Leadership Development Programs within ASHA with Vicky R. Deal-Williams & Andrea M. Falzarano

Guests: Vicki R. Deal-Williams, MA, CCC-SLP, FASAE, CAE and Andrea M. Falzarano, CAE. For Better Speech and Hearing Month, the First Bite podcast could think of no better way to celebrate this, than by holding crucial conversations around leadership within our profession. Why? Because we have all witnessed and experienced firsthand deficits within our profession. These can include unreasonable expectations for productivity and caseloads, limited access to speech-generating augmentative and alternative communication devices, the scope of practice encroachment from non-licensed individuals, and the list could go on, but we will stop it there. Why? it is what you do with that next breath that makes the difference. It’s that next breath that drives change in our field. It’s what you do with that next breath that makes a lasting impact on future colleagues and their patients. Why not learn about ASHA’s unique leadership training opportunities from THE Leaders themselves? In this hour, we hope to inspire you with wisdom from the council of elders, from the greats in our fields, to move the needle of our profession forward, one conversation at a time.
