In this brief monologue, Hallie Bulkin positions herself and her peers as disruptors within speech and airway therapy, challenging the conventional status quo. She argues that clinicians should intervene earlier—such as performing jaw or nasal surgeries before problems become entrenched—to prevent adults from facing unnecessary struggles later in life. Bulkin emphasizes a willingness to deviate from standard protocols and rule books, asserting that adhering to outdated norms is unacceptable. The talk underscores a proactive, patient‑centred philosophy that prioritizes early, sometimes unconventional, treatment to improve long‑term outcomes.
