172: The One About School Contracting

Venita
About this episode

In this episode, I am joined by Myia Sower, a Speech-Language Pathologist  and owner of the teletherapy company LowKey Speech Teletherapy LLC. Myia has worked in public schools, skilled nursing facilities, as well as in-patient rehab. Prior to becoming a certified Speech-Language Pathologist she was a Special Education teacher for 15 years.

Now she is looking to use her skills to increase SLP pay, change the negative view SPED directors have of teletherapy, and increase access to speech therapy services while providing a system of support for therapists in the school based SLP field.
