Meet Your CF Mentors
Each of our clinical fellows is matched with an experienced and highly-qualified Related Services Manager-SLP, who provides hands-on, customized support as well as guidance and mentorship.
These skilled individuals are standing by to support you as a person and a professional, in every step of your clinical fellowship. Here they share some noteworthy advice with prospective clinical fellows!
Wendy Lybrand, MS, CCC-SLP
There are no speech emergencies, know when you’ve put enough effort in, everything you produce is not going to be perfect! Nothing has to be Pinterest-worthy. Hold yourself to a high standard, but know when it’s “good enough” and move on.
Meredith Bergeron, MS, CCC-SLP
My best advice for a CF is to use these nine months to ask any and all questions. You have lots of opportunities to meet with your supervisor, talk about cases, have your work reviewed, and your sessions supervised. Use that time! We want to share our expertise and help you make the most of this year of learning and growth.
Kristen Perrotti, MS, CCC-SLP
My advice for a CF is to listen. Listening is one of the best tools we have as experts in communication. Take the time to sit back, observe, and listen. Listen to your students, their teachers, their classmates and parents. People open up when they feel heard and listening can be one of the first steps in fostering good relationships with others.
Elizabeth Burns, MS, CCC-SLP
My best advice for CFs is to take time to ask questions (Write them down when your supervisor isn’t with you.) and take advantage of this time to hone your writing skills. Writing with correct grammar, especially learning to write all reports in the past tense, is very important to your professional credibility. “An SLP who doesn’t know grammar is like a physician who doesn’t know anatomy.” – Unknown
Kelly Johnston, MS, CCC-SLP
Work hard, play hard! Dedicate time to make connections with the other providers and staff you work with on a daily basis, in addition to your CF supervisor. Actively listen and learn from the experiences others have to share, including from the parents and children you work with. Every new experience (positive or negative!) is adding to your professional knowledge and is meaningful. Learn from it all, and ask questions. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed but make time to fill your bucket by doing things that make you happy. Stay positive, smile, and those CCCs will be there before you know it!
Kathy Kennedy-Brill, MA, CCC-SLP
My best advice for a CF is to establish yourself as a positive presence and work to develop collaborative partnerships with members of your teams. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, get into those classrooms, and try new things, even if they are uncomfortable at first. Your colleagues, CF supervisor, and the ASHA Practice Portal will be invaluable resources that will help you learn and grow. Your first year in schools may feel overwhelming at times, but remember that you are not in this alone. We’ll be there, right alongside you, and will help you feel both competent and confident in the work you do! You’ve got this!
Shannon Anthony, MS, CCC-SLP
My best advice for a clinical fellow is to ask questions, lots of questions! Take advantage of the experience and expertise of your mentor. Don’t be afraid to seek support when you need it. This is your time to apply all you have learned and change the lives of your students. Let your mentor help you shine.
Danielle Moore, MS, CCC-SLP
My best advice for your CF year is to be kind to yourself! You will neither enter nor exit your CF knowing all there is to know about speech-language pathology. Know that you have a team of professionals behind you, even beyond your direct supervisor, who want you to be successful! We are here for YOU. Ask questions, take risks, and know you have a soft place to land with BTS.
