Hallie chats with Malka Arnstein about making AAC more accessible for communication partners.In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with Malka Arnstein — SLP, private practice owner, and AAC specialist on a mission to make AAC less intimidating and way more accessible. Malka gets real about the judgment that can creep into AAC work, why reframing it as just another communication tool changes everything, and how modeling for adults (not just kids) is where the magic happens. She talks about working with dysregulated students, pushing into classrooms instead of pulling out, and why showing up with fun and connection beats perfect data every time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by AAC or like you're just winging it, this episode is packed with practical tips and plenty of "just do it and you'll be great" vibes.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why AAC is just a communication tool — and reframing it that way makes all the difference How to make AAC accessible for SLPs, teachers, paras, and parents (not just users) The power of modeling for adults, not just kids — show, don't tell What it looks like to work with dysregulated students and build trust from a distance Why pushing into classrooms instead of pulling out changes everything How to ditch the data obsession for a minute and focus on fun and connection What "modeling without expectations" actually means in practiceHere's what we learned: AAC isn't scary—it's just a tool, and reframing it that way changes everything. Accessibility isn't just for users; teachers, paras, and parents need it to be usable too. Model for the adults, not just the kids—show them how it's done in real time. Push into classrooms instead of pulling out—let the team see AAC in action. With dysregulated students, start from a distance and let trust build slowly. Ditch the data sheets for a minute—fun and connection come first. If it's not joyful, take a step back and adjust your approach.Learn more about Malka Arnstein: Website: http://www.speakingaac.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakingaac/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/973643611365308Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Speaking-AAC/61568405591784/Teachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/speakingaac-llcAAC Information CardLearn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert, President and Founder of AIAC, sits down with Seth Bacon, Director of Innovation at RSM, to explore how organizations can move beyond AI hype and into real, measurable value. Their conversation dives into practical adoption, industry-specific use cases, and what attendees can expect from the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA, where real-world outcomes, not proofs of concept, take center stage.Key TakeawaysIndustry-specific use cases: Bacon highlights that outcomes, data sets, and success metrics differ dramatically between sectors like manufacturing, retail, and professional services. By showcasing real industry accelerators, the summit helps attendees see what's possible within their own vertical while also learning from how other industries solve similar problems using the same technologies.Accessible depth for every role: The summit is intentionally designed to support a wide range of maturity levels. Bacon notes that some attendees are just learning how to write better prompts, while others are orchestrating complex, multi-platform agentic systems.The power of in-person connection: While sessions provide structured learning, both speakers agree that the most impactful moments often happen outside the rooms. Bacon emphasizes that hallway conversations, meals, and informal networking create lasting relationships that extend well beyond the event. These connections give attendees trusted peers to call months later when challenges arise, making the summit not just a learning experience, but a long-term support network.

Épisode 1415 : Ce matin on se tente une petite mise en abîme, avec ce podcast, audio donc, on vient aborder le sujet passionnant des messages vocaux sur les plateformes sociales. Et en 2026, elles s'installent désormais dans les fonctionnalités natives des plateformes.YouTube ajoute l'audio dans les commentairesDepuis début janvier 2026, YouTube permet de répondre à un commentaire avec une note vocale.-Comment ça marche :Ouvrez l'application YouTube reliée à votre compte, ou le YouTube StudioVous allez dans l'espace commentaire de l'une de vos vidéosAppuyez sur le bouton « répondre ». Utilisez ensuite l'icône note vocaleDurée max : 30 secondes.Accessible depuis l'appli ou YouTube Studio.Ce n'est pas un simple gadget.C'est une nouvelle manière de converser avec sa communauté.YouTube cherche à renforcer l'intimité entre créateurs et abonnés.Après les posts communautaires ou les Hype Points, le vocal poursuit cette logique relationnelle.Chaque réponse vocale peut être écoutée, réécoutée, lue via une transcription automatique.Un pas de plus vers un YouTube conversationnel.Instagram : les vocaux explosent dans les DMSur Insta, les vocaux sont déjà installés depuis longtemps. Mais leur usage a changé.• Depuis 2025, la durée max est passée à 5 minutes.• Et surtout, les vocaux sont désormais transcrits automatiquement.Résultat : on peut lire un vocal sans l'écouter.Parfait pour les situations de mobilité ou en open space.Ce combo longueur + transcription transforme la messagerie en outil conversationnel riche.Le vocal devient un format d'explication ou de coaching.On s'en sert pour du service client, des retours détaillés, presque comme un mémo éditorialisé.Et ça fonctionne parce que ça reste privé, intime, hors algorithme.-Sur LinkedIn : le vocal comme hack d'outreachSur LinkedIn aussi, les vocaux trouvent leur place.Ils sont de plus en plus utilisés pour l'outreach commercial ou RH.Pourquoi ?Parce qu'ils fonctionnent mieux.• Selon plusieurs praticiens, les vocaux génèrent 30 à 40% de réponses en plus que les messages texte.• Leur format court (max 60 secondes) les rend personnalisables et humains.• Ils sont difficilement automatisables, contrairement aux InMails ou aux commentaires générés par IA.C'est exactement ce que LinkedIn cherche à encourager : moins de spam, plus d'authenticité.Et ça marche, parce qu'on reçoit peu de vocaux.L'attention est captée.Et la voix reste un vecteur puissant de lien .Le vocal devient un nouveau territoire d'expression.À la fois intime et efficace, il coche toutes les cases du lien authentique.Les marques et créateurs l'adoptent pour se rendre plus accessibles, plus humains.Et les plateformes l'intègrent pour nourrir la conversation.Le vocal n'est plus un à-côté. C'est un format à part entière.. . . Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com ! Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

A science-backed guide to discovering the real power of magic and implementing it in your life, from the renowned author of Real MagicThere is an idea that shakes the core of our scientific principles: That our consciousness participates in creating our physical reality. It's an idea that runs counter to the materialist worldview we're all taught in school. But the outer edges of scientific inquiry bleed into what can only be called 'magic.'Dean Radin, Ph.D., is at the forefront of researching magic from a scientific standpoint. In The Science of Magic, he shines a light on today's scientific breakthroughs, from quantum mechanics to the mind-body connection to telepathy, that can best be explained by what we currently call magic (or psi). In short, today's magic is the science of tomorrow. He shares his own groundbreaking research on psi phenomena, and explains how you can start utilizing these findings in your own life today.Accessible and practical, The Science of Magic offers magical methods from the perspective of a scientist, demonstrating how to effect change with exercises and hands-on techniques. In short, magic is a mental skill, like meditation or mathematics. You will find a quiz to discover your natural talents and foundational activities for strengthening your skills, including:• Affirmations (word magic)• Sigils• Knots• Candle magic• Writing magic• Spell-castingWith his uniquely science-backed approach, Dean guides you through testing magic on your own, for example through dream precognition, evoking synchronicity, and more. The Science of Magic is a journey to the outer edges of our understanding of the universe, showing where science is leading us: namely, to magic.Dean Radin is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Associated Distinguished Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and cofounder and chairman of the biotech company, Cognigenics. He earned an MS (electrical engineering) and a PhD (psychology) from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and in 2022 was awarded an Honorary DSc from the Swami Vivekananda University in Bangalore, India. He is the author or coauthor of some 300 scientific and popular articles, four dozen book chapters, and nine books, four of which have been translated into 15 foreign languages: The Conscious Universe (1997), Entangled Minds (2006), Supernormal (2013), and Real Magic (2018).https://www.deanradin.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

With Mary and Andrew from EdgePerma.comIn This Podcast: Andrew Tuttle and Mary Marshall, co-founders of Edge Perma and Redtail Edge Design, share how they're using immersive technology to transform regenerative agriculture education. Drawing from backgrounds in permaculture, ecological design, and lived experiences of healing through land stewardship, they explain how virtual farm tours can make regenerative systems accessible to anyone, anywhere. The conversation explores permaculture as a pathway to peace, community resilience, and personal healing, while highlighting the power of relationship-building, service, and inclusive learning. This episode weaves together technology, ethics, and heart-centered education to reimagine how people connect with land and food systems.Episode HighlightsImmersive virtual tours as a tool to “copy and paste” regenerative systemsPermaculture as a framework for peace, food security, and climate resilienceUsing technology to expand access to farm-based learningThe emotional and healing power of land stewardshipTeaching ethics, design, and systems thinking through lived examplesShifting from rejection to resonance through service and community careEducation designed for inclusion, not gatekeepingKey Questions AnsweredHow did Andrew and Mary's journey lead them to permaculture and regenerative agriculture?Their path began with questioning systems of conflict and scarcity, combined with personal grief and a search for healing. Permaculture offered a framework where humans could become restorative forces within ecosystems and communities.What problem do virtual farm tours solve in regenerative education?Most people never get to visit functional regenerative farms. Virtual tours bring these spaces to students, growers, and communities, removing barriers of geography, mobility, time, and cost.How do Edge Perma's virtual farm tours work?They combine 360° video, drone footage, aerial panoramas, 3D models, and clickable learning elements to show farms from every angle, including system evolution over time.What makes virtual tours different from in-person farm visits?They add layers of understanding—like aerial views, topography, and system mapping—that aren't possible on foot, while complementing (not replacing) real-world visits.How does this approach support different learning styles?The immersive, visual format supports neurodiverse learners and people who struggle with traditional classroom-based education, helping more people feel seen and included.What role does community and service play in their success?Andrew and Mary describe a shift from self-promotion to service, relationship-building, and listening—an ethic that unlocked trust, collaboration, and new opportunities.What does success mean to them beyond business growth?Success is measured in meaningful human impact—healing landscapes, supporting grief and remembrance, and creating spaces that nurture both people and the planet.Key Topics & EntitiesEdge Perma

Presenting complex information for your audience to understand.As communicators, we often need to take complex information (e.g., financial, technical, or scientific) and make it more understandable for our audience – we're experts and they likely aren't. But having so much knowledge on the topics we discuss can often make the job more difficult: we dive in too quickly, forget about our audience's needs, or use jargon that goes over their heads. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, strategic communications lecturers Matt Abrahams and Lauren Weinstein explore the “curse of knowledge” and offer specific techniques you can use to be more successful in getting your point across.Episode Reference Links:Lauren WeinsteinEp.3 When Knowing Too Much Can Hurt Your Communication: How to Make Complex Ideas AccessibleEp.49 Make Numbers Count: How to Communicate Data EffectivelyEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:35) - Where Complexity Breaks Down (03:48) - Start With the Audience (04:50) - The Power of Analogy (07:51) - The “Chunking” Technique (09:46) - Make Data Relatable (11:56) - The Final Three Question (15:19) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

 "If we can't bring the kids to the kitchen, maybe we can bring the kitchen to the kids." —Carolyn Federman   Food education often gets treated as optional, even though it shapes health, culture, and opportunity from the very start. When kids lack access to hands-on food learning, the gap shows up everywhere from classrooms to hospitals. This conversation explores what changes when education meets practicality. Carolyn Federman shares how years of work alongside Alice Waters and the Edible Schoolyard revealed a major barrier. Teaching kitchens worked, but they were out of reach for most schools. That insight led to the creation of Charlie Cart, a mobile teaching kitchen now used across schools, libraries, food banks, and pediatric settings nationwide. Press play to hear how food education scales without losing heart, and why access must include skills, not just ingredients.
