UTSA feels good? Or at least as decent as most of the teams that consider themselves among the upper tier of the AAC conference, as we continue on with our season preview series. - Owen McCown might be the best quarterback in the AAC by default? And Also because he's actually good, even if he's not Frank Harris. The rest of the skill players should be fun too. -As has been the case with the rest of the conference, nobody is going to play defense. We almost forgot to talk about the secondary, but that was somewhat by design.- UTSA's best kicking option will probably be kicking for Rice football this fall, which leaves the Roadrunners in a bind. - Jared and Matt get on a soapbox about supporting independent media like this.

In this episode of Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree, host Dr. Sarah Tanner-Anderson sits down with Daija Fowler, a speech-language pathologist whose journey from psychology major to Communication Sciences and Disorders leader highlights the power of purpose, mentorship, and professional reinvention.Daija traces her path back to her undergraduate days at UNC Greensboro, where a shift in academic focus—and a few pivotal conversations with her mom and a childhood friend—led her to discover a calling in Communication Sciences and Disorders. That moment of clarity set her on a path toward Longwood University, where she pursued her Master's degree in speech-language pathology.A first-generation college student, Daija speaks openly about the challenges she faced navigating graduate school applications, tuition costs, and the weight of doing it all without a roadmap. But it was at Longwood where she found her footing—and her voice. As a graduate assistant in the CSD department, Daija stepped into roles that demanded precision, organization, and adaptability. With the mentorship of faculty like Dr. King, she not only helped run the behind-the-scenes operations of the clinic but also developed a deeper appreciation for the profession she was preparing to enter.Now working full-time in the school system, Daija reflects on her transition from private practice to public education while maintaining her original clients in an after-school capacity. From the nerves of her first interviews to the satisfaction of helping students meet their communication goals, Daija shares how each stage of her journey has deepened her confidence and commitment. Her passion for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and fluency—specialties she didn't expect to fall in love with—demonstrates the value of staying open to new possibilities.Throughout the episode, Daija shines a light on the often-overlooked complexities of the SLP role. From diagnostics to collaboration with classroom teachers, she makes it clear that speech-language pathology is about far more than “teaching kids to talk.” It's about connection, growth, and giving students the tools to be heard.A standout moment in the conversation is Daija's tribute to the mentors who helped shape her: Dr. King, Dr. Wallace, and Dr. Walker. Their belief in her potential fueled her drive and underscored the lifelong impact of supportive academic relationships.As she looks ahead, Daija's considering ways to share her story more broadly—possibly through a YouTube channel—to support others navigating the early stages of their SLP careers. Describing her journey in three words—authentic, adaptable, creative—Daija's story is one of resilience, resourcefulness, and the courage to grow beyond expectations.Subscribe now to hear more powerful stories from Lancers making a difference beyond the degree—and follow us to stay connected: Facebook: @longwoodgraduatestudies Instagram: @longwoodgradstudies Twitter: @longwoodcgps YouTube: @longwoodgradstudies Website: www.Longwood.edu/Gradprograms

As we all now ease into summer vacation mode - even if we're still working at our many labours - we're taking stock of this busy year so far. We've made it though two elections and some long nights at council with at least a couple of more long nights to come before city council takes August off. (Or will they, given that there's been a special August meeting the last few years?) So where do we currently stand with the first six months of 2025 behind us? To help us, we're talking this week with Mike Ashkewe, who wears far too many hats in our community to be listed briefly here. Now Mike doesn't just comment on the news, he sometimes makes the news. Back in April, Mike was one of several members of the former Accessibility Advisory Committee who walked away in the middle of their last meeting due to the unwillingness of city council and staff to give the AAC members the autonomy they were seeking.  The sudden departure of the AAC has cast a big shadow on the way that the City of Guelph handles accessibility issues, but no one talked about it last week at Committee of the Whole as council talked about putting new temporary ramps around Guelph, especially downtown. Of course, that wasn't the only topic at that meeting that had to do with Downtown Guelph including future construction and the Memorial Cup bid, and if accessibility and the Storm are in the news then it makes sense to talk to Mike! So Mike joins us this week to talk about the construction issues coming to downtown, why there needs to be more variety in the core to develop a sense of community, and how hosting the Memorial Cup might generate more of that downtown. He will also address the mass resignation of the previous AAC, and what he thinks the City of Guelph learned from that protest. Also, why is Guelph's subreddit such an infinitely interesting place for discussion?  So let's talk about summer in this city on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can follow Mike Ashkewe on the socials @BirdmanDodd on Twitter, and Instagram, and follow him at birdmanguelph on Blue Sky. You can listen to Mike and sometimes me every week on the This Week in Geek podcast, which you can find on all major podcast platforms. And if you see Mike out and about and you have a dog, let me pet your dog… The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

A little bit of FAU Basketball to wade into! Florida Atlantic has a new (but now unfamilar) assistant coach on John Jakus' staff! Ken takes a quick look at Demond Parker and describes the positivity that surrounds the decision. In addition, with Boston College coming to the Elly to tip-off the '25-'26 FAU Basketball season, Ken LaVicka goes in-depth into what it means from a historical perspective and re-lives other high-major visits to Boca. Also, a look back at the all-time hoops series between FAU & BC. Plus, Ken re-litigates the decision to lift the 2023 Final Four banner at Midnight Madness instead of the '23 home opener in light of the NHL's decision to have the Panthers raise their Stanley Cup banner at 5p on a weekday. In another wild turn of events, Conference USA is shedding more teams. It's hardly recognizable to the league FAU was a part of. Ken proposes a team that the AAC may want to look at and laments the current state of FIU, who appears to be just existing. Finally, Ken tries to prepare FAU Football fans for what will likely be a relatively rocky preseason prediction period and explains why it doesn't matter in the slightest.

A common description of antibiotic action aims to classify them between “bactericidal” or “bacteriostatic”. Although these phenomena have robust in vitro foundations, the clinical translation of these concepts is sometimes difficult to ascertain. This controversial topic has important conceptual ramifications to treat severe infections. Today, we will discuss this topic with an expert in field.  Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/3z4BItBrzbk Topics discussed: The definitions of “cidal” vs “static” antibiotics The clinical applicability of the above terms in terms of antibiotic choice and syndromatic approaches antibiotic choices and the controversy between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.  Guest: Brad Spellberg, MD.  Chief Medical Officer at the Los Angeles General Medical Center  Links: ASM and IDSA launch the Interdisciplinary Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance and Innovation (IMARI) in 2026 Watch this session on YouTube This episode is brought to you by the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal.  Visit asm.org/aac to browse issues and/or submit a manuscript.

Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!It's the Fourth of July and Cody Williams is flying solo like a cup without John Buhler but still celebrating. Who is coming to the college football backyard BBQ for July 4th? What will be the day that Alabama, LSU and Notre Dame's seasons will die as Cody Williams isn't a total believer in them? Plus, we take a look at The American to get a quick preseason vibe check on the AAC and we rank the six (maybe?) teams with red, white and blue color schemes like Ole Miss and SMU for the 2025 season. 

In this installment of minisodes, we tackle a common AAC challenge: what happens when professionals don't agree? The BCBA recommends PECS, the SLP suggests a dynamic device… Now what? Welcome to the standard trial of non-collaborative chaos.There are plenty of barriers to AAC collaboration, but also practical steps that can lead to smoother teamwork. The first is building familiarity. AAC can feel overwhelming, but taking time to learn the basics makes collaboration more effective.One key reminder: the device belongs to the student. Everyone on the team should be working toward the same goal—supporting the individual's communication needs across their lifespan.Joint assessment can help, and tools like the free ALP AAC assessment offer a shared starting point. Another useful strategy is to assign a single person to program the device. This reduces confusion and ensures consistency.Most importantly, collaboration keeps families from being caught in the middle. When professionals work together, outcomes improve—for everyone involved.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:10-minute summer series.Free Assessment.Collaborating every step from assessment through intervention.Mentioned In This Episode:ALP AAC Assessment AAC course bundle Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Hi there, and welcome back to the Autism Little Learners podcast! I'm Tara Phillips, and today I'm joined by speech-language pathologist Alexandria Zachos for an amazing conversation all about Gestalt Language Processing. We talk about how our understanding of language development has evolved, the real struggles around prompt dependence, and why a child-led approach is so important—especially for Gestalt language processors. Alexandria shares so many helpful insights, including how we can better support these communicators by building authentic connections and honoring all the ways they express themselves. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, or parent, this episode is packed with practical strategies to encourage spontaneous language and support meaningful communication. I'm so excited for you to hear this one! Takeaways Gestalt Language Processing is a natural way of developing language. Many SLPs are unaware of Gestalt Language Development despite its long history. Prompt dependence often stems from traditional teaching strategies. Child-led therapy is essential for fostering spontaneous communication. Silence can be a powerful tool in therapy sessions. Acknowledging all forms of communication builds trust with children. Using a child's Gestalt can enhance engagement and communication. Therapists should focus on the child's interests to promote language use. It's never too late to shift from prompt dependence to child-led approaches. Building authentic relationships is key to effective communication. Bio Alexandria Zachos is the founder, clinical director, owner, and senior speech-language pathologist with Social Butterfly Inc. and Meaningful Speech® She has been a practicing SLP for 21 years and has worked extensively with gestalt language processors since 2016, utilizing Blanc's Natural Language Acquisition protocol. She educates SLPs, parents, and related professionals through her social media platforms, podcasts, blogs, and her internationally acclaimed courses on http://Meaningfulspeech.com/. When she's not wearing her SLP hat she enjoys reading fiction, walking in the woods and spending time with her husband and daughters around Chicagoland.

Every year, the AAC bestows awards to climbing changemakers and celebrates their accomplishments at the AAC Gala. We'll be announcing those award winners soon! But first, we wanted to give our listeners a sneak peak into the stories awaiting you, through diving into the life and personality of one awardee. We invited the alpinist and climber Kelly Cordes (who will be receiving the Pinnacle Award this year) onto the pod to celebrate his outstanding mountaineering and climbing achievements, and simply to ramble a bit and tell good stories. Though too humble to brag, Cordes is known for his bold ascents, including the Azeem Ridge on Great Trango Tower, a link-up on Cerro Torre, many first ascents in Peru and Alaska, as well as his “disaster style” and “suffer well” philosophy. With a 20-year lens, we have Cordes reflect on the Azeem Ridge story and tell it anew with all that he's learned since then. We also spend some time talking about his writing life, including supporting editing the AAJ for 12 years, and co-writing the bestseller, The Push, with his close friend Tommy Caldwell. Dive in to get just a taste of Cordes' story, and why he's committed to suffering well.

The gang breaks down the Mavericks' move to extend Daniel Gafford for $54.3 million—and what it really means. Is it a long-term commitment or a trade chip in disguise? Skin unpacks the CBA loophole that makes Gafford immediately trade-eligible, and raises the stakes: “They signed him at the exact most amount of money they could give him and still flip him in a trade immediately.”Gafford, Lively, PJ Washington Jr., and now Cooper Flagg—how deep is too deep? Could Gafford be flipped? Is Drew Holiday still in play? What about Chris Paul?As the crew gears up for live draft coverage at the AAC, they leave listeners with a cliffhanger: “Is this the team the Mavs are running back with—or just the beginning of something bigger?”

It's that time of year again–the AAC has invited the editor of Accidents in North American Climbing, Pete Takeda, to hop on the pod to chat about emerging trends in climbing accidents. This year, we're also delighted to have a conversation with Dr. Valerie Karr, a professor at UMASS who has stepped in to help us with a massive data analysis project. Valerie used grounded theory analysis to parse through 20 years of accidents data—picking out patterns in how human behavior contributes to accidents. Patterns like risk normalization, the mentor trap, and attitudes around fixed gear. Dive into the podcast to hear about her findings and learn more about the case studies that stuck out to the editors this year.

Access to communication is the first step—what comes after?   In this episode of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy and Searmi Park sit down with award-winning researcher and advocate Dr. Edlyn Peña to talk about inclusion, spelled communication, and what happens when we stop settling for access and start building actual community.   Dr. Peña shares her journey raising her non-speaking son Diego—from fighting for AAC in preschool to full inclusion in high school using a letterboard. She also opens up about her newest venture: the DREAM Community Center, a post-high school model for neurodivergent teens and adults that centers autonomy, learning, and joy.   We talk about: Why spelled communication is a civil rights issue The real risks (and rewards) of pushing for inclusion in traditional systems How to navigate accusations of influence—and why “proof” standards for non-speakers are inherently unjust Why college doesn't have to follow a neurotypical timeline The power of “crip time,” self-defined success, and post-secondary options beyond degrees   This episode is a grounded and generous look at what advocacy looks like in real life—and what happens when parents, educators, and communities believe that communication is non-negotiable.   Links + Resources Learn more about the DREAM Center: dreamcommunitycenter.org Leaders Around Me by Edlyn Peña: Amazon link Communication Alternatives in Autism (Edlyn Peña, editor): Amazon link Follow Vaish on Instagram: @drvaishsarathy

Drs. Amy Crockett (@amyhcrockett), Ben Ereshefsky (@brainofbpharm), and Pamela Bailey (@pamipenem) join Dr. Julie Ann Justo (@julie_justo) to discuss new treatment strategies for management of intraamniotic infections, also known as chorioamnionitis. They discuss whether it is time to move away from the combination of ampicillin, gentamicin, and/or clindamycin, alternative antibiotic regimens to consider, and stewardship strategies to approach this practice change at a local level.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comThe Rice Owls have had 36 winning seasons since 1914. They once lost 18 games in a row. They have wandered from conference to conference since the death of the SWC, and despite being in a huge city that loves football, they have precious few fans. They are the only college football program to struggle so much that when JFK used them to justify going to the moon, everyone understood the reference. For decades, this picture has barely changed.Why is football so hard at Rice? To get to the bottom of it, Alex and Richard interview two experts: Matthew Bartlett and Carter Spires of The Roost, the internet's top destination for Rice sports news and commentary. Among other things, the group discusses:* How a Rice game day looks* The program's many downs and occasional ups, like its record-setting 2008 team that won 10 games* JFK's famous speech that doubled as a minor dig at the team* How Rice fits into, or sets itself apart from, the city of Houston* Why a school that figured out baseball has never cracked football* The difficulties of recruiting to a school that cares about school* The school's decision to get a bit more serious about football latey* The best possible case for Rice football in the next 10 years* VERDICT TIME: Stay in the AAC, drop to FCS, or stop playing football?This is the second episode in an SZD series, “Why You're Always Bad."

In this episode, we talk to AAC member, alpinist, and ski mountaineer Maddie Miller about a Nepal trip gone wrong. What she hoped was going to be a level-up in her climbing career, turned into a medical evacuation. At 16,200 feet, Maddie started experiencing signs of the extremely life-threatening medical condition HAPE, or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema. Thankfully, she had the ability to call for a helicopter, and get emergency care–all covered by her AAC rescue benefit and medical expense coverage. We dive into her experience with the freaky feeling of gurgling lungs, what other people don't realize about this extremely deadly medical diagnosis, and what it means to feel as fit as possible but still affected by altitude.

Feeling “too young” to start a private practice? My guest today is proof that success in private practice is doable for anyone thinking about it!Today I'm talking with Aurora Baraiolo, SLP and founder of Aurora B's Communication Device Evaluations & SLP Services. Since joining the Start Your Private Practice program in August 2024, Aurora has built a robust caseload while balancing her doctoral studies and growing her AAC-focused private practice that serves both Rhode Island and Massachusetts.The best part is, Aurora only works three and a half days each week! She is doing what she loves, earning a great income, and finding time for rest and recharging her batteries. In this episode, Aurora shares the steps she took to start her private practice, how she grew her caseload, and how private practice has given her the flexibility she's always dreamed of.Aurora Baraiolo is from Massachusetts. She attended Emerson College for graduate school and completed her clinical fellowship in a well-known pediatric outpatient center. After about a year and a half, Aurora was exhausted from the setting and decided to do travel therapy for about another year or so. Upon starting her clinical doctorate, she decided it was time to come home and focus on her long-term goal of having her own practice. She started her private practice journey at the end of August 2024, and in just 6 months, has generated a full caseload seeing her preferred population! Aurora is passionate about AAC and getting students devices that best fit their needs. Taking her career into her own hands was the best decision she could have made and she is grateful for she did!In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How Aurora filled her caseload lightning fastLearning about the business side of private practiceThe reality of balancing entrepreneurship and academiaWhy she left traditional roles to serve a much-needed niche in ASCHow she helps fellow generalist SLPs feel more empowered with their ASC clientsThe kind of success and balance Aurora has found is what so many people are craving.

In this episode, Rachel Madel and Chris Bugaj recap their experiences at ATIA 2025, highlighting the value of community-building during the pre-conference and the growing impact of generative AI in AAC and assistive technology. They discuss exciting new tools like Symbol Creator AI and Flex Speak, and reflect on key sessions around policy advocacy, emphasizing the power of personal stories in influencing change. The episode underscores the importance of collaboration, innovation, and using your voice to make a difference in the assistive tech space.   Key Ideas This Episode:   Collaborative Learning and Connection at Pre-Conference and Sessions Chris & Rachel emphasized how the ATIA pre-conference fostered rich conversations and collaboration, particularly for professionals who often feel isolated in the AAC field. Participants valued the chance to share insights, ask questions, and build lasting relationships. The extended format of 1.5 days allowed for deeper dives into topics like coaching and core AAC strategies, enhancing both learning and community-building.   Generative AI and Accessibility Innovations A major theme was the evolving role of generative AI in assistive technology. Presentations explored how AI could enhance AAC use—like suggesting dialogue based on context or location (e.g., at Starbucks)—and improve communication speed and flexibility. Tools like Microsoft's Accessibility Insights, the Flex Speak app for multilingual AAC, and Symbol Creator AI from Global Symbols were highlighted as promising developments that support more inclusive and customizable communication.   Empowerment Through Policy, Advocacy, and Storytelling Amidst concerns over funding and administrative changes, attendees were encouraged to advocate for assistive technology by directly engaging policymakers. A standout session by ATIA's policy advisor Laura Kaloi underscored the impact of personal stories in influencing legislation. The episode closed with a reminder that every professional's and user's voice matters in shaping future access and innovation in the field.   Help us develop new content and keep the podcast going strong!
