In this episode of The Gestalt Get-Together, Corinne Zmoos, MS, CCC-SLP sits down with Mikelia Wallace, MT-BC/L for an honest, interprofessional conversation about supporting highly musical gestalt language processors (GLPs).
Together, they unpack how music therapists and speech-language pathologists can collaborate more effectively by clearly understanding each other’s scope of practice, education, and clinical lenses. Rather than overlapping roles, this conversation highlights how differences in training and perspective can be leveraged to improve outcomes for clients.
Mikelia shares practical tools to help SLPs feel more confident incorporating music into their work with GLPs while reducing uncertainty and discomfort. She also opens the door for music therapists who may feel hesitant about collaborating with other professionals, offering a framework for respectful, client-centered teamwork.
This episode invites both SLPs and music therapists into a shared space of clarity, curiosity, and collaboration, all in service of supporting GLPs in meaningful, affirming ways.
