#100: Let’s Celebrate Episode 100 of the Autism Outreach Podcast (Lisa Chattler)

Wow! I can't believe we are here… episode 100! In honor of this milestone, we are flipping the script with my friend and mentor, Lisa Chattler, interviewing me.Going back to the VERY beginning, I had no idea what I wanted to be, so my mom gave me a career test my senior year and it actually revealed my ideal profession as a speech therapist. I really didn't know a lot about the career so I shadowed a friend of the family who was an SLP and that day I just knew it was perfect for me, so I declared my major and never looked back. Now I've been an SLP for 20 years.Lisa asks some great questions about the learners, mentors, resources, and paths that lead to where I am today: dual certified as a BCBA and SLP, operating an online business, offering courses and webinars, and hosting the Autism Outreach Podcast. And I get to share those important decisions and people who have shaped my experience. Since I was a kid, I've always been in trouble because I was turned sideways in my chair talking away. That is one of the reasons I love this podcast; not only do I get to talk and have great conversations but I get to do so with experts in the field that I really admire. I am happy to have this opportunity and keep spreading the word about autism, SLPs, BCBAs, and ABA through the show and my online courses. Thanks for being a listener, and just know your dedication to the field by listening is so important!#autism #speectherapyWhat’s Inside:Celebrating 100 episodes of the Autism Outreach PodcastAn interview with host, Rose GriffinThe people, students, and experiences that shaped Rose Griffin’s career journey.Mentioned In This Episode:ABA Speech
