Yes!! But in a world where we're rating every consumerist interaction (Uber, Yelp, Google) and liking/reacting to posts, it's hard not to unconsciously put more weight on the 'pleasing'/popularity side of things vs the learning!

I want to “like” my own post because this is so key to the tension between practice and research at the moment…. More thoughts later #SLPeeps

How do we define a successful therapy session? The child was happy and loved the activities? Or how they did on their goals? #bskySPEECHIES

“Winging it” can often be driven by uncertainty or by habit #bskySPEECHIES

@lynn-williams.bsky.social talking about tailoring, mixing, or winging intervention approaches - pros and cons, talking about the potential risks and impact on treatment fidelity #bskySPEECHIES

Confirmation bias in search engines can impact what results one person gets via another - so “Googling” is also not enough; be sceptical of what you find on the internet and use critical thinking skills #bskySPEECHIES

Meanwhile - @lynn-williams.bsky.social asks how much clinical reasoning are you getting in a 30s social media clip - social media is valuable but it can’t be the ONLY thing you learn from #bskySPEECHIES

Forest-Jones et al. in prep - survey of where SLPs get their info: SOOO great to see what high numbers of SLPs engage in independent reading, attend CPD and conferences!! #bskySPEECHIES

Can we justify our choices: why we chose a specific analysis, target, intervention - and what supports our clinical rationale? Is there evidence?

Ensuring our decisions lead to meaningful change by implementing interventions with fidelity, monitoring progress and adjusting as required

Understanding WHY behind our assessment and intervention choices is key

It empowers SLPs to move beyond surface level strategies and tailor interventions

Clinical reasoning involves integrating theoretical knowledge, evidence, clinical experience and the unique needs of the client to develop effective intervention strategies - @lynn-williams.bsky.social

Clinical reasoning in practice is something I know many #SLPs are really keen to get “right” - but become nervous about because of wanting to get it “right”

Attending a CSU event online with @sharynnemcleod.bsky.social @lynn-williams.bsky.social - topic is Thinking in Action: Strengthening Clinical Reasoning. Thanks for the opportunity! #SLPeeps #SpeechPathology

And the adaptations asked for are usually small and low cost. Which makes it all the more frustrating.

A very robust 4 (or 3.5 days plus a tour of Malta) days of learning at #IALP2025 - this is fast becoming my favourite conference. 💫

Happy to hear your comments, feedback & questions. Otherwise see you next conference (current plans: Global TALES Symposium in Sept 2025, RCSLT in Nov 2025) ☺️
