If you work with minimally speaking children using low-tech or high-tech AAC, this episode is for you. A brand-new systematic review has just been published, but the underlying research is sparse, messy, and often mislabeled. Today, we'll dig through the “recycle bin” of studies to uncover what actually works, why commenting is more powerful than requesting, and how to take action on Monday morning. You'll learn: -Why are many so-called “commenting interventions” really prompted responses to labeling questions, not true initiations -The pivotal role of combining words in AAC for speech development and generative language -Why modeling and scaffolding work and what research says about prompting hierarchies -How to apply the triangle of evidence-based practice when published protocols don't exist -Download my free 30 Minute M.O.D.E.L. workshop to share with colleagues and caregivers: https://www.kellyvess.com/aac

Her son Blaise, now six, was diagnosed with autism at two years old. He is considered non-verbal and communicates using an AAC device.Although she initially felt overwhelmed and stuck in “fight or flight,” Nicole quickly realized she needed to rise above that feeling and begin advocating for Blaise. During the pandemic, she turned to autism communities, recognizing the power of connection and the importance of finding a village to lean on.Today, Nicole is committed to special education advocacy, community engagement, and inspiring others to bloom where they are planted.This conversation is a powerful reminder of resilience, advocacy, and the strength found in community.What we discuss:00:00 Finding Your Tribe: The Importance of Community04:17 Navigating the Diagnosis: Early Signs and Support07:53 The Role of Advocacy: Becoming Your Child's Voice11:51 Managing Multiple Needs: Balancing Life with Neurodiversity16:45 Self-Care: Refilling Your Cup as a Parent19:11 Empowering Others: The Importance of Community Support24:50 Vulnerability and Asking for Help: Breaking Down Barriers27:45 Surrendering to the Journey: Embracing Faith and Support31:05 Embracing Your Badass: Mastering Your FateConnect with Nicole: Instagram: www.instagram.com/prettylive5iveIf you found Nicole's episode informative and inspiring, please don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with another fellow badass mom or someone who you feel would benefit!FOLLOW US:Instagram: www.instagram.com/theabmpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/theabmpodcastYouTube: www.youtube.com/theabmpodcast

Penny, the Executive Director of Animal Activism Collective, has helped bring hundreds of new activists into the grassroots animal movement, as well as supporting dozens of local grassroots groups around the US. Collectively, these groups, and AAC's network, have been responsible for securing dozens of victories for animals, including getting over 80 companies and restaurants to drop foie gras, fur and much more.That's why I was very excited to speak with Penny today about something that feels pretty unique in our movement: A grassroots organisation like Animal Activism Collective working on cage-free campaigns in partnership with less grassroots-y organisations. In addition to this, we spoke about how AAC manages to get dozens of people to travel across the country to join their in-person weeks of action, why Penny thinks movement unity is important, the benefits of getting people in-person and even how Penny started caring about shrimp! This is an episode with lots of fun stories and we're also trying something new by splicing in audio of their protests, so people can get a sense of the energy they bring.Resources:Sign up - UK Voters for Animal Mass Lobby dayConfidence Code – Katty Kay, Claire ShipmanThis is an uprising – EnglersAnimal Liberation HourAAC websiteAAC InstagramAAC YouTubeAAC email – join@animalactivismcollective.comChapters:What Penny has changed her mind on (00:03:41)The RAGE tour: 30 days straight of protest (00:09:20)AAC's collaboration with ICAW and CAFT on cage-free & fur campaigns (00:11:02)How did the collaboration between ICAW and AAC on cage-free campaigns start?

Telehealth for speech therapy is under threat, and if Medicare pulls access, the consequences could ripple far beyond one program. Adults, families, and care partners lose critical care options, but that's just the start. A Medicare rollback could trigger private insurance and Medicaid to follow suit, resulting in reduced access across the board. In this episode, we explore why telehealth is crucial for patients who can't drive, for care partners balancing demanding schedules, and for clinicians serving rural and underserved communities. You'll also get advocacy tools, ready-to-use letter templates, and simple ways to mobilize your practice and patients to keep telehealth accessible.Find all of the advocacy tools you need here to participate in the telehealth call to action, or check out Katie's SLPs Blueprint to Medicare Success and get $100 off with the code FixSLP.Stop paying to track ASHA-approved CEUs.

What really happens to a tank at the end of its life? In this episode, we take a deep dive into what it means for a tank to be “out of service” or “permanently closed,” and how those terms differ depending on the regulation in play - especially between 40 CFR 112 and Alaska's 18 AAC 75. Shannon breaks down what's required when tanks are removed or left in place, what documentation is needed, and how terms like “grandfathering” can complicate things for facilities hoping to avoid costly upgrades. Whether you manage a single tank or a whole tank farm, this episode is a must-listen for staying compliant through a tank's final days.EPA Guidance for Regional InspectorsGrandfather ClausesSupport the showintro/outro created with GarageBand

This week's co-host doesn't say a word, but his presence says everything. James sits down with his son Lucas, a non-verbal teenager with autism, for a special episode. With the help of Pirate Booty, duck noises, and an AAC device, Lucas shows listeners what communication looks like when it's completely authentic. Whether it's asking for water or no-selling a dad joke, nothing Lucas does is performative and that honesty has become one of James's greatest parenting lessons.You'll hear about real moments: a silly game that's only funny when Lucas says it is, how years of practice lead to a single successful request on a talker, and the deep frustration of strangers assuming they know your child better than you do. This is more than a podcast episode, it's a window into trust, growth, and fatherhood that doesn't need subtitles.See The Show Here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jcTwR72r_k4Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@hiblogimdadIt's Here!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes topics of death and loss in the mountains, as well as mention of some specific accidents you may or may not be familiar with. Please take care of yourself when listening. For this episode of the AAC podcast, we're having a conversation with therapist Ashlee Langholz about grief, traumatic grief, and how the Climbing Grief Fund (CGF) can support climbers and other mountain athletes who are experiencing loss.

What if starting your own private practice meant more time with your kids, a healthier work-life balance, and the freedom to create a career that truly fits your values? That's exactly what today's guest, Erin West, set out to do and her journey is going to inspire you.Today I'm introducing you to Erin West, a speech-language pathologist and the owner of Wildflowers Pediatric Therapy in Bradenton, Florida.

Now, she sets her own schedule, collaborates with other professionals in her community, and enjoys more time with her family.Outside of her practice, she is a mom of two, enjoys collaborating with other therapists in her community, and is even pursuing certification to teach Music Together® classes as another way to support families through connection and creativity. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Taking the leap without a financial safety netBuilding a niche around feeding, autism, and sensory needsFinding unexpected community support and collaborationAnd how her 13-year-old son literally helped her run the numbers to get startedErin's story shows that you don't have to hate your job to know it's time for a change.

TVF 180 – Mastering Business Analysis In this engaging conversation on the Visibility Factor podcast, host Susan M Barber interviews Dr. Michael White, known as the BA Doc, who shares insights into the world of business analysis. He is the founder of The Business Analysis Doctor, a global and award-winning business analysis training provider specializing in IIBA certifications and practical business analysis. He has over a decade of experience in business analysis, project management, and training. Michael has driven innovation at some of the top financial institutions in the U.S. He currently holds a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), the CBAP, AAC, CBDA, CPOA, and CSSGB. Michael is also a public speaker, content creator, and the President of the IIBA Southeast Michigan Chapter. Takeaways Business analysis is about defining and understanding business problems. Effective communication is crucial for business analysts. Understanding organizational goals is key for business analysts. Transitioning from technical roles to business analysis is possible with the right mindset. The hardest part of being a business analyst can be managing expectations in new organizations. AI can enhance the effectiveness of business analysts if used correctly. Experience is often more valuable than certification in business analysis. IIBA plays a significant role in promoting the business analyst profession. New business analysts should focus on understanding processes and asking the right questions. Making your boss's job easier can elevate your career. Book recommended by Michael: Asking the Right Questions by M. Neil Browne and Stuart M.

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, aim to enable people to control various adaptive devices directly with their thoughts. There are many BCI devices currently in various stages of development, with the potential to help people with ALS and similar conditions across many different activities of daily life. One particular area in which BCI devices may be able to support people with advanced ALS symptoms is communication. Many people with ALS rely on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to write or speak. All tools like these, collectively known as augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices, need some kind of input to work. This could mean using a keyboard, a touchscreen, or, for people with advanced paralysis, an eye-gaze device. As ALS progresses, however, even eye gaze devices may become difficult for some people to use. BCIs—by allowing people to control AAC devices with their minds—could be a potential solution to this problem. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by two experts to discuss BCI technology and, in particular, its potential to help people with ALS continue to communicate. The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not represent official endorsements by any organization. Kate Nilsen currently serves as an advisor to Synchron, a company developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) device.

The AAC's Climbing Grief Fund has a directory of therapists who are specialists in the unique risks, challenges, joys, and euphoria of outdoor recreation, and are informed practitioners who support climbers experiencing grief and trauma. And though the directory is an invaluable resource when people need support in the face of the most intense kinds of grief and tragedy, these counselors also have expertise in other areas, including sports performance psychology. Because it's all connected–just as grief and trauma impacts our relationship to climbing, so too, does working on resilience, self-compassion, and other mental health skills help us excel at our goals in climbing. In this episode, we have CGF therapist and sports psychologist Neal Palles on to chat about how to practice and stack various mental training techniques and concepts on top of each other to build towards peak performance. We periodize our physical training, and according to Palles, we can apply that same concept to mental skills as well. Dive in!

Communication is a human right - but what happens when someone can't speak for themselves?Sean Allsop struggled to talk until he was eight years old, when he began to speak thanks to years of speech therapy. He explores the technologies and innovations helping people around the world who struggle to communicate.We meet Richard Cave, National Advisor at the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, as he introduces a patient and their family to voice banking, a method that preserves someone's voice before it's lost, using recordings to create a personalised synthetic version. He explains why having your own voice is a major part of your identity.In the United States, we hear from people trialling a brain chip that turns neural signals into speech. It's still in its early stages, but how close are we to seeing this kind of technology more widely available for those who would benefit from it? A child-friendly robot made in Luxembourg is teaching children with communication difficulties how to express emotions and build social skills. And in San Cesareo, Italy, the simplest solutions can sometimes prove the most effective. The town has introduced AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) sign boards in public spaces, helping both users and non-users learn and connect.Image: A student pointing at an image on an AAC sign board (Credit: Eleonora Vallerotonda)

Cindy Watson, celebrating 30 years as an SLP and making her third appearance on the podcast, returns with BCBA Ashley Snavely to share how their clinic blends multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care.“We were missing something,” Cindy reflects. Already offering PT, OT, and Speech, their team recognized therapists needed tools to address challenging behaviors. Adding ABA was the evidence-based solution. In this episode, Cindy and Ashley discuss the early stages of collaboration—how large group trainings, comprehensive education, and the creation of the BILT (Behavior Intervention Leadership Team) empowered therapists to problem-solve before BCBAs step in. They also dive into AAC in a collaborative setting, emphasizing curiosity, data-driven decisions, and open communication as key to success.Together, they show how a “we want to learn from you” mindset builds trust, resolves disagreements, and ultimately leads to what matters most—meaningful progress for every learner.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Integrating ABA into a multidisciplinary clinic.How to collaborate with ACCHandling disagreements across providers.Fostering open communication and learning among therapists and providers. Mentioned In This Episode:Episode #115: Early Intervention Speech Therapy Services – A Talk With Cindy WatsonEpisode #191: Autism in Girls- A Conversation with Cindy and MCSpeech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

In this episode of Nonlinear Learning, we challenge the conventional path parents often take when preparing children with disabilities for higher education. We discuss why focusing solely on life skills, physical independence, and basic academics can leave students unprepared for the real demands of college. Instead, I outline the true foundation that fosters genuine readiness for higher education and guess what - there is a key factor there - MOTIVATION. How do we build that?  Tune in to learn more. You'll discover: Why physical independence, while valuable, doesn't guarantee college readiness. How fluent academic communication—whether through speech, AAC, or spelling-based systems—unlocks learning potential. and more...

"Don't give up and prove everyone wrong" - Kayla Ireland shares how horses, AAC, and a fierce sense of self-advocacy help her chase her dreams and redefine what's possible for herself and others.   There are intentional silences left in this recording. Normally I edit out long pauses, but when speaking with an AAC user like Kayla, it's important to honour the natural pace of her communication and make space for her to share in her own way. This different flow of conversation may feel unfamiliar, but it's valuable to experience and listen to.   In this episode, you'll hear: • Kayla's journey with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and discovering accessible ways to communicate • Honest insights into AAC, the importance of communication partners having patience, and the power of listening to lived experience • Why therapeutic horse riding gives her freedom, confidence, and a sense of joy that medicalised therapies can't   Watch this chat on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VuyKBLO_iAA    Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay: YouTube / Instagram / Facebook Email: kindlyneurodivergentwithkay@gmail.com Silver Speech Speaking Series: YouTube Rock The World with Kay & Michelle: YouTube / Instagram / Facebook Inside Scoop of Living with Cerebral Palsy: Facebook / Instagram / YouTube Kayla Interviewing Adina: YouTube / Facebook       Podcast Link: https://pod.link/1625478932 Website: www.playlearnchat.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/play.learn.chat Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/play.learn.chat

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comThe American Athletic Conference was by far the best non-power conference of the early College Football Playoff era. Its best teams were nationally relevant. Many programs were on the rise, and so were the league's coaches, who went on to Power Five jobs and then got replaced by coaches who often did the same.Lately, things have not gone as well. The American lost its best teams to the Big 12, and the programs that backfilled those spots have yet to show anything. The hiring train of AAC coaches has slowed down, and the conference has moved backward while several non-power programs outside the league have ascended. The best program in the league, Memphis, is trying hard to get out.The league literally renamed itself last week, going away from “AAC” and opting to just be called “the American.” As the league literally redefines itself, Godfrey joins Alex and Richard for a discussion of how the American got here and where it might be going over the next few years.Producer: Anthony Vito

UH is a "power conference team" now and have bailed on us going forward (cowards!), but we've got one more Bayou Bucket to look forward to! So of course, Matt and Carter had to have our pals Sam and Bobby from the Scott & Holman Pawdcast to talk the crosstown Cougars. Can Willie Fritz get the offense functional this year [this is how you know they're not in the American anymore]? Is there anything sillier than bailing on the Bucket for a contrived, space-themed rivalry with UCF (no)?

We're combining two of the most highly requested topics—Gestalt Language Processing and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)—into one conversation with Farwa Husain of First Phrases. We're answering some key questions about AAC + Gestalt: What do we actually know about integrating gestalts with high-tech AAC systems? What's missing in the research? How can SLPs move forward confidently on Monday morning without waiting for perfect data? What Gestalt Language Processing really means (and why you can't “give” a child a gestalt)? What common AAC myths are holding children back—and what to do instead? Is the child “stimming” on AAC devices (spoiler: often exploration, a good thing)? Why focus on relationship-first therapy? How can we model extensively and in a meaningful manner? What are some joyful learning strategies for introducing AAC to Gestalt Language Processors in preschool? Whether you're a seasoned SLP or just getting started, this episode is packed with actionable insights and evidence-informed best practices for Monday morning therapy with autistic preschoolers.

With David Smoak, Paul Catalina, & Craig Smoak Longtime Memphis insider John Martin shares a personal and emotional reaction to the Big 12 declining a major offer from the University of Memphis. Despite multi-million dollar incentives, renovated facilities, and athletic success in football and basketball, Memphis was once again passed over. Martin explains the city's frustration, the perception problems hurting Memphis behind the scenes, and why the Big 12's past additions from the AAC may have worked against them. This is a deep dive into the realities of realignment politics and what Memphis can still do next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this powerful reflection episode, Tara shares one of the most impactful moments of her career—her conversation with Jordyn Zimmerman during the 2025 Preschool Autism Summit. Together, they unpack the importance of presuming competence, providing early AAC access, and creating neurodiversity-affirming learning spaces. Tara also shares emotional ripple stories from participants, illustrating how nearly 50,000 educators and therapists are creating waves of change for autistic children around the world. Key Takeaways: Presume competence—always. Speech is not the same as intelligence, and we must stop making assumptions based on verbal ability. Non-speaking ≠ non-verbal. The term “non-verbal” implies a lack of language; “non-speaking” affirms that language exists, even without speech. There are no prerequisites for AAC. Children do not need to match, point, or “behave” a certain way before receiving access to communication tools. PECS is not a communication system. It is a requesting system and does not provide full language access. AAC must include access to robust, literacy-based tools. Limiting a child to a core board or basic images restricts their ability to truly communicate. Talking about students in front of them causes real harm. Many non-speaking students hear and understand far more than people assume. Lack of access to communication is traumatic. It can lead to emotional and physical distress—and we have a responsibility to prevent that. Real inclusion means access, not separation. Segregated classrooms limit growth and potential; all students deserve meaningful academic instruction. Educators are making real-time ripples. From texting SLPs during the summit to creating team trainings, attendees are already pushing change. Small shifts create big waves. With over 49,000 participants, the summit's ripple effect may reach nearly half a million autistic children—and it all starts with choosing compassion over compliance.

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. If you like what you hear (and read) make sure you're supporting financially where you can to keep the lights on at places like this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
