DRUMROLL PLEASE… 🥁
The SLP / SLPA 2025 Awards are officially here. No red carpet required- just real-life grit, heart, and showing up when it counted. Let’s celebrate the wins that sometimes go unseen.
⭐️ The “Heart-Led Professional” Award
For caring deeply, holding space for families, and loving your work—even when the system made it heavy.
⭐️ The “Progress Isn’t Linear (And That’s Okay)” Award
For celebrating tiny gains, honoring plateaus, and remembering that growth doesn’t always look Instagram-pretty.
⭐️ The “Advocated Even When It’s Hard” Award
For speaking up in meetings, writing the report again, and pushing for what your clients/students truly need—even when it’s uncomfortable.
⭐️ The “Relationship Builder” Award
Because connection came before data. You built trust, safety, and joy—and that mattered more than any checkbox.
⭐️ The “You Showed Up Anyway” Award
For the days you were exhausted, overwhelmed, or doubting yourself—but still showed up for your kids, your team, and yourself.
⭐️ The “Creative Problem Solver” Award
For therapy on the fly, last-minute plan changes, duct-taped materials, and making it work with what you had.
Which one are you claiming this year?
