I’ve been fortunate to be featured on various podcasts as a guest expert, and I also offer trainings for school districts, professional organizations for teachers and therapists. I can speak on a number of topics relating to language, literacy, executive functioning, and leadership/career growth. I also help IEP teams work together so they can design more effective services.
If you’re interested in learning about professional development, packages, and offerings and would be interested in having me provide professional development or mentoring for your organization, email me at talktome@drkarenspeech.com.
If you are an educator or clinician, podcast host, business owner, influencer, or thought leader and you’re interested in doing a collaboration; whether it be having me train or consult for an existing program you offer, being guests on each other’s podcasts, or something else; I’d love to hear from you. Can you also reach me at my support email at talktome@drkarenspeech.com.
