Description
In 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 many of his clients couldn’t get funding to cover services, which meant he had to find a creative way to support them. That’s when he started his YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@MisterClay), and the rest is history! In this conversation, we dive in to topics such as: ✅How he created assets to support clients during lockdown that he still uses today to facilitate language growth outside of sessions. ✅How he empowers his staff to innovate and create resources families can use to build communication skills. ✅What he’s doing to solve problems with insurance reimbursement ✅How to find online videos that support language development (and how to screen out the harmful ones) ✅Mindset tips for creating books, videos, and other tools for families (and why you should get started before you feel “ready”) There were a ton of great resources mentioned in this episode, and I’ll start by listing all the places you can find Clay’s work. You can find his YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/@MisterClay), his blog here (https://www.misterclayslp.com/), and follow him on Instagram here (https://www.instagram.com/mister_clay_slp/).

Clay also mentioned a number of other great resources for clinicians and families, including: OT.Outside.The.Box (https://www.instagram.com/ot.outside.the.box/) ShelbytheSLP (https://www.instagram.com/shelbytheslp/) PlaySpark (https://www.instagram.com/play_spark/) ThanksMorris (https://www.instagram.com/thanksmorris/) Miss Rachel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTqtGJwsJVE) Cosmic Kids Yoga (https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicKidsYoga) Bluey (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVzLLZkDuFGAE2BGdBuBNBg) We also discussed Atomic Habits by James Clear (https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299) and Drive by Dan Pink. (https://www.danpink.com/books/drive/) In this episode, I mentioned my “30 Skills and Tools to Foster Generalization” guide that walks through assets you can build to ensure clients get support outside your sessions.

Positive Reinforcement: Does it really help motivate kids?: When I worked in the school systems, rewards and behavior charts were a common practice. Even in my training to be a therapist, “positive reinforcement” was often a go-to strategy for managing behaviors and motivating kids to do “non-preferred” tasks. The by De Facto Leaders
