Great resource for aspiring BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs and SLPAs!

Wow! I was referred by Rose to the first episode of her podcast after reaching out. As an RBT and SLPA this podcast will be a fantastic resource for continuing education for me, and already gave straight-to-the-point, valuable information by the first episode. Great job Rose— you are truly an inspiration!

Unicorn?

There are many things, like certain diseases, that are rare but that does not make them “unicorns.” Perhaps the reason SLP/BCBAs are rare is because so few would compromise themselves in such a way.

Informative, valuable, and thoughtful

Rose does an excellent job with this podcast. As a mom of a toddler who struggles slightly with communication, I found this podcast so helpful! There are so many tips on how to engage effectively with those on the spectrum and both my husband and I have found these useful! We also enjoy listening to her other podcasts even if they don’t specifically apply to our son! Rose covers so many topics, and it’s been so much fun learning new things about autism from her and her guests. Highly recommend listening!!

How to Help Students with Apraxia of Speech

I’ll be honest saying initially my main motivation to listen to this podcast was to get a free asha course. I’ve heard Dr. Strand speak a couple of times & didn’t think I’d learn anything new. I missed the deadline to be eligible for the free course but thought I’d listen anyways just to refresh my memory on apraxia. I was so glad I did because it was wonderful!! Episode one was brief but packed with lots of tidbits of important information, some of which I didn’t realize! One of the most amazing takeaways for me was when Dr. Strand talked about how she wasn’t strong in neuro based disorders when she first started out & some days would drive home from work in tears. What?!?! The amazing Dr. Strand once felt like me?! It was so helpful to hear that even just listening to this podcast is a step in the right direction to feeling more confident working with apraxia. I will be listening to episode 2 & tuning into all of the other podcasts too!

Dr Strand part 2

WOW!! What a wealth of knowledge & resources. It gave me pause to think about what she shared. Trying to determine whether a kid has just an articulation issue or if it is apraxia is difficult. Her tips were very informative.

How can I help my Toddler with Expressive language skills #40

I am an SLP who also loves what I do, and I totally resonated with the positive and insightful information presented in this episode. I have shared this particular episode with several of my families, as they were clear, common-sense and easily incorporated into a daily routine. I never get tired of learning- Thanks for what you do!

I really wish we would’ve had podcasts when I was going to school in the ‘90’s! Rose, your podcast helps me learn new things and at the same time confirms that my instincts have been more on than off. Thanks for your work!

Always something to learn

As a school based SLP that works a lot with both autism and CAS— this episode was packed full of great information bits that I knew and needed a reminder and new information that gave me new perspective. I only hope to be as “on it” with my SLP game as Dr Strand when I have 40 years experience!

ABA is abuse.

ABA focuses on compliance and not communication. Recent studies proven it to be ineffective. Autistic adults are speaking out about the trauma ABA causes.

Amazing!!

Autism Outreach Podcast is amazing. Rose is so inspiring and so passionate about working in the field of autism. I loved how she shared her journey in choosing her career. Her knowledge of autism and her experiences she shares are very heartfelt. Rose expresses how important it is to share ideas that work, and how each person involved is so important.

Interesting perspectives & great ideas!

I am an SLP in private practice and the mother of a daughter that has received in home ABA therapy for 13 years. Having the knowledge base and formal training of both fields has to provide such a unique perspective! I love your idea for functional real-life approaches! Also after doing almost a year of teletherapy, I could definitely use some new ideas and you have given me a few to try! I'm looking forward to your upcoming podcasts!
