Vancouver. I am coming for you. 🙌
I am so genuinely excited about October 28th and 29th in Burnaby – and I've been meaning to say that out loud for a while now.
Autism Strategies and Neurodiversity Affirming Practices is filled with practical strategies for both new grads and seasoned clinicians. We're going to spend real time together unpacking what it actually looks like to lead with strengths, to move away from compliance-based practice, and to ask not what's wrong with this child but what's possible for this child. That shift changes everything – how you assess, how you plan, how you show up in the room with kids and families.
As both a parent to an autistic son and an SLP, I share evidence-based strategies informed by both lived experience and clinical practice. My son has always been my greatest teacher. 💙
And this professional development isn't just for SLPs. I mean that. The OTs, PTs, educators, social workers, psychologists, and administrators in the room are just as important as the speech-language pathologists. Autistic kids don't live in silos and they shouldn't be supported in silos either. When the whole team is in the room together, something different happens. Come with your people.
One thing I want you to know: every ticket includes a Night 1 meet & greet, and I don't take that lightly. That time with you – not on a stage, just in a room together – is honestly one of my favorite parts of any event. I'll be there, fully present, and I want to meet you.
Here's my honest heads up: the last SoundLand event sold out, and we're less than 12 weeks away. I'm not saying that to pressure you – I'm saying it because I've watched people miss events they really wanted to attend and I don't want that to be you. If you've been sitting on this, now is the time.
