Welcome to Speech Talk, a podcast for SLPs who are hungry to stay on top of the latest research but don’t have the time to read it. Every other week, join hosts Emily and Eva, two working SLPs who have taken it upon themselves to dive into the data so you don’t have to. Together, they’re turning clinical studies into real-life solutions. From cognitive screening to medication management, adult neuro rehab to discharge planning, they break it all down with evidence, empathy, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. It’s smart, practical, and very real. It’s also, ahem, your new favorite podcast!

Productivity: the push button topic in the SNF world. If you’ve ever felt torn between what’s ethical and what’s expected, this episode will hit home.
Instead of a research article, we dive into Akyko S. West’s dissertation on productivity requirements and moral distress in SNF rehab therapists (SLPs, PTs, OTs, RTs, and their assistants). This paper READS like every conversation we’ve had in break rooms for yearsss.
In this episode, we cover:
Why productivity expectations in SNFs feel impossible
What West discovered about moral distress across 152 rehab clinicians
How difficult-to-meet productivity demands impact clinical judgment
Why negative consequences—not productivity alone—drive distress
The ethics conversations no one wants to have but everyone needs
Personal stories from the field (PRN trauma included)
Why the “sweet spot” for ethical productivity still doesn’t exist
What therapists can realistically do to protect patients and themselves
We get real about navigating profit-driven healthcare, maintaining integrity, advocating for yourself, and knowing when to walk away.
