A Fresh and Unique Online Community for SLPs & SLPAs
What do you do after you watch a webinar? Sure, you take the quiz to earn ASHA CEUs… But then what?
Maybe you talk about it with colleagues…
Or maybe you bring your notes to work so you can start implementing your new evidence-based knowledge faster than you can say puh-tuh-kuh.
We at SpeechTherapyPD.com see you absorbing endless hours of online clinical education, but it’s time we step things up a notch. Instead of simply giving you access to live and recorded webinars, podcasts, seminars, and virtual conferences only to leave you alone with your thoughts, we wanted to create a follow-up support system…
Introducing The SLP Hub
It's like Facebook, but better.
This new feature gives all of our subscribers access to a private online community that houses a variety of discussion groups and our virtual Career Center. Each discussion group is dedicated to a particular area of speech-language pathology.
Have questions about your 1-3 year-old pediatric population? Check out the Early Intervention First Bite group.
Stuck on how to support your patient with Alzheimer’s disease? Join the Medical Adult group.
We don’t stop there!
The SLP Hub also offers group mentorship opportunities, university credit groups, deep-dive webinar discussion groups, our Career Center, and even opportunities for 1:1 mentor calls!
In a nutshell….
Every single subscriber (Basic and Professional) gets access to The SLP Hub and any of the niche-specific discussion groups.
All subscribers can also ask questions and share career tips in the Career Center of The SLP Hub! This is a place for SLPs to ask questions about resumes, interview tips, career opportunities, and professional development. Subscribers will also have access to webinars dedicated to common SLP career topics!
Professional subscribers get access to our University Credit Community.
For an additional cost, any subscriber can sign up for our 6-week Mentor Group.
Anyone (subscribers and non-subscribers) can sign up and pay for a 1:1 call with one of our mentors.
SpeechTherapyPD.com will continue to build out groups based on demand. So if you don’t see a particular topic you’d like to talk about, email us with your request! Just as we’ve built out our CEU library and podcast discussions through subscriber feedback, we welcome suggestions and invite growth.
Our invited moderators will facilitate the discussions to offer support and guidance, and you’ll have a group of peers to lean on! This is what most people are familiar with when it comes to online communities, particularly Facebook groups. However, our private communities don’t come with the judgment, the drama, or the random platform shutdowns that no one can predict or control.
As a Subscriber to SpeechTherapyPD.com, you can join any clinically-based discussion group you’d like. We suggest that you check out a community that directly relates to a course or webinar you just crushed! Ask questions, see who else took the same course, and brainstorm ways to implement what you just learned.
While any subscriber can join as many clinically-based discussion groups as they’d like, there are more intensive groups available to Professional Subscribers.
Available to Professional Subscribers only:
In order to offer something that provides more support from our team, we’ve created two deeper-level communities available for our Professional Subscribers only.
University Credit Community
Did you know that we offer graduate-level semester credits for some of our courses? We have partnered with the University of the Pacific/Benerd College to allow SLPs to earn grad-level semester university credits through the SpeechTherapyPD.com course library!
We’ve created the University Credit Community so you can join in on live discussions about the credits you’re earning.
>What to expect
Take any of our designated University Credit courses and join this group to ask follow-up questions, brainstorm ways to apply the information to your practice, and speak to our University Adjunct Professor, Yoomi Kim, MS. CCC-SLP. Use this opportunity to talk to other SLPs who are taking credits, find an accountability partner, and support each other’s growth in a new way!
There is an extra cost to the University for this option.
For both subscribers and non-subscribers at an additional cost:
In search of some 1:1 mentorship and a group of growth-oriented peers? Then you’re invited to check out our mentor groups (even if you’re not a paying subscriber)! This is an add-on service dedicated to providing six weeks of brainstorming, peer accountability and support to sharpen your skills as a therapist. Each group is open to 20 SLPs and SLPAs only in order to provide the attention and support you and your peers deserve.
What to expect
