Ready for an information-packed episode on a controversial topic? This one is for you. Dr. Mike Wolff is here to talk through the ins and outs of central auditory processing disorder. If you’re like me, CAPD has come up so many times over the years in your practice, yet the research is mixed on the validity of the diagnosis. Mike presents a thoughtful and compelling case for considering CAPD as a “thing,” and there’s a lot to take from this episode. These are some of the topics that we discussed:

• Definition of CAPD
• Who can (or should) diagnose CAPD?
• How is CAPD similar and different to existing diagnoses like ADHD, language disorders, and autism spectrum disorders?
• What are the available treatments for CAPD?

I am honored to have Dr. Seth Grossman and Dr. Robert Tringone on the show today to talk about the Millon family of instruments. Not only were Robert and Seth personally connected to Ted Millon for many years, they’ve continued to play major roles in the development and authorship of the instruments and those oh-so-nuanced interpretive reports. I couldn’t think of anyone better suited to have this discussion with me. Here are just a few points that we discuss:

• Ted Millon’s personality and legacy
• The origin and development of the Millon theory of personality
• How to tie the theory to the instruments
• Interpreting the Millon instruments
• How to make sense of the interpretive report

Anybody else having a hard time finding clinicians? In my talks with other practice owners around the country, it seems like EVERYONE is struggling to hire. There are many reasons that I believe this is happening, but what it means for us as practice owners is that we have to do more to set ourselves apart from the other employment options out there. One of the ways to do that is with a stellar job ad. Here’s what I’m discussing in today’s episode:

• Why the typical ad just doesn’t work anymore
• Two components that can set your job ad apart from others
• Where to advertise your job
