  • New SLPs: Imposter syndrome and the impact of SLP Influencers

    New SLPs: Imposter syndrome and the impact of SLP Influencers

    Have you ever seen an SLP influencer's post and immediately felt like everything you’re doing is wrong?

    In this episode, I react to a CF-SLP who’s overwhelmed by all the “this is harmful” and “you’re doing it wrong” takes—and unpack what’s actually going on (e.g., algorithms & rage bait, burnout, research moving at a snail’s pace).

    We get into:

    • Why therapy isn’t as black-and-white as the internet makes it seem
    • How to ground yourself using trauma-informed principles (without spiraling)
    • How to support clients without piling on shame—yours or theirs
    • Why feeling unsure doesn’t mean you’re a bad clinician

    No perfect checklists here—just a more realistic, human way to think about your work.

    If you’re deep in imposter syndrome or having anxiety around your entire clinical existence after scrolling… you’re not alone. And you’re probably doing better than you think.

  • Facilitated Communication, Ethics, and Harm: An Ethical Deep Dive (part 2 of Former Facilitator Interview))

    Facilitated Communication, Ethics, and Harm: An Ethical Deep Dive (part 2 of Former Facilitator Interview))
    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode, Janyce and Kim continue their conversation about facilitated communication, “no-touch” letterboards, spelling-to-communicate, and telepathy claims in non-speaking autistic people. Together they unpack how subtle cueing, ideomotor effects, and sleight-of-hand style dynamics can create the powerful illusion of independent communication—even for well-intentioned, reflective professionals and parents. They also explore false abuse allegations, high-control group tactics around FC, what real authorship testing looks like, and why independent AAC access and consent, autonomy, and presuming competence have to stay at the center of ethical practice. This episode is geared toward speech-language pathologists, OTs, educators, psychologists, and caregivers of non-speaking children and adults who want to stay trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and evidence-based while avoiding practices that can unintentionally cause serious harm.

  • Facilitated Communication, Ethics, and Harm: An SLP Interviews a Former Facilitator (Part 1)

    Facilitated Communication, Ethics, and Harm: An SLP Interviews a Former Facilitator (Part 1)
    Jan 17 2026

    In this first part of a two-episode interview, trauma-informed speech-language pathologist Kim Neely speaks with Janice Bon—artist, educator, and former speech clinician—about her firsthand experience using facilitated communication (FC) in the 1990s and her later decision to publicly speak out against it.

    Janice shares how she became involved in FC during a period of rapid change in special education, inclusion, and communication practices, and how the training, messaging, and psychology surrounding facilitated communication shaped her beliefs at the time. Together, Kim and Janice explore how FC was introduced in schools, why it initially felt compelling to helping professionals, and how concerns about authorship, cueing, and ethics emerged through research and real-world consequences.

    This episode examines facilitated communication through a trauma-informed lens—focusing not on blame, but on understanding how well-intentioned clinicians, educators, and caregivers can be drawn to approaches that promise access, competence, and connection. Topics include the history of FC, the evolution into newer facilitator-influenced techniques (such as spelling to communicate and rapid prompting methods), the role of “don’t test, presume competence” messaging, and the ethical implications for SLPs and other helping professionals.

    This conversation is especially relevant for speech-language pathologists, educators, AAC professionals, therapists, and students navigating evidence-based practice, neurodiversity-affirming care, and clinical decision-making in emotionally complex systems.

    Part two will continue the discussion with a deeper focus on ethical implications, current resurgences of facilitator-influenced methods, and how professionals can critically evaluate communication practices while maintaining compassion and humility.
