here's what SLPs have to say.


"This training was so spot-on and interesting that I was messaging other speech therapists about it before the training was over!"

-Bobbi, SLP Private Practice


"This program was beneficial to me because first, it put me in my client's shoes. Being asked to leave my comfort zone and create sounds I didn't think I could produce changed my perception of client rapport building. I see the benefits of teaching sound production without attachment to past failures in producing speech. Beatboxing can facilitate errorless learning."

- Melissa, SLPA Intern in schools and private practice


"I believe in the transformative nature of beatboxing and the ways in which beatboxing can positively influence communication and actually improve the accuracy of speech sound production. Speech and beatboxing are social practices and have inherent qualities that encourage turn-taking, listening, and articulating. Perhaps most importantly, I also see the vibrant connection between beatboxing and the experiences, activities, and participation of youth in daily interactions."

Heather Rusiewicz, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Duquesne University, Associate Professor
