During this week’s show, the group practiced going live on Instagram.  Michael’s clinic has begun to open up to in person live therapy and he continues to balance the role teletherapy has on his current caseload as well.  Michelle continues to prep for leave to Kansas and looks to transition patients to new therapists.  Matt is now being tested every other week for Covid-19 as part of keeping the home health staff and patients safe. 
 
On today’s show, we discuss recent research comparing teletherapy to in person therapy and the role COVID-19 has in impacting future graduate school classes.  This week’s Informed SLP looks at the importance of timing for therapy.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight looks at the ASHA online communities. Christina Ristuccia returns for the third time to discuss when to finally discharge a student when you have been working on /r/ for so long.  So how do you avoid the lifers?   
 
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.  Courtney Claxton is an SLP who has created an online community for speech and language pathologists and hearing professionals living with hearing loss.          
 
SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.

Topic #1: How good is telehealth therapy?  Does it show the same results as in person therapy?  A recent study looked at the effectiveness of communication and social skills training with a partner.  The study showed similar results with both groups.    
 
Topic #2: COVID-19 has changed the way we have approached therapy and now it is changing the way schools plan their programs.  The University of Central Florida is creating a new class to target these new skills which include the proper use of PPE.    
 
Interview: Say It Right and World of R’s Christina Ristuccia returns to the show to talk about the end of Articulation therapy and when to discharge a student.
