In July 2026, I had a chat with Jen, a bilingual English-Spanish speech-language pathologist from the United States. When you listen to the episode, you’ll understand why I think Jen is a “Super SLP”. Not only does she work bilingually across the lifespan, but she’s also pursuing doctoral research about bilingual SLP practice, focusing on monolingual SLPs working with culturally and linguistically diverse clients.

In this episode, Jen shares about the discrepancy between the number of bilingual SLPs in the United States and the population of multilingual speakers in the country, considerations when providing assessment and intervention for culturally and linguistically diverse clients, and guidance for where to access further resources. 

She also shares about her personal journey of becoming bilingual, overseas travels that helped develop her second language skills, and the importance of holding pride in her bicultural and bilingual identity, particularly in the United States in 2026. 

You can find Jen on Instagram.

A note on assessment: the PLS-5 was normed across the United States and Puerto Rico. The GFTA - 3 Spanish uses a pan-Hispanic approach, normed on a diverse group of Spanish speakers across the United States, Puerto Rico, Central America and the Caribbean.

In June 2026, I had a chat with Abby, a British SLP living and working in Bangkok, Thailand.

You might know that Thailand, also known as the land of smiles, has some of the most amazing food and beautiful beaches in the world. But did you also know that it’s home to the world’s largest solid gold Buddha?

Grab your passport, pack your bags and get ready to come on an audio adventure to discover what life is like as a British SLP in Thailand 🇹🇭.

Just a quick note, there is a terminology that Abby uses in this episode that you might not be familiar with: SenCo, which stands for Special Educational Needs Coordinator.

In June 2026, I caught up with Nicole, an American SLP living and working in Germany. I recently published another episode with an American SLP in Germany (and, fun fact, they live in the same town!), but Nicole’s story is different. Prior to working in Europe, she also worked abroad in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Thailand. 

Grab your passport, pack your bags and get ready to come on an audio adventure to discover what life is like as an American SLP in Germany and the U.S. Virgin Islands 🇩🇪🇻🇮.

Here are some helpful resources that Nicole recommends for anyone thinking about moving to Germany:

If you’re an SLP thinking about moving overseas, then you’re going to want to listen to this mini-series featuring Veera, an American SLP who will soon be moving to the U.K.

Veera has kindly agreed to let us come along for the ride as she moves her life from Minneapolis to London. In June 2026, Veera and I met virtually, and she shared all of the steps she’s taken so far in preparation for her big move. She talks about her reason for leaving the U.S., why she chose London, as well as more SLP-specific processes relating to licensing, finding a job, and securing a visa. 

We’ll check in with Veera periodically along the way as she settles into her new life overseas to learn, in real time, what life is like as an American SLP in the U.K. 🇬🇧

This is Part 1: Pre-Departure.

In June 2026, I met with three of the directors from Trinh Foundation Australia, a voluntary, non-profit, non-government organisation dedicated to helping the people of Vietnam establish speech therapy as a profession in their country 🇻🇳.

We discussed the development of the profession over the last two decades, how the Trinh Foundation works in-country, current volunteering opportunities, and their vision for the future.

In the next SLPs Overseas episode, you’ll hear from three of the Directors of the Trinh Foundation Australia, a voluntary, non-profit, non-government organisation dedicated to helping the people of Vietnam establish speech therapy as a profession in their country. 

Trinh Foundation Australia is currently recruiting in-country clinical placement volunteers and online Beyond Borders mentors. You will hear more about these roles in the upcoming episode.

Back in June 2023, I caught up with Beth, an American SLP who studied her Master’s program in Australia. Back then, the podcast was called The SLP Cohort Catch Up because I was reconnecting with people from my Master’s, 10 years post-graduation.

While a lot has changed in Beth’s life and my life since we originally recorded this interview, I wanted to replay it for you now as an SLPs Overseas episode because there is still so much that you can take away from hearing Beth’s story, particularly if you are an SLP-to-be, thinking about studying speech-language pathology overseas.

In May 2026, I had a chat with Jonathan, a Senior Institutional Relations Officer at a study abroad company. He also happens to be one of my closest friends and the person who inspired my first overseas move. Jonathan has two decades of experience in the field of international education, from his own study abroad experience in Melbourne, Australia, to his work setting up international programs and supporting other students in their study abroad ventures. 

In this episode, Jonathan gives an overview of the kinds of study abroad programs currently available for students, shares factors to consider when choosing a destination country, and reflects on the challenges and benefits of his own study abroad experience. 

An audio note: at times, you’ll hear the dulcet sounds of New York City in the background, given Jonathan’s Manhattan recording location.

In May 2026, I had a chat with Grace, a British SLP living and working in Nelson, New Zealand. Nelson is at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. You might know that the Marlborough wine region is on the South Island. But did you also know that Nelson is home to the “Centre of New Zealand” monument? Well, technically, the geographic centre of New Zealand is about 60 kilometres southwest of Nelson. The monument in Nelson that you can visit today was the starting point for the first land surveys of New Zealand in the 1870s. 

Grab your passport, pack your bags and get ready to come on an audio adventure to learn what life is like as a British SLP in New Zealand 🇳🇿.
