
Discussions of New Research on Gene Therapy and Mild Hearing Loss
Q: What role do audiologists anticipate in the future with gene therapy?
Audiologists are expected to expand into collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams with genetic counselors and ENT specialists to identify candidates, manage treatment, and follow long-term outcomes, including counseling families about realistic expectations and potential limitations of gene therapies.
Discussions of New Research on Gene Therapy and Mild Hearing Loss
Q: How is the gene therapy delivered and what is the current status of the trial?
The therapy is injected directly into the inner ear through the round window membrane during surgery; enrollment is complete for the initial cohort and participants are being followed for up to five years to assess long-term safety and durability of hearing recovery.
Discussions of New Research on Gene Therapy and Mild Hearing Loss
Q: What did people hear before lacking gene therapy intervention, and what changed after the trial?
Participants with congenital otoferlin-related hearing loss were severely to profoundly deaf before treatment; after the gene therapy, many experienced rapid improvement in hearing and some achieved near-normal hearing levels, with the trajectory being gradual rather than instantaneous.
