- Great PD and expands my knowledge beyond my everyday practice
I love learning more about topics and areas of speech pathology that I don’t work in. That information has proved helpful so many times, when I’m asked or needing to direct someone to a service within Speech pathology. Eg I work with paediatrics, but needed to direct someone to services for adults, or brain injury, adult literacy, etc.

Australia3 years ago - Scripted episodes
Some episodes are fantastic and highly informative. Other episodes are hard to listen to as it is very obvious that speakers are reading a script. I would highly suggest prompting speakers to talk naturally as listening to people read a pre written script is not enjoyable.
