44. Emotionally Based vs Evidence-Based Practice: 6 Myths SLPs Must Stop Believing

As SLPs, our work is far too important to rely on emotionally based practice—doing something simply because it “sounds good” or because it’s trending on social media. Every detail of your practice matters.In this episode, I share six emotionally based practice myths I’ve been challenged on—and the evidence that proves otherwise. From speech sound disorder targets to narrative development, AAC setup, and movement-based activities, you’ll learn why research—not rhetoric—should guide every decision we make in therapy.If you’ve ever felt pressured to follow what’s popular instead of what’s proven, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to choose evidence over emotion every time.✨ Want ready-to-use, empirically based therapy tools that align with EBP?
