It was an absolute honour to engage in a conversation with Shane Pearson about his Chapter, Speech Pathology in schools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLTWnVN-V9c . Shane generously shared the following:

- what drove him to study Speech and Language Pathology

- his experiences in a range of different settings

- how his experiences have shaped his current path in working at a school in Melbourne (Brandon Park Primary School)

- his work in developing a research-informed curriculum, PhOrMeS that focuses on words (decoding words, spelling words, and learning about words)

Shane and his team's work can be found on https://www.phormes.com/

An enormous thanks to Shane Pearson for taking the time to have this important conversation and to everyone else for listening/connecting with it. Please share it with anyone that may connect with this conversation.
