There’s a surreal moment that happens when you stop being an SLP grad student and suddenly become the Clinical Fellow walking into the room. On this episode of the All About Kids Podcast, Speech Language Pathologists Mallory Kanterman and Kate Grande pull back the curtain on what their Clinical Fellowship at All About Kids actually looked like.

From communicating with their supervisors to managing caseloads to panic-filled “What am I doing?” moments, Kate and Mallory don’t hold back on painting the full picture of their CF year. We get into navigating the chaos of the school environment, awkward parent phone calls, parking nightmares, and those breakthrough moments where therapy finally clicks and everything feels worth it.

Mallory and Kate share how mentorship, flexibility, and learning to think on the fly shaped their confidence during their CF year at All About Kids. Alongside the obstacles and the pressure of first-time responsibility, they racked up plenty of wins that made them stop and think, “Okay… I actually can do this.”
