Creating equitable systems for K-12 math (with Jonathan Regino)
August 02, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBDo flashcards help improve basic numeracy skills? Should we use calculators as a special education accommodation? How many years of math do we really need to take in high school? I invited math curriculum expert Jonathan Regino to episode 123 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to answer some of these questions. With the Science of Reading on the forefront in many districts, we’re starting to have a better understanding of the scope and sequence of English and Language Arts; b...
Executive functioning for college students: Beyond checklists and planners (with Jill Fahy)
July 26, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBWhat if young adults are still prompt-dependent when they go away to college? Or what if they and their parents aren’t aware of how much support they’re actually getting? On top of that, how can professionals navigate the complexity of supporting language and executive functioning (or knowing when to address which skills)? I invited Jill Fahy to episode 122 of the De Facto Leaders Podcast to answer some of these questions. Jill is a licensed speech-language pathologist and p...
Do we all have an inner voice (and if not, should we try to develop one)?
July 19, 2023 12:00 - 47 minutes - 46.3 MBIn different discussion groups, I’ve heard the claim that up to 50% of people don’t have an inner voice. Since much of my work has focused on metacognition and language, I wanted to devote an episode to discussing some common questions that come up regarding this topic. That’s why in episode 121 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast, I discussed the following: ✅Is internal language the best tool to use for reasoning and completing complex tasks? ✅Are there times it makes sense to...
Career transitions and improve for educators and therapists (with Aimee Davis)
July 12, 2023 12:00 - 52 minutes - 37.9 MBIf you’ve ever thought about leaving the school systems, you may have wondered what options you have as far as jobs go. Maybe you feel burnt out, or maybe you just want a change and don’t want to walk away from education completely. I understand this dilemma on a deep level, so that’s why I invited Aimee Davis to the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about how she used her teaching and improv skills to find a fulfilling job outside the school systems. Aimee Davis is the Senior ...
Career transitions and improv for educators and therapists (with Aimee Davis)
July 12, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 39.9 MBIf you’ve ever thought about leaving the school systems, you may have wondered what options you have as far as jobs go.

Teacher-centered leadership (with Dr. Chris Jones)
July 05, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBMany people who are involved in K-12 education want to be “student-centered”, but what if that’s not the most effective place for leaders to put their efforts? I wanted to discuss this topic with Dr. Chris Jones, who shares why school leaders can create a bigger impact by supporting teachers and those working directly with students. Dr. Chris Jones has been an educator in Massachusetts for 22 years. His experience in the classroom ranged from 8th - 11th grade working in an urban ...
Coaching aspiring leaders in school turn-around and community outreach (with Edward Gordon II)
June 28, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBEvidence-based practices and high-quality curriculum are important, but they aren’t the ONLY things school leaders need to think about. We can’t effectively serve students unless we understand their community, which means we have to think beyond the classroom or therapy room. That’s why I invited Edward Gordon, II, former principal and CEO of Gordon Leadership Academy, LLC to the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about school turnaround and coaching within the education system. ...
Post-traumatic growth and 1-minute interventions (with Dr. Mike Gaskell)
June 21, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 43.1 MBThere’s a lot of talk about risk factors in education; but not as much focus on protective factors. That’s why I invited Dr. Mike Gaskell to episode 118 of De Facto Leaders to talk about the work he’s done helping students and staff build resilience in a way that’s feasible for busy educators. Dr. Michael Gaskell is an author, speaker and school principal in East Brunswick, NJ., following experience as a special educator and assistant principal in Paramus, NJ. He models the purs...
Leveraging the power of teletherapy to provide high-quality services (with Lynne Inabnitt)
June 14, 2023 12:00 - 54 minutes - 42.4 MBWhen the pandemic hit, many clinicians had to unexpectedly transition to online therapy, which raised a lot of concerns about treatment quality. Can you really provide high-quality services in an online format? Does it require the same skill sets as in-person therapy? Are there times when teletherapy provides functionality that doesn’t exist in-person? As the world has embraced telehealth as a viable option to increase access to services, these are all questions that come up ...
Trauma-informed care for therapists, teachers, and school leaders (with Rachel Archambault)
June 07, 2023 17:12 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBThose of us working in K-12 education interact with students and staff who have experienced trauma whether we’re aware of the specific events or not. A lot of people have heard the term “trauma-informed” care, but not everyone knows what it means or how to do it in practice. That’s why I wanted to invite Rachel Archambault to episode 115 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about what trauma-informed care is and share how educators and therapists can put it into practice. Ra...
Do school leaders need coaching? (with Dan Kelley)
May 31, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBA lot of professional development is still delivered in the lecture or workshop format, even though there’s evidence that this model doesn’t have a significant impact on student outcomes. So what do people working in K-12 education need to support students and have fulfilling careers? I started asking myself that question when I was working in the schools, and I stumbled upon the coaching industry. This led me to discover design-thinking, a process for solving problems and inn...
Making literacy accessible and equitable (with Cassandra Williams)
May 24, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBSupporting language and decoding are important pieces of helping kids grow up to be successful readers. But making it happen is way more complex than that. What happens when a child in 5th grade is reading at a first grade reading level? What if there are other barriers BESIDES just reading getting in the way; such as scheduling constraints, classroom management issues, or access to mentoring? What if kids don’t have access to books outside of school, and schools don’t have th...
How to "lead up" to your school administrator (with Jethro Jones)
May 17, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBWhat do you do if your school administrator doesn’t fully understand your role and your expertise? What if you have the information and knowledge they need to drive important decisions for your school? How can you get them to listen to your input? If you’re a therapist, educator, or aspiring school leader, these questions may have popped into your head from time to time. If that’s the case, it might feel like your boss (or maybe even your boss’s boss) has all the power. But w...
Supporting self-regulation in K-12 kids (with Lisa Navarra)
May 10, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39.4 MB“Behavior problems” are an external sign of what’s going on internally. In order to support kids who are being referred for behavioral concerns, we need to address these internal skills proactively. That’s why I invited consultant and educator Lisa Navarra to episode 111 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about self-regulation. Lisa M. Navarra, M.S. in Special Education, SDA, award-winning educator and published author of children’s books, music, and teacher resources prov...
Empathy, masking, and situational awareness
May 03, 2023 11:00 - 49 minutes - 38.1 MBDo autistic people experience empathy? Does masking cause trauma? How do we help neurodivergent kids form relationships in a way that’s accepting of their differences? These are questions that I get from clinicians on a regular basis that I’ve also wondered about myself. That’s why when I created The School of Clinical Leadership, I made sure to include research and strategies to help guide clinicians through answering these questions. In episode 110 of the De Facto Lea...
Can my principal evaluate me if they've never done my job? (with Eric Makelky)
April 26, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBIf you’re a therapist or educator working in the schools, there’s a high probability that the administrator who does your employee evaluation isn’t a subject-matter expert in your discipline. If they are, you’re certainly in the minority. This is because it’s impossible to find a school administrator who’s held every single job in the school system. On top of that, employee evaluations are incredibly time-consuming, making it difficult for school leaders to provide the mentorshi...
How to do multilingual evaluations as a monolingual therapist (with Meg Morgan)
April 19, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBDoing a quality evaluation when you’re assessing things like language can be a challenge because there isn’t one “magic bullet” test that gives us what we need. What is even more challenging is when you get a referral to evaluate a client that speaks two or more languages; especially when they’re languages you don’t speak. Unfortunately, monolingual clinicians get referrals for multilingual evaluations all the time. That’s why I invited Meg Morgan, Speech-Language Pathologi...
How to make social skills intervention evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming
April 12, 2023 11:00 - 33 minutes - 33.7 MBWhat’s evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming shouldn’t be in opposition. Effective interventions that build resilience and help kids build healthy relationships should be “affirming” by definition. Yet many clinicians remain confused about how to apply this to practice; especially when it comes to things like “social skills” or “pragmatic language”. One of the most common complaints I hear across disciplines when it comes to social skills support is that students don’t gen...
Trauma, reactive attachment disorder, and supporting families (with Sharon Fuller)
April 05, 2023 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.9 MBI was honored to have Sharon Fuller, founder of The Attachment Place, LLC as a guest for episode 106 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast. Sharon began her journey with developmental trauma disorder (DTD), also known as reactive attachment disorder (RAD), when she and her husband first adopted in 2005. She is a mom to nine children, six biological and three who were added to their family through adoption. When confronting the effects of the trauma their adopted children had endur...
Do video games improve cognitive performance?
March 29, 2023 12:00 - 26 minutes - 28.4 MBIn 2022, a study was published in JAMA Network Open with a compelling title: “Video gaming may be associated with better cognitive performance in children.” You may read the article here: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/video-gaming-may-be-associated-better-cognitive-performance-children This resulted in a number of social media influencers spreading the word about the “benefits” of playing video games. For up to 3 hours a day nonetheless. What got lost in transla...
Unions, collective bargaining, and getting your voice heard (with Michael Campbell)
March 22, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBMany people in education and healthcare know that lobbying and advocacy needs to happen; but many people don’t know whose responsibility it is or how to do it. That’s why I invited Michael Campbell, published author, blogger, and licensed bilingual speech-language pathologist to the show to dive into this topic. Michael has spent time as a union member on his collective bargaining committee, and he shared a ton of useful knowledge on the process. If you’re an SLP or other related...
Self-care cabaret for teachers, therapists, and school leaders (with Dr. Theresa-Melito Conners)
March 15, 2023 12:00 - 58 minutes - 40.6 MBWe’ve all sat through some boring professional development before; but there’s nothing boring about the training you’ll get from Dr. MC, the guest on episode 103 of the De Facto Leaders podcast. Many people in “helping professions” like education and healthcare focus more on taking care of others instead of taking care of themselves; which is why I wanted to have Dr. MC on the show to talk about how school leaders can make self-care a part of K-12 culture. But not just for the stu...
The science of reading: A team approach (with Brett Stevens)
March 08, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBThere are a lot of approaches to teaching kids to read; but not all of them are effective. This is especially important for kids with disabilities who need explicit instruction. That’s why in episode 102, I had special education consultant and host of the Science of Special Education podcast, Brett Stevens, on the show to talk about the Science of Reading. Brett is a special education consultant focused on literacy and legal compliance. She has spent over 20 years within the fie...
How school therapists can lead schools in providing district-wide executive functioning supports
March 01, 2023 12:00 - 33 minutes - 33 MBStrong executive functioning skills can help kids to be resilient, adaptable, and independent. These characteristics are going to be essential for supporting mental health and success going forward. EVERYONE who interacts with school-age kids on a daily basis has the chance to support executive functioning, and not addressing this skill is a huge missed opportunity. Many treatment teams do not adequately address executive functioning, which is why so many clinicians notice their ...

How to become a children's book author (with Valerie Doherty)
February 08, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MBOn episode 98 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast, I had the opportunity to interview children’s book author and veteran SLP, Valerie Doherty. Valerie has over 30 years of experience as an SLP, and in 2011 her passion for language and literacy inspired her to start writing children’s books. Readers need physical books they can actually hold in their hands, which is why many authors want to go back to the basics and give young readers good quality books they can interact with. If y...

January 25, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBI’m SO excited to share episode 96 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast, where I sat down with Bilingual School Psychologist, Briana Wagner. Briana started out as a teacher, but soon made a career transition to school psychologist. She’s also bilingual and knows a ton about how to support culturally and linguistically diverse students. In early 2022, she started the @educationallypsyched Instagram account where she shares information about the school psychologist’s role, as well as a...
Creating therapy materials to serve your caseload and build a business (with Hallie Sherman)
January 18, 2023 13:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBIn episode 95 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast I sat down with Hallie Sherman, a school speech-language pathologist, blogger, and business owner from SpeechTimeFun (https://speechtimefun.com/). When Hallie started working as a school SLP, she had a difficult time finding materials for middle school and high school students. After a lot of trial and error, she managed to create her own tools to serve her students. In 2012, she decided to start a blog and start sharing some of th...
Using YouTube to support clients and foster innovation (with Clay Hadden)
January 11, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBIn episode 94 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast I sat down with Clay Hadden (a.k.a. Mister Clay), a private practice SLP and YouTuber from South Carolina. We had a fantastic conversation about how to come up with creative ways to serve your caseload and play a part in advocacy issues relating to health care and education. At the beginning of the pandemic, Clay found that he wasn’t able to serve a large portion of his caseload due to the lockdown. But on top of that, he found that ...
Mistakes I made and points of clarity (working memory, attention, positive reinforcement)
January 04, 2023 13:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBI’m continually learning and developing my understanding of language and executive functioning, as well as how to help teams work together to better support these skills. That’s why I recently decided to audit some of the content I have floating around the internet. In truth, I have a lot out there because I like to get content into the hands of clinicians who need it as quickly as possible, which is why I do a lot of impromptu videos and run a lean operation. And since I’m human ...
Recovering from burnout (with Angie Merced)
December 28, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBTherapist burnout is prevalent among SLPs, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals supporting K-12 kids.

She lives with her husband and two little girls in the Rochester, NY area. Her passion is to rescue SLPs who are feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and trapped in a career they're "supposed" to love.

How to help students generalize skills (even if you only see them once a week)
December 21, 2022 13:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBGeneralization is one of the most common complaints I hear from school therapists, regardless of the discipline. If you’re a clinician, you know how frustrating it is when a student seems to grasp a skill in your sessions, but doesn’t ever apply it outside your room. In episode 91, I wanted to talk about why this happens. Many therapists are very focused on building their clinical skills and planning therapy sessions. This means a lot of focus on how to support students when they...
Creating grassroots movements to support kids in your community (with Merlin Anderson)
December 14, 2022 13:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBThere’s a lot of talk within the therapy world about effective therapy strategies; but there’s NOT a lot of talk about how to get funding so programs can actually deliver support and resources. That’s why I was so excited to have Merlin Anderson on the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about what’s known as “ABC runs”. The concept of an ABC run started with 5 friends who wanted to help a local outdoor center with children’s programs to build a new facility. They decided to get tog...
What district wide activities are relevant to school therapists?
December 07, 2022 13:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MBIf you’re a school therapist, you’ve likely been asked to do a lot of things within the school system that don’t seem totally relevant to your role as a clinician. Yet at the same time, you may often feel siloed off, like you’re not a part of the school team. That’s why in episode 88 of the De Facto Leaders podcast (formerly “Are they 18 yet?®”), I wanted to talk about what school therapists can do to feel more included, respected, and valued within the school community. Specific...

De Facto Leaders: A New Show Title and Direction
November 30, 2022 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBIn this episode, I’m excited to officially announce the new direction for the podcast! The show is now called “De Facto Leaders” (it was formerly “Are they 18 yet?®”) I’ve been hinting at this for a while and have slowly transitioned the types of topics I’ve covered over the last year, but in this episode we’re making the official switch! When I originally launched the podcast, I did so in the parenting category; and aimed to share advice that would be helpful to parents and profess...
What to do when the IEP team doesn't agree
November 23, 2022 13:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBPart of a school therapist’s job is getting buy-in from the entire IEP team, but that can be difficult to do when team members don’t agree on what’s best for a student. That’s why in episode 86 of the “Are they 18 yet?®” podcast, I walk through several case studies from my mentoring group to share how to handle it when this happens. As you listen, you're going to find that building relationships is essential to providing effective therapy services, and that with a couple key shifts ...
Navigating workplace conflict and getting team buy-in
November 16, 2022 13:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBOne of the most powerful ways to provide comprehensive services for K-12 kids is by collaborating with other therapists and teachers… Which is why it’s frustrating when team members can’t come to a consensus about what’s best for kids. When you’re working together as a team, at least some conflict is inevitable. That’s why I wanted to share some case studies and Q & A sessions where members of my mentoring program for clinicians shared some real-life scenarios they were working thro...
Effective clinical supervision and creating leadership opportunities
November 09, 2022 13:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MBIf you’re a pediatric therapist or service provider, chances are you do some form of “supervising”, whether it’s in your job title or not. Part of being an effective clinical leader comes from working as a team and training others to do what we do, so kids can get support across settings. That’s why it’s important for you to think about how to supervise and mentor others, even if you’re not in an official clinical supervision role. That’s why in episode 85, I talked about how t...
Why you should plan for service delivery instead of planning for therapy
November 02, 2022 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBOne of the biggest challenges for pediatric therapists is making sure their caseload has support across the day and across settings. This becomes incredibly difficult to do with limited direct therapy time and when service providers are working in silos. That’s why one of the most important things you can do to serve your caseload is think about service delivery before you get stuck in the weeds of IEP goals and therapy worksheets. Zooming out and looking at the bird's eye view is t...
How to provide high-quality support for your caseload with the "asset stack" method
October 26, 2022 12:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBA lot of your clinical training taught you how to be a good clinician. But often it doesn’t teach you how to "work the system" and get your kids what they need. The truth is, you can't make an impact without autonomy over your time, without adequate tools, without the right people, support, and financial resources. In the system you're working in, these things are limited. You may not have enough of these things right NOW to make the impact you want. But you can change that by putt...
The Danger of the Comfort Zone
October 19, 2022 12:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBIn episode 82, I sit down with my friend and mentor Stephanie Hayes and talk about comfort zones. I share my experiences within the context of my personal business, but this applies to therapists as well. Specifically, I share how the pandemic impacted the way I provide services and online education; plus some “convenient” excuses I used for avoiding work that felt scary or uncomfortable. Ultimately, everyone has that “thing” (or things) that causes discomfort. In this episode, I sh...
Whose job is it to work on executive functioning?
October 12, 2022 12:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MBIn the School of Clinical Leadership, I’ve devoted an entire suite of programs to educating professionals on executive functioning. Even though the focus of the program is about career development and leadership, I believe that any professional working with K-12 kids needs extensive knowledge of executive functioning in order to lead effectively. I’ve likely given away the “quick and dirty” answer to the title of the episode; because I think supporting executive functioning is everyone’s ...

Career “test-runs” and calming your inner critic (with Stephanie Hayes)
October 05, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 43.9 MBIn this episode, I’m sharing a special conversation with my mentor, friend, and business consultant, Stephanie Hayes. Stephanie specializes in building businesses from the ground up by focusing on creating assets that allow small business owners to earn income and serve in a way that feels aligned and fulfilling to them. Even though she is technically like a “business coach/consultant”, many of her clients say that working with her is more like having a business partner. What she’s ...
The low-risk way to explore career pivots (for therapists)
September 28, 2022 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MBThere’s often a typical expected career path for pediatric clinicians, regardless of the discipline. It can often feel a bit constraining, especially if it doesn’t fully align with your strengths; or if the system you’re working in limits the way you serve your caseload. But what if you weren’t limited to the typical model, or the traditional job postings? What if you could design a clinical career on your own terms? This idea is exciting…but scary. Especially if you’re in a job tha...
The Levels of Clinical Leadership
September 21, 2022 12:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MBA lot of the clinicians I work with feel very “boxed in” when it comes to the typical career path for therapists. They’re boxed in by the way they have to provide services within the system, which often dictates how, when, and how often they see students/clients. They may feel boxed in by their schedule, their setting, or even their earning potential. Usually, they enjoy what they do, but have a nagging feeling that they could be doing more for their caseload, their field, and their...
