  • EP 148 - Creating a Culture of Kindness in Speech Therapy

    EP 148 - Creating a Culture of Kindness in Speech Therapy
    Dec 2 2025
    This episode discusses how to create a culture of kindness in speech therapy. It gives an overview of Dr. Bruce Perry's neurosequential model as an evidence-based rationale for the connection between kindness and learning. Next, it emphasizes the importance of prioritizing kindness as soon as we begin working with a student or a group of students. This could involve placing visual kindness cues in the speech room, facilitating kind interactions between students, planning specific kindness-focused activities, reading picture books about kindness, and weaving kindness into familiar activities. The episode closes with encouragement to be kind to ourselves as well.
