Podcasts about AACS

In this episode, Matt and Jamison discuss the significant next steps announced by Secretary Linda McMahon in the effort to close the Department of Education. Since permanent closure requires Congress, the department is moving programs through inter-agency agreements with several programs transferring to other agencies including the State Department and Department of Labor.The hosts focus on the consequential move of elementary and secondary education to the Department of Labor, which raises concerns about balancing workforce preparation (like Career and Technical Education) with virtue development and knowledge acquisition. Programs statutorily required to remain at the DOE include the Office for Civil Rights (Title IX), Federal Student Aid, and Special Education. AACS schools are advised to anticipate changes regarding the administration of Title funding. The episode wraps up by celebrating Maureen Van Den Berg's 20-year milestone with AACS.

Jamison Coppola, Government Relations Director for American Association of Christian Schools, and host Dr. Matt Davis unite in this informative episode of OnMission to probe a topic of obvious mutual concern—religious liberty, especially as it relates to Christian education and traditionally-held Christian principles. They explain the implausibility of legislators and staff predicting all ramifications of proposed bills, especially with unknown modifications in the amendment process, and why this necessitates vigilant advocates. Using the proposed school choice bill, they illustrate how advocates can assure explicit language in a bill to protect interests. They discuss public policy, fluctuations in administrations, the vanishing of “common ground,” and the unfettered rapid rise of animosity across the “ideological spectrum” that collides with age-old Christian values and labels them “radical.” They conclude with an encouraging look at the “massive shift” toward homeschooling and growing options for private education.

The world of aesthetics and its endless devices has been confusing to many. A lot of us have curiously tried them: some loved it, and some couldn't handle the pain of the treatments.

What should you choose?Dr. Jorge Gaviria has extensive experience in laser aesthetic treatments since 2009, and he will break down and explain the science, the pros and cons of various devices, why Fotona seems to come out on top, and why Fotona is not more known in the US.Dr. Gaviria is a talented Aesthetic doctor with special expertise in laser procedures.

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and the future of cosmetic surgery. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients, more profits and stellar reputations. Now, today's episode is called "The Future of Cosmetic Surgery — with Erik J. Nuveen, MD, DMD". While speaking at this year's AACS conference, I heard a surgeon give a talk called “The Future of Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery: Consolidation and Success”. He was saying how difficult it is for a new surgeon, oftentimes saddled with up to $500K in loans, to borrow more money to open their own practice or buy into someone else's, when they enter the marketplace.  He went on to talk about new hybrid scenarios that work well for the up-and-coming surgeon looking for autonomy and support, as well as the mature surgeon contemplating a profitable exit.  Since this is a hot topic lately, this Beauty and the Biz episode is an interview I did with that speaker. It's Dr. Erik Nuveen, a cosmetic surgeon running a multi-surgeon, 10,000 square foot private practice located in Oklahoma, OK; which is embracing the future of cosmetic surgery. We talked about how he bought someone else's practice (with a shoddy reputation) and built it into an 8-figure practice, while performing 2,240 surgeries per year.  And, how Dr. Nuveen is using the art of consolidation to reduce redundancy and change the landscape of solo cosmetic practices. Visit Dr. Nuveen's' website P.S. Want Catherine's book for free? Just leave us a review, text (415) 851-0172 and her book is on the way!

In preparation for a CEU event we're hosting all about how to use AAC devices, we are rebroadcasting our Linggo episode with Ling Ly Tan and Jane Button.  They are from Linggo, a company that makes communication accessible for people who have difficulty speaking. Linggo is an assistive technology that supports the learning of language, speech, and literacy skills through an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) platform. Ling's a BCBA and has been working in the field for almost two decades. Jane worked on the front lines with children in her community and then became a trained clinician and consultant. Linggo was built out of Ling's frustration with AACs that were hard to use and not the best for her clients. Nearly 60% abandon their AAC within the first year, which is unfortunate because it can be such a vital tool for language development. Linggo also provides parent training for clinicians and parents to help generalize communication. Communication is so complex, and it requires an interdisciplinary team approach. The focus should always be on the best interest of the child. Linggo is customized based on each individual client, unlike traditional, one-size-fits-all systems. On March 29th, we're hosting a CEU event that dives deeper into Linggo and AAC devices.

Hello and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business side of cosmetic surgery and how Lionel Meadows, MD went from practicing as an obstetrician-gynecologist to also becoming a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Have you ever gone down one path in life and then discovered you either out-grew it, discovered a different path that looked better or even started a brand new path? These paths commonly include choosing a mate, a place to live and/or a career path. For Dr. Lionel Meadows, it included a different specialty. In this week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast, I interviewed Dr. Lionel Meadows. He started out as an Ob-Gyn and practiced for 10 years before realizing he preferred cosmetic surgery. That urge for change sent him on a path of re-educating, re-tooling and building a new practice centered around cash-paying cosmetic patients. Dr. Meadows explains how he did it and what he learned along the way. Visit Dr. Lionel Meadows' website Enjoy and I look forward to your feedback –

Hello and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business side of cosmetic surgery and Joe Niamtu, DMD, who works 4 days a week and went from meager beginnings to driving a McLaren. After working with cosmetic surgeons for 22 years, some really stand out as exceptional.  They go above and beyond to hone their craft, teach, speak, give back and overcome obstacles, all while being a good human being.  This week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast guest is Joe Niamtu, DMD, cosmetic facial surgeon in private practice in VA.  He did not hold back and gave pearl after pearl. Here's a sampling of what we talked about: Staff being the biggest challenge and how to hire, fire and motivate them Unhappy patients – how to spot them beforehand and how to deal with them after the fact Before/After photos– how did he get over 10K photos when other surgeons can't? Dr. Niamtu figured it out… He works 4 days/week, charges what he wants and only works with patients he feels good about.  He also has a money-making system set up to include 7 oral maxillofacial surgery offices that allow him to focus on cosmetic surgery, while supporting the care of his special needs children. Dr. Niamtu is a true inspiration and greatly admired for the work he puts into living a full life.  Visit Dr. Niamtu's website Enjoy and I look forward to your feedback –  

Cullen gives a preview of SCQANIT and AACS as well as shares his predictions.

Have you ever worked with a student who needs an AAC, but you don't know which one would work best for them? If you have, then you'll appreciate this episode. Annabeth and Mara from The Fanny Pack Therapist have found that their respective therapy styles, as a speech language pathologist and an occupational therapist, mesh so well that they teamed up to help more students.Annabeth and Mara love how AACs empower students to find ways to communicate their thoughts and needs with the people around them. They've found that AACs don't prohibit verbal speech, but simply give a child a way to communicate while they work toward verbal speech. You don't want to miss their ABCs of AACs on their Instagram page from October 2020.By collaborating together, SLPs and OTs can get a more holistic view of a child. While the SLP is evaluating a child's expressive and receptive skills, an OT can come in and see where a child's fine motor skills are. And once they've passed the initial evaluation, together, the SLP and OT can try signs, low-tech options, verbal speech, and just about anything else to see what works.I hope this episode gets your wheels turning on how you can work with other professionals or how you can help your students or clients use AACs to meet their therapy goals. Make sure you check out The Fanny Pack Therapist for more ideas on collaborating with other therapists.What's Inside:Listen to how Annabeth and Mara collaborate in the age of COVID.The importance of shared goals with other intervention specialists, and what that can look like for your students.Communication is a basic right, and an AAC gives a student a chance to communicate.How can someone improve their competency in the AAC world if they don't have any previous experience?

Something I find so inspiring is to watch a student find a way to communicate with the people who exist in their world. For over 47 years, Susan Berkowitz has been helping students with autism learn to communicate by whatever means are necessary. Using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), Susan is reaching students who are complete non-speakers or who struggle to communicate the full range of their thoughts and feelings.Susan has a wealth of knowledge, and she's passionate about helping teachers, parents, and fellow Speech-Language Pathologists find the tools they need to teach their students. She tells the amazing story of one of her students who stopped his self-injurious behavior after she created a POG book filled with 120 pages of pictures that he was able to use to communicate that he wanted to run outside.There are so many options for AACs, and since the technology for this field is so new, there will continue to be new options every year. Susan has found it helpful to become good friends with the AAC customer service reps so that she has direct insight into this industry.If you think one of your students would benefit with an AAC, or you'd like to learn more about apps, games, or strategies that you can use in your therapy sessions, Susan is really a wealth of information. Check out her book, her websites, or her TPT store for more resources.What's Inside:Why we should never rearrange the symbols on a child's AAC system.How to move a student beyond requesting and into communicating.Susan's tips for using technology to teach students how to communicate.If you have limited cognitive energy, you're limited by how much effort you can put into communication.
