Building on the previous episode, "The Intersection of Mental Health and Adolescent Language," Michelle welcomes back Kary Mirasola, MS, CCC-SLP, along with Ken L. Grizzle, PhD, for an engaging conversation about the value of collaboration between SLPs and psychologists.
Drawing from their years of working together at Children’s Wisconsin, they explore how mental health can affect language learning, communication, and participation for neurodivergent children and adolescents. Together, they discuss how anxiety, psychiatric diagnoses, and lived experiences can shape a child's ability to engage and connect with others, while sharing practical insights from both psychology and speech-language pathology.
The conversation also examines bias in standardized testing and why looking beyond test scores is essential to understanding the whole child. Tune in for real-world examples, practical strategies, and a thoughtful discussion about how interprofessional collaboration can help clinicians better support children and adolescents navigating the intersection of language, learning, and mental health.
