This podcast episode is all about how NOT to use digital resources. I wanted to mention that this isn’t the first time we have talked about this topic on the podcast. In 2019, I recorded an episode called “How Not to Use Technology in Speech Therapy.” I’ll be covering some of the same themes today, and expanding on some of the ideas that were mentioned in that episode. I’ll also bring some new suggestions into the mix. Go here to access the show notes: https://bit.ly/TSSEP122
