Mealtimes are full of natural opportunities for communication, connection, and friendship, but we may be overlooking just how valuable those moments can be.Dr. Katherine Bateman joins me to explore Snack Talk, a simple visual communication support designed to help learners engage with peers during meals and snacks. We talk about using personalized questions and visual choices to make communication accessible across modalities, including speech, gestures, AAC, and other forms of communication.What I love about Snack Talk is how practical it is. We can build visuals around what our learners genuinely enjoy, rotate topics to keep them meaningful, and use prompting to support engagement without making implementation complicated. Katie also shares how this approach can help educators become more intentional during typically unstructured times while creating opportunities for SLPs, BCBAs, teachers, and paraprofessionals to collaborate.Ultimately, this is about more than answering social questions. It is about belonging, friendship, and giving learners meaningful ways to connect with the people around them.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why mealtimes are an underused opportunity for social communicationHow Snack Talk supports different communication modalitiesWays to individualize visual supports around interests, culture, and preferencesUsing Snack Talk to foster peer relationships and interdisciplinary collaborationMentioned In This Episode:Visual Supports to Increase Conversation Engagement for Preschoolers With Autism Spectrum Disorder During MealtimesSnack TalkHaring Center for Inclusive Education, University of WashingtonSay It With Me by Rose GriffinAAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

How can higher education rebuild its relationship with the public in an era of heightened political polarization, shifting financial models, and rapid technological disruption? In this episode of Trending in Ed, host Mike Palmer welcomes back Jeremy C. Young, Senior Advisor at the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), to discuss the foundational new report: Advancing Public Trust in Higher Education: The Trust Agenda. As part of our ongoing Trending in Higher Ed series—featuring insights from leaders like Eddie Watson (AI & pedagogy), Brian Rosenberg (Whatever It Is, I'm Against It), and Elliot Felix (The Connected College)—this episode explores how campus leaders can move past reactive crisis management and actively cultivate trustworthy relationships across their communities. Jeremy breaks down AAC&U's five-point framework, offering actionable, practical strategies for institutional leaders, faculty, and advocates. Featured Reference & Key Highlights:

What if someone's inability to speak has caused the world to underestimate everything happening inside them? I'm joined by attorney, pastor, and Decoding Cody author Joe Infranco to share what changed when Cody, a young man with non-speaking autism, began communicating through spelling. What started as a breakthrough in understanding communication soon raised much bigger questions about autism, consciousness, science, and the spiritual world. Joe shared the evidence that challenged his skepticism, the research surrounding spelling and AAC, and extraordinary accounts involving Jesus, angels, prayer, and a mysterious place known as "The Hill." Throughout it all, he returns to one standard: extraordinary claims should be examined carefully, and with discernment.

Like many social institutions, higher education has seen public trust erode. AAC&U recently released The Trust Agenda, a report on how higher education can advance trust through 5 pillars of practical shifts. In this conversation, two authors of the report join a senior student affairs officer to reflect on the erosion of trust in higher education, how it has fallen, and where we go from here. The post The Trust Agenda: A Framework for Advancing Public Trust in Higher Education appeared first on Student Affairs NOW.

Have you ever picked up an assessment and thought, “This still isn't giving me the information I need?”That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to the Meaningful Outcomes Treatment and Assessment Scale, or MOTAS. Dr. Anika Hoybjerg shares how she and co-creator Casey Barron developed a comprehensive assessment that keeps meaningful, individualized outcomes at the center.What immediately stood out to me is how practical and approachable the MOTAS feels. It addresses areas like communication, flexibility, social behavior, transitions, personal care, leisure, self-awareness, and perspective taking. There is also an Early Learner version that incorporates developmental milestones and AAC considerations.I especially love the LOOP interviews, which bring clients, caregivers, and other professionals directly into treatment planning. Instead of assuming what matters most, we can ask, prioritize, and continue checking whether our goals are actually meaningful. That collaboration can make such a difference in creating functional treatment plans that support independence and quality of life.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How the MOTAS fills gaps Dr. Hoybjerg noticed in existing assessmentsUsing LOOP interviews to prioritize meaningful goals with clients and caregiversHow the MOTAS supports individualized, collaborative treatment planningWho can use the MOTAS and why it was designed to be approachable for cliniciansMentioned In This Episode:Get the MOTASABA Education CenterSay It With Me by Rose GriffinAAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Building a positive connection with autistic students is one of the most important things we can focus on at the beginning of a new school year. That's why I'm making connection the focus of Week 2 of our Back to School Foundations series. There's something about that second week of school, too. The first few days are behind you, the excitement and whirlwind of getting everyone through the door has settled just a little, and you start realizing, I have a whole room full of children I'm still getting to know. And that takes time. For six weeks, I'm revisiting some of the most important conversations from the Autism Little Learners Podcast and bringing them back at the time of year when you may need them most. This week's conversation originally aired way back in August 2023, during the very first year of the podcast, so there's a pretty good chance you haven't heard this one before. And even if you have, I think it's worth coming back to as you get to know a new group of students. Last week, we talked about what needs to be in place before we really begin teaching. This week, we're slowing down and looking more closely at connection. When a new student walks into your classroom, you might already have an IEP, evaluation reports, goals, and plenty of information about what you're supposed to teach. But none of that replaces getting to know the actual child in front of you. In this episode, I'm sharing simple ways to foster a positive connection with your autistic students and why taking time to learn about their interests, preferences, communication, and cues isn't taking time away from teaching. It becomes part of the foundation for everything you'll do together. Because connection isn't something we check off during the first week of school and move on from. It's something we continue building all year long. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why connection deserves our attention before we become too focused on goals and academics Simple ways to begin building trust with a new autistic student Why a child's interests can be an important doorway into connection How following a child's lead helps us learn more about their communication and interaction Why not every interaction needs to become a teaching opportunity How noticing all forms of communication helps us better understand the child in front of us Why respecting a child's communication, including "no," "stop," and "all done," matters How taking time to build a relationship supports learning throughout the school year Key Takeaways Connection isn't separate from teaching. The time we spend getting to know a child gives us information that can make future learning more meaningful and accessible. An IEP tells us about a student, but it doesn't replace knowing them. Notice what makes them smile, what they move toward, what they avoid, and how they communicate. Interests can be a bridge to connection. Instead of always saving a favorite item or activity as a reward, we can join children in something they already enjoy. Not every interaction needs an agenda. Sometimes we can simply play, imitate, notice, laugh, and enjoy being together without immediately turning the moment into a lesson. Communication comes in many forms. Spoken words, AAC, gestures, facial expressions, body movements, sounds, scripts, reaching, moving toward something, and moving away can all communicate important information. Honoring communication builds trust. When children learn that the adults around them notice and respond to what they're communicating, we're strengthening the relationship. Connection takes time. It isn't a first-week-of-school activity. It's something we continue building and protecting throughout the year. Try This Choose one student you're still getting to know and spend some time simply observing what they enjoy. Notice what they move toward when they have a choice and what they move away from. Join them in something they already love without adding a demand or immediately turning it into a lesson. Look for communication you may have previously missed, including gestures, movement, sounds, AAC, or actions. At the end of the day, instead of only asking, "What did I teach today?" ask yourself, "What did I learn about this child today?"

I still remember what it felt like to walk into a therapy session and have no idea how to move forward.Early in my career, I was working with autistic learners with complex communication and behavioral needs, and I quickly realized graduate school had not prepared me for everything I was seeing. I wanted to help, but I didn't always have practical strategies I could use when a learner struggled to attend, engage, or communicate. That experience sent me searching for better answers and ultimately shaped the way I practice today.More than 20 years later, I want clinicians to have something I desperately needed back then: support, practical education, and a community that helps you feel confident about what to do next.That's why I created the ABA Speech Connection. It brings speech therapists, BCBAs, and RBTs together to learn evidence-based strategies, earn CEUs, collaborate, and immediately apply what they're learning with autistic students. From AAC and functional communication to clinical roundtables and live learning, everything is designed to make professional development practical and useful.You don't have to spend hours searching for your next CEU or wonder whether you're doing enough. You can have a place to learn, ask questions, and keep growing alongside professionals who care about helping every student communicate with the world.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why my early clinical experiences shaped the ABA Speech ConnectionHow ongoing education can build confidence and strengthen clinical practicePractical learning around AAC, communication, and evidence-based interventionHow the Connection supports individuals and professional teamsMentioned In This Episode:Say It With Me by Rose GriffinAAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

This is Week 1 of 6 in the Back to School Foundations replay series. While I'm in Portland helping my daughter move into her first house, I'm revisiting six episodes I think will help most as you head back to school. New season starts Tuesday, September 29th, with five weeks on AAC for AAC Awareness Month. So much of what goes wrong in September is really about something that was never put in place in August. Three things. That's it. Here's what they are. I'm starting this series at the very beginning, with the framework I built to answer the question I get more than any other: where do I even start? The answer is not with the IEP goals. It's with regulate, connect, and routines. Those are the three things that have to be in place before teaching begins, and teach is the fourth pillar that everything else holds up. We all want to jump straight to teach. Sit at the table, trace the name, sort the colors. But a child who isn't regulated can't take in what you're offering, and a child who doesn't trust you yet has no reason to try. The framework is fluid. You'll move back and forth between all four pillars every day, student by student. A child can be doing beautifully in a teaching activity and be dysregulated two minutes later, and at that point we set our agenda aside and go back to what we know helps that child. That's not a detour from the work. That is the work. We'll talk about: Why regulation has to come before expectation, and what interoception has to do with it How to build connection with children you don't know yet, without going into teacher mode How predictable routines lower anxiety and grow independence The four pillars of the Autism Little Learners Framework: Regulate, Connect, Routines, Teach In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why a dysregulated child is not in a position to take in new learning Why true self-regulation doesn't develop until well past early childhood, and what to do instead What "teacher mode" sounds like, and why the questions get in the way How to join a child's play without taking it over or directing it Why speaking is not the only way to communicate, and what multimodal communication looks like Key Takeaways: Regulation before expectation. If a child isn't regulated, the lesson isn't landing. Co-regulation is the starting point at the early childhood level, not self-regulation. You have to reach the child before you can teach the child. No significant learning takes place without a significant relationship. Speaking is not the only way to communicate. Every child is already communicating. Predictable routines reduce anxiety and build independence. The framework is fluid. You'll move back and forth between all four pillars every single day.

Narratives and movement are better together, and today's episode has the research to prove it. I'm breaking down a preschool study that found combining movement with storytelling produces bigger gains in language and motor skills than either approach alone, and I'm walking you through exactly how to bring this into your own sessions. In this episode, you'll learn: 1-Why narratives are the "kettlebell" of intervention: hitting vocabulary, syntax, comprehension, verbal working memory, and social pragmatics all at once 2-The preschool research showing combined movement + storytelling beats movement-only or storytelling-only conditions for both language and motor outcomes 3-How a simple "how do you..." task-oriented story (no imagination required!) works just as well as a made-up story 4-My go-to tier-two conjunction words (first, next, then, lastly, because) and how to pair them with gestures to build automaticity 5-How to use dynamic cueing to shift the "locus of control" so the child becomes the storyteller, not you 6-Three easy ways to scale the task up or down (simple sentence → complex sentence → multi-step paragraph) to keep kids engaged without frustration

Deena Nathan's five year old son Hayden is autistic and non-speaking, and he's fluent on his AAC device. In this episode she walks through a day that starts with therapy at 8am, the win she's still not over, and the one thing she wants people to understand about a kid who doesn't talk. She's also honest about something most people won't say out loud. She has real support, good family, friends who get it, and it's still lonely. Both of those things are true at once, and that might be the most useful thing in this conversation.

What happens when collaboration is built into a practice from the very beginning? The results can be powerful for clinicians, families, and most importantly, the children we serve.I love hearing how different professionals find their path, and Colleen Lama's story is such a great reminder that unexpected career moments can lead to something even better. As both a speech-language pathologist and BCBA, she shares how becoming dual certified helped her better support autistic learners and inspired her to create a practice where speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA truly work together. We also talk about the realities of growing a multidisciplinary practice, from navigating insurance challenges to building a team that values collaboration and family-centered care. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to provide coordinated services under one roof, I think you'll find plenty of practical insights and encouragement here.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why Colleen became both an SLP and BCBA, and how that shaped her careerThe benefits of offering speech, OT, and ABA in one collaborative practiceChallenges that come with multidisciplinary care and how strong communication keeps teams alignedHow the ABA Speech Connection supports ongoing learning for SLPs, BCBAs, and RBTsMentioned In This Episode:Lama Pediatric TherapySelective Mutism, Anxiety and Communication AAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Asian, Asian American, and the Making of a Center: A Conversation with Jane Hong In this episode, Daniel and Yulee welcome Dr. Jane Hong, professor of history at Occidental College and author of the award-winning Opening the Gates to Asia, for a conversation that's part of a micro-series marking the Asian American Center's 10th anniversary—tracing the histories that came before us. Jane walks through the surprising, often-overlooked story of Asian American evangelicalism, and Fuller Seminary's complicated role in it. The conversation covers: How Jane's research originated—partly from a 2017 gathering of Asian American Christians processing the 2016 election, and partly from trying to understand her own family members who voted for Trump across three elections Why anti-communism, generational trauma, and disinformation help explain (without excusing) political conservatism in many Asian immigrant communities—and how to hold disagreement with grace Fuller's "vaunted" place in white evangelical history, and the untold story of its growth since the 1980s through Asian, Asian American, and international student enrollment The institutional tension between "Asian" and "Asian American" identity at Fuller—including the assumption that Korean international programs could simply stand in for Asian American ministry Key figures and flashpoints: the 1965 Immigration Act, the 1992 LA Uprising (Saigu), the "Silent Exodus" article, InterVarsity pioneers like Jeanette Yep, and the funding disparities between Black, Hispanic, and Asian pastoral programs at Fuller Jane's hope for the next generation: that Asian American history becomes a normal part of the curriculum, not a side note—and that understanding racial structures helps Christians navigate the world with wisdom, not blindness A rich, detail-filled conversation for anyone wanting to understand how Asian American evangelicalism took shape—and why Fuller has been more central to that story than most people realize.

Feeling unsure about AAC? You're not alone. In this episode, Hallie sits down with Cassidy, a speech therapist and owner of Around the Spectrum Therapy in Pennsylvania, to talk through what makes AAC feel so overwhelming and how to move past the "getting it right" mentality. Cassidy shares her journey from knowing next to nothing about AAC to building a robust vocabulary approach with clients from as young as 17 months, plus practical ways to coach parents and teachers who feel stuck.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why AAC feels overwhelming for so many SLPs, from tech overload to inconsistent caseload exposure The mindset shift from "perfect system" to just diving in and learning alongside the child Robust vocabulary vs. simple grids, and reframing AAC as language input, not just output How to structure sessions around a child's actual interests, including working with action words and motor-driven kids Coaching parents and professionals to focus on small, sustainable wins instead of all-or-nothing use Here's what we learned: AAC should be treated as another tool in the therapy toolbox, not a separate, high-pressure system Starting with robust vocabulary access early, even with very young or emerging communicators, can pay off long-term Small, specific wins (one word, one moment) build more momentum than pushing for constant device use Finding genuine joy and connection with the child matters more than following a rigid AAC plan Meeting parents and teachers where they are is just as important as meeting the student where they areLearn more about Cassidy Kutchma: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speechwithcassidy/ Website: https://www.speechwithcassidy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aroundthespectrumtherapy Website: https://www.aroundthespectrumtherapy.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aroundthespectrumtherapy Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

Geoff Powter is this year's winner of the H. Adams Carter Literary Award, and it's clear why—mountain literature is the key to his heart. In this episode, we talk with Geoff about his prolific writing career, his search for the distinct Canadian climbing voice, and starting the magazine Polar Circus in order to find a home for it. We cover his earliest discoveries of climbing through mountain stories, and his thirteen years editing the Canadian Alpine Journal, as well as 27 years leading the "Voices of Adventure" interview series at the Banff Mountain Book Festival. Geoff sketches how these formative storytelling experiences have led him to writing several books, including his recent biography of Jim Donini, called "Survival Is Not Assured." We explore the philosophical and psychological heartbeat of climbing stories, and dive into how climbing literature evolved from a tone that was all seriousness and sacredness to embracing profanity and grit. Dive in to hear from one of the most formative voices in mountain literature today. You can hear more from Geoff, and the other awardees, at the AAC's Annual Gala.

Does your caseload include kids who only want the piggy bank, the ball chute, or the same three dinosaur figures? This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how I move children out of the cause-effect and sensory-toy stage and into richer, more complex play, without losing the relationship or the child's motivation along the way. I'm sharing a three-step bridging process I use to expand play repertoires, build executive function, and grow narrative and language skills, all while still honoring what the child already loves. What we cover: • Why variety matters: the research behind why a broader repertoire of toys and play experiences leads to better long-term outcomes • Step 1: Build rapport first: using a parent input form to learn a child's favorite toys, shows, and characters, and why front-loading relationship pays off • Step 2: Bridge, don't replace: three concrete ways to bridge high-interest and sensory activities into task-oriented movement activities: ◦ Blending sensory play (like a beans/mud bin) into a structured task ◦ Adding movement breaks to build attention and increase vocalizations ◦ Swapping the theme while keeping the structure the same • Step 3: Why task-oriented movement activities work: how they naturally build the problem → plan → action → check sequence of executive function, and lay the foundation for strong narrative skills (vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and verbal working memory) • A real example using 'The Little Blue Truck' activity from my SIS membership, including how I use songs, stickers, and movement to keep kids engaged • How to fade supports over time as kids get comfortable with the new routine Links Mentioned in This Episode

Comparing vocabulary instruction for children who use AAC is not a one size fits all decision, and that is exactly what makes this conversation so valuable.Vocabulary intervention is one of the topics I get asked about most often, and there is still so much to learn about the best ways to support children who use AAC. I'm joined by Dr. Courtney Trevino to unpack her research comparing explicit vocabulary instruction with more naturalistic, incidental teaching. We explore what each approach looks like in practice, how vocabulary was selected for the study, and what the findings can teach us as clinicians.One strategy that really stood out to me was navigation description, talking out loud through the path you take to find a word on an AAC system. It is such a practical way to support learning, while also helping parents, teachers, RBTs, and other team members become more confident using AAC. I walked away thinking differently about how I teach vocabulary, and I think you will too. If you are looking for practical, research-backed ideas that you can start using right away, this conversation is full of them.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why explicit vocabulary instruction led to stronger word learning outcomesHow navigation description can support both AAC users and communication partnersChoosing vocabulary for early AAC learners, including developmental versus core wordsPractical ways to blend structured teaching into everyday therapyMentioned In This Episode:Comparing Two Vocabulary Interventions for Children Who Use Augmentative and Alternative CommunicationDr. Courtney TrevinoAAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

To kick off our 10th anniversary micro-series celebrating the Asian American Center at Fuller Seminary, we sit down with Dr. Tim Tseng, Asian American church historian and director of the Asian American Christian History Institute (AACHI). Tim takes us back to 1972 and the founding of PACTS (the Pacific and Asian American Center for Theology and Strategies), tracing a lineage of Asian American Christian leadership that runs decades deeper than any single institution's anniversary can capture. The origins of PACTS: a 1972 gathering of Bay Area pastors trained in mainline Protestant seminaries who began questioning assimilation and erasure within their denominations The newly republished PACTS Reader, edited by Roy Sano and now available through Claremont Press—the story behind bringing this out-of-print, historically significant text back into circulation AACHI's mission and the "pearl divers" metaphor for surfacing hard-to-find Asian American Christian stories The Third World Liberation Front strikes at San Francisco State (1968) and the birth of ethnic studies as a backdrop to the Asian American Christian movement How the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power shaped Asian American Christian consciousness, and PACTS' relationship to (and distinction from) liberation theology The story of Mabel Lee, a pioneering unordained church leader and suffrage advocate in New York's Chinatown at the turn of the century The danger of "Columbusing"—claiming to discover ideas and movements that our elders were already engaging with over fifty years ago Tim's reflection on being forced out of theological academia in 2005, and what nearly 20 years in local church ministry taught him about listening to God's people at the grassroots We hope you enjoy this series!

If you work with children who use high-tech AAC, this episode is a can't-miss. Learn a simple, research-backed framework for turning any storybook into a rich language-learning opportunity for kids using speech-generating devices. Before diving into strategy, we tackle the mindset shift so many clinicians need around high-tech AAC: you don't need a training course or a cheat sheet to get started. Think of the device like a hotel remote control. The fastest way to learn where everything is: just start pushing buttons. From there, we break down the MODEL method, a five-step framework for using AAC during storybook reading: M – Model: Provide a completion prompt to get the child to the right "channel" on their device. O – Opportunity: Step back and give the child space to independently find the symbol. D – Demonstrate: If needed, offer a prompt (like pointing) to help the child locate the target. E – Expand: Add a "plus one," a new word or concept that builds on what the child found. L – Like: Model a comment or opinion, inviting social language beyond simple requesting. We also cover... • How to use backward chaining so children build independence over time • Why fluency with a child's AAC device matters just as much as fluency in any shared language • How to layer in multimodal supports, including sentence strips, printed words, and 3D objects, to reinforce vocabulary • A real walkthrough using the book Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell Take Action: A free AAC Implementation Toolkit is waiting for you! If you're a parent or professional who has worked with a child using a high-tech AAC device or tablet-based AAC app in the past year, your experience matters. The survey takes 15–20 minutes, and your answers will directly shape resources used by SLPs, educators, and families.

Across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, workers, shopkeepers, and youth are mobilizing by the hundreds of thousands against the repressive Pakistani regime.Under the leadership of the Joint Awami Action Committees, months long general strikes and mass sit-ins show that the people are ready to democratically seize power and intervene into the course of history.The next step is for the Awami Action Committees, the organization at the head of the revolution, to officially take power.In this presentation, Renu Brar of the RCP explains the situation.

That child who waits for you to start every sentence? In this replay I sit down with SLP Alexandria Zachos — founder of Meaningful Speech — to talk about how years of prompting quietly create prompt dependence, and how silence, connection, and a child-led approach help gestalt language processors find their own spontaneous voice. Prompting doesn't lead to spontaneous language. Connection, silence, and meeting a child where they are do. Gestalt language processing (GLP) is a normal, natural way of developing language — just a different path than the analytic, word-by-word route most of us were taught. Alex walks us through what it actually is, how the stages unfold from delayed echolalia to flexible, novel grammar, and why so many kids we've labeled "echolalic" or "scripting" are simply gestalt language processors who need a different kind of support. We also dig into the hard truth about prompting — why fill-in-the-blank, cloze phrases, and always initiating for a child can lead to prompt dependence — and what to do instead: natural language modeling, honoring all communication, and trusting silence to make room for language to emerge. We'll talk about: ●  what gestalt language processing is — and why it isn't a disorder ●  the six stages of gestalt language development, from delayed echolalia to complex grammar ●  how prompting and compliance-based strategies create prompt dependence over time ●  why our ultimate goal is spontaneous, flexible, multimodal communication ●  how silence, connection, and being a trusted communication partner change everything ●  why it's never too late for an older child who has become prompt dependent In This Episode, You'll Learn •  What gestalt language processing is, and how it differs from analytic language development •  How the stages unfold — delayed echolalia, mitigated echolalia, the "magic" word-freeing stage, and grammar •  Why delayed echolalia is always communicating something, even when it isn't literal •  How to do "detective work" to figure out what a child's gestalt actually means •  Why years of prompting and cloze phrases lead to prompt dependence, not spontaneous language •  What targeted natural language modeling looks like across communicative functions •  Why "the change starts with us," not with fixing the child •  How silence and the OWL approach (Observe, Wait, Listen) create space for language to emerge •  Why acknowledging all communication — a smile, a nod, a repeat — builds the trust language grows from Key Takeaways •  Gestalt language processing is a natural way of developing language, not a disorder •  Delayed echolalia is meaningful — it's communicating something worth investigating •  Prompting does not build spontaneous communicators; child-led support does •  Our goal is spontaneous, flexible, novel communication — including through AAC •  Change starts with what we model and how we respond, not with the child •  Silence is a strategy: spontaneous language emerges when the pressure is off •  Acknowledge all communication to build the relationship and trust •  Use a child's own gestalts — and put them into AAC — for instant buy-in •  It's never too late for an older, prompt-dependent child Try This •  Notice how often you prompt, question, or fill in the blank — then try saying less •  Use the OWL approach: observe, wait, and listen before you speak •  Let silence sit; follow the child's lead and join what they love •  Acknowledge every attempt to communicate with a repeat, a smile, or a nod •  Model language naturally instead of asking the child to perform it •  When you hear a gestalt, do some detective work to learn what it means •  Add a child's gestalts into their AAC device for automatic buy-in •  With an older prompt-dependent child, plan low-pressure sessions to rebuild trust first Related Resources & Links

Bone Symphony—Poetry as Spiritual Practice: A Conversation with Michelle Phương Hồ Daniel and Yulee welcome Michelle Phương Hồ—a Vietnamese American poet based in New Haven and one of Daniel's former students at Fuller — for a conversation about her debut poetry collection, Bone Symphony (releasing October 13th, endorsed by Ocean Vuong). The conversation explores: How the book's title emerged from a single cacophonous poem weaving together her grandfather's experience in postwar Vietnamese reeducation camps, asylum testimony, and questions of public memory—and its resonance with Ezekiel's Valley of Dry Bones Why revision, for Michelle, is a spiritual practice—including the story of a poem addressed to "the enemy" that only became true once she recognized her own desire to win, rather than to love Her unconventional path into poetry: from a college Asian American writing collective, to narrative breaking down into fragments, to a formative writing class with poet Solmaz Sharif Why she believes she's writing to preserve a kind of remembering—drawing on a story about Vietnamese language surviving Chinese colonization through "a critical mass of rememberers" The necessity of leaving gaps in language—and why trying to fully explain grief or wonder can betray the experience itself Her unexpected, dramatic conversion story at a college church service in New Haven, after a season of spiritual searching that included a Buddhist meditation practice Navigating faith within a predominantly white Vineyard community—finding theological resonance in the integration of word and spirit, while wrestling with not fully belonging The poem "After Salvation" and the disorientation of being "rescued"—both as a refugee and as a Christian—without a clear roadmap for what comes next Writing prompts to borrow for your own journaling: Alexander Chee's "What don't you want to know?" and Bhanu Kapil's "Who is responsible for the suffering of your mother?" A reflective, generous conversation about poetry as a spiritual practice—and an invitation to anyone (poet or not) to bring more curiosity and surrender to their own writing and prayer life.

Topics covered: Steve's surprising road to faith: a devout atheist in college, a frightening drug experience, a season of vulnerability with a therapist, a breakthrough moment of compassion with his sister, and finally—fittingly—becoming a Christian through reading a comparative world religions book The origin of Little Lights: meeting an eighth grader who couldn't read a Dr. Seuss book, and the heartbreak that became the spark for a ministry Why Little Lights teaches anti-racism and "race literacy" classes rooted in scripture—and how interest in that teaching has shifted with the political climate, from post-Trayvon Martin to the George Floyd surge to today's pushback Unpacking the model minority myth: how U.S. immigration policy handpicked certain Asian immigrants for "honorary white" status, bypassing the redlining, segregation, and policing that shaped Black communities—and how that history gets erased into a story about "family values" alone The challenge and necessity of being a Korean American leader serving primarily in a Black community for decades—gaining trust, navigating being seen as an outsider, and inviting more Korean American Christians into the work A theology of anger: why Steve believes you can't fully love without it, and how to direct anger toward justice rather than letting it curdle into bitterness or depression Hard-earned lessons on healthy ministry growth—including advice from Bruce Main of Urban Promise about not getting desperate for help—and Steve's conviction that community health, not budget size or social media followers, should be ministry's true metric A glimpse into partnering in ministry with his wife, Mary, and raising a family while doing intense, emotionally demanding work A grounded, hard-won conversation from someone who has done the long, unglamorous work of cross-racial ministry for decades—and has the wisdom (and humility) to show for it.

First, returning starter Reese Baker has a brand new offensive line around him. Reese talks about going from battling for a starting spot to being the anchor of the offensive line room in just one calendar year, and what the new group has been doing to bond off the field. Then, Warren Roberts has opportunity knocking at the bandit spot. The NOLA kid on how he's taking the next step, and what it would mean to play such a key position for his hometown team.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Hannah sits down with Riley, a Speech-Language Pathologist at Little Light House, to explore communication strategies for kids with an Autism diagnosis with a focus on AAC, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Riley walks parents through early signs of communication need, practical at-home strategies, and how to choose the right speech therapy clinic. She also tackles one of the biggest myths around AAC: that it will prevent speech. If your child is struggling to communicate or you've recently been introduced to AAC and don't know where to start, this episode will leave you feeling informed and encouraged. Every kid deserves the chance to just be a kid.At Little Light House, that belief drives everything we do. We provide tuition-free education and therapeutic services, rooted in Christ-centered care, for children with special needs and the families who love them.Learn More: https://www.littlelighthouse.orgLet's stay connected:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/llhtulsaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/llhtulsaBe part of the story:Give: https://www.littlelighthouse.org/give-helpJoin THECREW: https://www.littlelighthouse.org/the-crew

The baseline premise of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) rests on the fundamental principle that communication is an inherent human right rather than a privilege to be earned through baseline cognitive compliance. Too often, school systems and clinical providers inadvertently stall access to verbal alternatives by requiring non-speaking students to prove communicative readiness or complete repetitive testing metrics. Brenda Del Monte, an AAC specialist and author, alongside Sarah Kinsella, an assistive technology specialist, join Emily Kircher-Morris to discuss ways to reverse this traditional framework. They work to dismantle the clinical assumptions that hinder expressive access. TAKEAWAYS Communication should be an absolute human right that must be provided without pre-qualifying conditions, compliance mandates, or prerequisites of demonstrated cognitive readiness. Implementing top-down testing protocols on assistive devices turns natural expression into an artificial performance. The usage of hand-over-hand physical guidance to steer a student's selection on an assistive device overrides physical autonomy and lessens authenticity. Changing communicative environments requires a baseline differentiation between a user's current physical selection skills and their potential capabilities. Introducing descriptive, speech-generating tools does not reduce a child's internal drive to develop natural verbal language, and actively enhances social interaction. Our latest CE course for mental health professionals is available now online. It's called The New 3 Rs: Mindfulness-based Resilience, Regulation, and Relationships, and is facilitated by Dr Christopher Willard. In this course, we explore how resilience develops, what stress and overwhelm do to the developing nervous system, and why relational safety is not simply a nice addition to an intervention. The training video is available now, and is worth 1.5 APA- and NBCC-approved CE hours. Click here to take the course now.

We learned in grad school that working on joint attention and language will lead to speech development. But for the estimated 30% of autistic children who never develop functional, fluent speech, that's not the whole story. Dr. Karen Chenausky, PhD, CCC-SLP, is a speech scientist, SLP, and director of the SPAN Lab at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. She takes us beneath the iceberg to explore the hidden contributors to speech development in autism, including the motor-speech disorder component our field rarely talks about. In this episode, you'll learn: -Challenges that can limit spoken language in autism include joint attention, receptive language, speech perception, sensory differences, fine/gross motor cascades, and motor speech challenges -Minimally speaking vs. minimally verbal vs. pre-verbal: what each term really means, and why we wait until about age 5 to classify a child as 'minimally verbal' -How Dr. Chenausky identifies suspected Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) in minimally speaking children using Iuzzini-Siegel's (2015) criteria, plus the catch-22 when a child doesn't produce enough speech to diagnose speech motor disorders -What to evaluate in a minimally speaking preschooler: the motor component of speech, language comprehension and expression, nonverbal IQ, and gross/fine motor skills -An invaluable assessment tool you may not know SLPs can use: the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales for capturing fine and gross motor performance -Auditory-Motor Mapping Training (AMMT), the intonation-based treatment inspired by Melodic Intonation Therapy, and the promising findings on who benefits most (hint: phonemic repertoire and readiness-to-learn skills mattered) -JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation), Connie Kasari's play-based intervention that builds the prerequisite skills for language -A Monday-morning session framework: three-tiered tasks (mastered, on-the-cusp, challenge) that keep the child at a 70-80% success point in their zone of proximal development -Writing pivotal speech goals that expand the phonemic repertoire while diversifying language expression -When to prioritize robust AAC, because every child deserves access to all the ways of communicating -Dr. Chenausky's call to the field to develop more reliable methods to assess nonverbal IQ and receptive language in children with motor praxis and visual processing/visualmotor challenges Research referenced in this episode Chenausky, K., Norton, A., Tager-Flusberg, H., & Schlaug, G.

My non-speaking three-year-old student told me "This is boring" on his AAC device. That moment changed everything for me, because that is communication, and that is competence. It's exactly what today's episode is about: presuming competence, an idea that quietly shapes everything else we do with young autistic children. Because so often, the ability was there all along. What was missing wasn't the child's capacity. It was the tools, and an adult willing to believe there was something worth saying. This conversation explores what presuming competence actually means, why it matters so much in the preschool years, the prerequisite myths that hold kids back, and the practical shifts that help us act like the capable child is already there. We'll talk about: ● what presuming competence really means ● why the preschool years set a child's trajectory ● the "prerequisite trap" and why there are no readiness skills for communication ● why speech is not the same as intelligence ● what presuming competence looks like in a real classroom ● why communication should never have to be earned Because we don't know what a child knows until they have the tools to tell us. In This Episode, You'll Learn • What it actually means to presume competence, and why it's a starting posture, not a reward • Why the false belief that "speech equals intelligence" causes real harm • How the way we describe a child can become a self-fulfilling prophecy • Why there are no prerequisites for communication, no pointing, matching, or "safe behavior" required • How lowered expectations in early childhood can follow a child for a lifetime • Practical ways to presume competence with non-speaking and minimally speaking children • Why cognitive testing can dramatically underestimate what a child knows • What it means to make communication available rather than something a child has to earn Key Takeaways • Presuming competence means believing in a child's capacity before they can prove it • Non-speaking does not mean non-understanding • Speech is not the same as intelligence • There are no readiness skills required for robust AAC • Children grow toward the expectations we hold for them • We don't talk about a child in front of them, because we presume they understand • Behavior almost always has deeper meaning than a few simple categories • Communication is a right, not something a child has to earn Try This • Pick one child whose abilities you may be quietly underestimating, and shift one assumption this week • Talk to every child as if they understand every word, because they very well might • Stop talking about a child in front of them, even with co-teachers and paras • Follow a child's deep interests instead of restricting them • Model language without requiring the child to perform it back • Make room for silence, simply being a calm, trusting presence • Hold cognitive test scores loosely, and presume there is more inside than the test could reach Related Resources & Links AAC In The Classroom AAC- What Most Educators Miss  Preschool Autism Summit Registration- Grab your free ticket to the 3rd Annual Preschool Autism Summit (Happening Now) Autism Little Learners Membership When we presume competence, we stop waiting for children to prove they're ready and start making sure they always have the opportunity to communicate. Our job was never to decide when a child is ready. It's to make sure the door is always open. And once you start seeing every child as already capable, it changes everything about the way you teach.  

The future our learners build should reflect what matters to them, not just the goals others set for them. We explore what it means to include client voice in future planning through every stage of development, from early choice making to meaningful participation in transition planning and adulthood.We discuss why learner assent, autonomy, and self advocacy should be taught from an early age and how everyday opportunities to communicate preferences help prepare learners for bigger life decisions. We also look at common barriers that can limit participation, including assumptions about communication, caregiver priorities, and time constraints, while sharing practical ways to create more person centered planning.We also talk about balancing family perspectives with learner independence, supporting meaningful communication in all its forms, and focusing on strengths when planning for the future. Whether supporting young children or preparing teens and young adults for adulthood, our goal is to help every learner have a genuine voice in shaping a future that reflects their interests, preferences, and quality of life.What's Inside: Teaching self advocacy and choice making from an early ageSupporting client voice in transition and future planningBalancing family priorities with learner autonomy and strengthsMentioned in This Episode:The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and AutismWhat Color Is Your Parachute?
