Are you a school-based speech-language pathologist constantly feeling like you're performing a high-wire act?
In this episode, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, welcomes Dr. Lesley Sylvan, EdD, to explore what it really takes to balance the structured world of IEP-driven special education with the more flexible, prevention-focused framework of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).
Many SLPs feel torn between legal mandates and schoolwide initiatives, as if they’re stuck juggling competing demands. But what if there’s a better way to approach the overlap?
Through thoughtful conversation and real-world examples, Carolyn and Dr. Sylvan offer practical strategies to help you reframe the tension, clarify your role, and integrate both models in a way that feels more sustainable and impactful for you and your students.
