Carrie Clark, CCC-SLP

Welcome! I am a speech-language pathologist based out of Missouri, United States of America. I work full time running the Speech and Language Kids website and our professional membership program at www.SLPSolution.com. In addition to that, I also see speech therapy clients in a local school district one day per week.

I've worked in early intervention, preschool, and k12 schools. I've also run my own private practice and worked in continuing education through my websites. I've spent hours digging through the research on what works and doesn't work in therapy. And I've also spent hours streamlining and simplifying my own practice to help me make the most out of my limited time as an SLP.

Now, I'm ready to help you do the same! I've poured everything I know into creating courses that help you learn the most effective and streamlined ways to support your clients And you'll know that everything I'm recommending is a strategy that I have used myself with great success. My courses will break down skills for you into step-by-step plans that you can implement in therapy right away. And I'll help you learn shortcuts and organization hacks that will save you time and energy and help you love what you do again. I can't wait to get started and show you how much better this job can be!

  • What Ages is this Course For?

    This course could be used with clients who are appropriate for the cycles approach to phonology. The cycles approach has been shown with research to be effective for children from ages 2.5-14 years.

  • Who Should Take this Course?

    This course is designed for speech-language pathologists, speech-language therapists, and speech-language pathologist assistants/aides. This course assumes a basic level of understanding of speech-language pathology and so would be most helpful for those with training and experience in this area. However, caregivers and educators may benefit from this information as well.

  • Can I ask questions or get support while taking the course?

    Yes! Each page of the course will have a forum where you can ask questions and see other participants' questions. I'll be hopping in regularly to answer questions so check back for my response!

  • How long will I have to complete this course?

    You will have access to the course materials for a full 6 months.

  • Can I Get Continuing Education Credit for this Course?

    Yes! You can download a certificate of completion for the 1 hour of video content. However, Speech and Language Kids/SLP Solution is not an ASHA-Approved CEU provider so we cannot offer you ASHA CEUs for your participation. You can use the certificate of completion as "Professional Development Hours (PDH)" and they can count toward your 30 hours that ASHA requires. You will need to check with your state licensing organization or your country (if outside USA) to see if they will accept PDH instead of CEUs.
