Reimbursement Cuts and Interstate Compacts

Due to technical difficulties during recording, some audio may sound distorted. 

Michelle has made it across the country and is calling in again this week as her world possessions are delivered to her new home.  Matt went fishing with his boys this weekend for the first time and finally sat down to watch a movie.  Michelle has begun her move in process with her family.  Michael has been attempting to socially distance on the golf course and outside of the home before the school year ramps up/           

 

On today’s show, we discuss an improvement in the Interstate Compact, cuts to reimbursement, and we continue the discussion on SLP assistants and telepractice.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process. 

 

The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com.

SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, which is recognition for someone doing something awesome somewhere. We shout out to Armani Williams, NASCARS first driver with Autism. 

 

SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  This week’s due process was submitted anonymously:  Let us know what you have on your mind this week.
