From Practitioner to Presenter
The step-by-step proposal writing program built specifically for SLPs, OTs, and PTs who want to present at state and national conferences.
If you ever thought.
“I’d love to present someday, but I don’t know where to start,”
this program was built for you.
Your Clinical Expertise Deserves Recognition
Every day, you help patients make meaningful progress and discover practical strategies that other clinicians could benefit from.
But when that call for conference proposals lands in your inbox, the doubt and imposter syndrome start creeping in.
"Am I experienced enough?"
"What are reviewers actually looking for?"
"How can I do this without a PhD?"
This situation likely leaves you feeling capable in the clinic and completely at a loss the moment you open a call for papers. So instead of submitting, you close the tab and tell yourself you'll do it next year.
Until now.
After reviewing many conference proposals and presenting across the country, I know this:
Conference committees are looking for presentation proposals that make them think, "THIS will help clinicians improve their practice."
And that's exactly what this program will help you create.

— Amber“I just learned that my colleague and I are speaking at ASHA. Huge thanks to Valeria for helping with the proposal!”

You Need to KnowHonest Disclosure:
I can't guarantee your proposal will be accepted. Conference review is competitive, and factors beyond our control influence selection. However, my track record speaks for itself, and I'm committed to giving you every possible advantage in the submission process. Many of my clients have successfully transitioned from practitioners to state and national presenters using these strategies.
Your expertise deserves to be seen.
Let’s make it happen together.
