Today we have the incredible Erin McCarthy on today! We discussed oral care and NVHAP. This sounds super simple, I get it! However, this is so important and one of those things we don't learn in-depth in graduate school. Now we have people dedicating their lives and research to this super important first step! Have you heard of NVHAP? Nope, I hadn't either.. (can you guess who works primarily with pediatrics?) Take a listen to learn more about this and learn from this incredible leader in our field.. did I mention she is affiliated with many organizations, universities, and starting her own business! This SLP does more in a day than I most likely do in a month.. check her out!

Today we sit down with Leanna Vollintine for PART 2! Part Two is all about what chronic pain is and how it affects those with the diagnosis in their day to day. We also discuss how this can affect running a business. Our biggest take away from the episode is to have open communication with parents/families that you work with to remind them that you are a person as well! Take that time off, run a little late, take a nap.. but don't feel bad about it (or do it often)! So whether you are a chronic pain sufferer or not, this episode will be helpful to you starting a business :)

Remember this is PART 2, so go listen to PART 1 for more of Leanna and her amazing personality!

Today we sit down with Leanna Vollintine! We discussed almost everything, so we made two episodes out of it :) Part One is all about building rapport with families and clients! We discuss great functional activities in and out of therapy as well as how to incorporate the family/caregivers into our therapy to help with carryover. (Also when you should not be sending activities home). Leanna has so many great ideas for how to make parents more comfortable, aware of what our services entail, and the importance of home practice!

Remember this is PART 1, so stay tuned for PART 2 next time! You will learn about her experience as a business owner and how chronic pain affects everyday tasks. She brings so much insight and great business tips for anybody!
