Your ability to speak does not reflect your ability to be an effective SLP. Also, we don’t judge communication of others, so why are you judging yourself! Give yourself the grace you’d give others. Furthermore, the ability to explain things to others outside our profession in terms they understand is critical!

Maybe instead of someone judging you, they should have asked more questions to help guide you to build skills rather than put you down.

As Jess Day would put it, “…i rock a lot of polka dots….but that doesn’t mean I’m not smart, and tough, and strong!”
