Unlocking Communication: Moises Morgenstern of Empat Speech on Bridging the Speech Therapy Gap

In this episode of An Imperfect Leader: The Superintendents and Leadership Podcast, I sit down with Moises Morgenstern, co-founder and CEO of Empat Speech, a leading platform that connects schools with experienced speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Moises shares how his company is improving access to speech therapy using technology, addressing the nationwide shortage of SLPs, and supporting schools in providing high-quality speech-language services.

We discuss how telehealth speech therapy is transforming support for students, particularly in rural communities where access to in-person specialists is limited. Moises discusses the importance of bilingual speech therapy, strategies for managing caseloads in schools, and how AI-enhanced solutions are helping improve student outcomes through personalized learning.
