I am excited to share with you my conversation with Dr. Jerry Hoepner from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.  Jerry is a leading voice in counseling within speech-language pathology and audiology. Dr. Hoepner's work offers a rich perspective on the significance of a holistic approach in our field, clarifying its role within our scope of practice. His commitment to enhancing the preparation of SLPs and audiologists through graduate programs and continuing education is both inspiring and essential. In our conversation, Dr. Hoepner serves as a practical guide, emphasizing the importance of addressing both the communication abilities and psychological well-being of those we serve. This episode is a must-listen for professionals dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the lives of families, children, and adults in our care.
