Drs. Gartner and Segal talk to Dr. Eric Jackson, Director of the Stuttering and Variability Lab at NYU who argues that a lot of what looked like cognitive decline in Biden's debate performance was actually stuttering: a message America needs to hear.  Make sure you join us here on Patreon to support our work and gain access to exclusive perks: patreon.com/ReallyAmericanMedia Our site: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/shrinking-trump  Subscribe on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/really-political/id1742461616 Subscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6AEHmPMAqDlLJEbMgXq1iJ Subscribe on Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/83ca7283-59fb-4cb7-a34b-03c4b0218f29 Subscribe on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-really-political-169545670/ We cautioned our listeners over the last week to take a deep breath and allow us to analyze more data points on Biden's language, mannerisms, and overall cognitive health. In this episode, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal will use significant data to help put Biden's debate performance in perspective by presenting a model of who Biden really is with a true expert in the field of communication. Our hosts also break down some of Trump's most absurd statements from this week. Our guest today is Dr. Eric Jackson, a speech-language pathologist and Associate Professor in the Communicative Sciences and Disorders department at NYU. Eric's research focuses on the variability of stuttering and the inconsistencies of how stuttering events manifest themselves. Eric joins the show to decipher how much of Biden's poor debate performance can be attributed to stuttering vs cognitive decline. “Stuttering is an articulation problem,” Dr. Gartner said. “It's not a brain problem. It's not a thinking problem. It's not a cognitive problem.” Dr. Jackson helps our listeners better understand the challenges stutterer's face, including the anticipation of stuttering and what mechanisms they develop to disguise the stutter. “Biden uses a lot of these,” Eric said. “When he was younger and quicker, he was more able to implement them. But now that he's aging and slower, it's more difficult for him, and that seems to be contributing to what people are characterizing as the mumbling or the stumbling or even the losing his train of thought.” John and Harry also give us a clear contrast of Biden's mental acuity vs Trump's constant brain failures.  “Biden's a flawed candidate, Dr. Segal said. “But compared to Donald Trump he's perfect. And really compared to any candidate, he's quite strong.” You'll also hear our hosts call out the media for failing to cover Trump's psychopathology while spending the last two week's obsessing over Biden's “cognitive decline.”  “Someone tweeted today that in the New York Times there are eight articles about Biden's cognitive decline, and no articles about Trump's psychopathology,” Dr. Gartner said. This is a trend now that we're going to have to deal with.” “John and I began the show because we were alarmed by the ways in which the media and even the political elites seem to be ignoring the ways in which Donald Trump was expressing early signs of dementia,” Dr. Segal said. “A few weeks ago, when Joe Biden showed up to the debate,  the country was really caught off guard. It left me and many other people in the country wondering, how is Biden really doing? Who is he really? How is his functioning?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wondering how you can get more clients in your private practice? You're going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories! I sat down with Melissa Perez, a speech-language pathologist with a private practice called Honeybee Speech in El Centro, California. She decided to start her private practice after experiencing burnout from teletherapy and discovering the Start Your Private Practice program in 2022.Melissa has been one of our Start Start students who recently joined The Grow Your Private Practice Program. Melissa grew quickly, quicker than she thought she would. In this episode, she talks about how she went from zero to 30 clients in the first 3 months of starting her practice. Melissa shares how she started out by renting a dentist's waiting room for $50 a month, and expanded her practice through referrals and taking small, consistent steps.Melissa Perez graduated with a Masters of Science in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from New York University in May of 2020. She has spent the majority of their career working as a teletherapist for a clinic based in Palm Desert, CA. There, she had the opportunity to work with individuals across the lifespan with various communication difficulties. It was during her time there that she found a true love for working with children with speech sound disorders and the early intervention population. Once the idea of opening a private practice popped into her head, she knew they wanted to focus on those two areas. To date, it has been 8 months since she opened her private practice and it was truly the best decision she ever made.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Why Melissa decided that private practice was right for herHow her private practice took offWhy you don't have to start big, you can start small How Melissa went from 0-30 clients in 3 monthsThe shift from traditional employment to fully self-employedThe cool things that Melissa has on the horizon for her private practiceWhy other practices aren't your competitionWhere Melissa gets her clients The power of running your practice like a businessI hope you enjoyed this episode with Melissa!

The US Department of Justice states, “The link between academic failure and delinquency, violence, and crime is welded in reading failure.” The national reading crisis is much more than poor grades and missing assignments. And for black children, their legacy with literacy dates back to slavery.   Today's guest has made this connection through her own personal journey to advocate for her son and is passionate about education reform. Resha Conroy is the founder of the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children, an organization designed to act locally and nationally to support Black children who are Dyslexic by empowering Black families and concerned communities. The approach focuses on raising awareness about Dyslexia and effective reading instruction, transforming barriers to literacy through education and empowerment, and confronting racial bias in public education through collaboration and action.   Listen on to hear Resha's story, how you can support your child and community, and how to connect with the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children.   Show Notes: [1:45] - Dr. Wilson first heard Resha speak at a virtual event on the social justice issue of literacy. [2:36] - Resha was brought into the area of dyslexia after her son's diagnosis. [3:31] - Resha's son was not retaining knowledge, and he was struggling with reading skills and word finding. [4:18] - If there is a history of a language delay or struggle, a child is more likely to have dyslexia or another language-based disorder. [5:10] - When Resha's son was denied services after a school evaluation, she sought a private assessment and found out, through that evaluation, that he was at the first percentile in decoding. [6:19] - He was able to get his foot in the door for services because of a speech-language pathologist at his school. [7:20] - Resha shares the comments from others that she should be okay with her son's low performance. [9:38] - These experiences are not unique to Resha. She founded the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children to help families navigate this space. [10:47] - If dyslexia hasn't been identified as the root issue, by third grade there could be outward behavior issues which then causes misdiagnosis. [11:45] - Research shows that black children have harsher consequences for poor behavior. [12:43] - Resha describes the connection she made during her own research. [15:41] - There's nothing about a child's first language that contributes to their dyslexia. [17:20] - Even if you read to your child everyday, it's not going to address reading issues related to dyslexia. [18:24] - Resha shares how people also tend to blame the child for not trying. [20:11] - All studies prove that early intervention is key. But, many schools are not equipped. [22:17] - Informing parents is something that Resha is passionate about with her organization. [23:23] - There is also a huge disconnect with teacher training regarding reading instruction. [24:12] - Resha shares reading proficiency data and breaks it down by race. This puts children with dyslexia at an even greater disadvantage. [25:07] - What is the history of literacy for black people?  [27:41] - The history of policy and systemic racism continues to impact black students. [29:01] - Providing parents with the tools, support, and proper language to advocate for their child is crucial. [30:24] - An IEP with the right language is a tool to fight for the rights of a child. [31:27] - Emotional support for families makes a huge difference as well. [32:00] - The Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children is launching programs that you can request more information about. Resha shares what the organization can do. [33:27] - How does the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children push for literacy as a social justice issue? [35:50] - Once a child is identified as having dyslexia, which can be a long wait to begin with, what do the interventions and services look like? [37:08] - These services need to be consistent throughout the child's educational career. [38:02] - The Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children has members on the team that have dyslexia and are success stories.   About Our Guest: Resha Conroy is the founder of the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children. A mother of two children with learning differences, including a son with dyslexia, Resha is motivated by her family's journey and a lifelong passion for education reform to bring awareness to the intersectionality of race and Dyslexia. Resha  brings over a decade of experience in education reform and charter school administration.  Currently, Resha is a Speech-Language Pathologist with interest in language, literacy, and culture.

Dr. Branski runs a productive research enterprise encompassing both clinical and laboratory initiatives. His NIH-funded laboratory primarily focuses on wound healing and regenerative approaches to optimized healing in the upper aerodigestive track. Dr. Branski is one of only a few investigators to be named Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, the American Speech Language Hearing Association, and the American Laryngological Association. In Part 1 of his presentation, Dr. Branski discussed how efforts are underway to push research over the top in productivity at NYU. It is important to consider the economic implications of research. Obtaining external support is not easy and we should celebrate those accomplishments when funding is obtained. Voice disorders are the single most common communication disorder across the lifespan. He mentioned the importance of Reinke's space and his contributions in describing the layered structure of the vocal folds. He indicated how challenging it is to deal with the problem of vocal fold necrosis.  In Part 2 of his presentation, Dr. Branski discussed voice research, an area of investigation that not only poses the most opportunities, but also the most obstacles. He also mentioned developments in addressing tissue deficits in the airway. He closed on the theme that research needs to be opportunistic and that what is of value in this institution is to enhance communication between the thousand clinicians at NYU and the researchers.  A Q & A period followed.

Dr. Branski is one of only a few investigators to be named Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, the American Speech Language Hearing Association, and the American Laryngological Association. In Part 1 of his presentation, Dr. Branski discussed how efforts are underway to push research over the top in productivity at NYU. It is important to consider the economic implications of research. Obtaining external support is not easy and we should celebrate those accomplishments when funding is obtained. Voice disorders are the single most common communication disorder across the lifespan. He mentioned the importance of Reinke’s space and his contributions in describing the layered structure of the vocal folds. He indicated how challenging it is to deal with the problem of vocal fold necrosis.  In Part 2 of his presentation, Dr. Branski discussed voice research, an area of investigation that not only poses the most opportunities, but also the most obstacles. He also mentioned developments in addressing tissue deficits in the airway. He closed on the theme that research needs to be opportunistic and that what is of value in this institution is to enhance communication between the thousand clinicians at NYU and the researchers.  A Q & A period followed.

Dr. Bridget Walsh joins Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP to discuss recent research related to documenting and better understanding disfluency behaviors expressed by 4- and 5- year-old children who stutter and to identify whether stuttering characteristics at this age are predictive of later stuttering recovery or persistence. Dr. Walsh discusses potential future areas of research and, in general, her hopes for how learning more about the characteristics of disfluency patterns in this age group may be able to impact our work clinically in the future. Link to study in JSLHRLink to participate in Dr. Walsh’s current studyBio: Dr. Bridget Walsh is a certified speech-language pathologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University. She directs the Developmental Speech Laboratory in the Communication Arts and Sciences building. She received her B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology and Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Neuroscience from Purdue University. Translating thoughts into spoken words is a seemingly effortless ability, one easily taken for granted, yet speech production is a fascinating and remarkably complex process. Dr. Walsh's research focuses on the mechanisms underlying the development of stuttering in young children. She uses a multilevel approach combining neuroimaging, articulatory kinematics, autonomic nervous system recordings, and behavioral approaches to assess how stuttering emerges in young children, and to answer critical questions about why many young children recover from early stuttering while others persist and develop a lifelong chronic condition.For feedback/ episode suggestions, email Sara: smacintyre@stutteringhelp.org

In today's podcast we meet author, advocate, mom, wife, and adoptee Rebecca Tillou, who is also an individual on the Spectrum. Adopted at birth, Rebecca grew up with a loving family, graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders (Speech Pathology) and now works as a Claims Adjuster - a job she loves and excels in. She knew she was adopted, but it wasn't until she was married and had her second child she started to wonder about her origin story.Rebecca detailed her search for her birth mother in her book Tenacity, which we discuss, along with:How a fight with her adopted mom about her birth mother became a catalyst for her diagnosis;The importance of being transparent and truthful, whether about adoption or diagnosis;The power that comes from using your primary characteristics of FASD as a strength; andWhat it's like to accept help and the difference a supportive environment makes.“Accepting help is still hard. I do feel inadequate. I'm not going to lie. But my husband will tell me, you do a lot. And I do, but I'm more a kid, which my kids love. I'm more a kid then a parent. So, it's hard, but I just keep telling myself, I'm doing the best I can. My kids love me. My husband loves me.”Rebecca is doing more than okay. She is amazing and articulate, and successful. I am so thankful she was so open to sharing her experiences to help and inspire others – not only caregivers but more importantly to show other individuals with FASD how to use who they are to become the best version of themselves they can be.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/FASDSUCCESS)

This is the second of a two-part interview with Dr Ryan Branski.  In Part Two, Dr. Branski indicates that there are a lot of in-office procedures completed. Unlike cholesterol studies, looking at vocal fold function in humans is not the same as looking at it in other animals, such as rabbits. An area of great interest is a regenerative medicine approach to vocal fold injury. He indicates that in research, they are starting with new pre-clinical trials.

This is the first of a two-part interview with Dr Ryan Branski.  In Part One, Dr. Branski points out that voice loss is the most common communication disorder while the Institute for Deafness and Other Communication Disorders allocates only 6% of research dollars for voice disorders and 70% for hearing loss research. The impacts of voice disorders are broad and hard to characterize. Psychosocial implications also are profound.  PART 2   Dr. Branski indicated that we do a ton of in-office procedures. We can put just about any therapeutic into a larynx. In our lab, we have spent a lot of time looking at steroids. We also do a fair amount of gene therapy. Unlike cholesterol studies, looking at vocal fold function in humans is not the same as looking at it in other animals, such as rabbits. We do a lot of tissue engineering. An area we are most interested in using a regenerative medicine approach to vocal fold injury. He indicated that in research, they are starting with new pre-clinical trials. They have new custom carriages and do not have to use connect. One problem is that pre-clinically, we did not know what to look at. So, we have become interested in biomechanical testing. 

Dr. MATT SCHOLONEGER ES048 The purpose of Matt's study was to examine the use of dosimetry-derived tessituragrams and Voice Range Profiles (VRPs) in selecting appropriate voice repertoire for singing students. Matt’s project for the Van Lawrence fellowship, funded by a grant from NATS and the Voice Foundation, was a study in Voice Dosemetry - that is, measuring and studying individual’s voice range profiles - the actual pitch range and loudness range of a persons voice. Specifically, he focused on the voice load of songs - how much time on each pitch, how many vibratory cycles on each pitch - in different keys.    The singers were recorded singing the same song in 3 different keys. He got their own perception of difficulty, had an expert panel listen, and using the score, kind of like the map of the song, which he calls a score based tessituragram. With each singer he made a voice range profile with the dosemeter. (A dosemeter looks like earbuds on a hard collar, that sits around your neck and rests in the front. It measures skin vibration in the neck.)   He also looked at overall voice use through the day. He found that people think about how much they sing, but not how much they talk, or how loud the environment is.    ------------   To revisit the episode with voice scientist, Ingo Titze, you can look for episode 16 in your podcast player or visit the podcast page here. http://everysing.libsyn.com/016-every-sing-dr-ingo-titze-voice-scientist   Matt’s first episode on Every Sing was episode #2 http://everysing.libsyn.com/002-every-sing-dr-matthew-schloneger-on-voice-dosimetry   You can find Matt @ Friends University in Wichita, KS   matthew_schloneger@friends.edu   Others involved in Matt's project: Eric J.

The world is a noisy place. But now we have a better idea what the fuss is about. Not only can we record sound, but our computers allow us to analyze it. Bird sonograms reveal that our feathery friends give each other nicknames and share details about their emotional state. Meanwhile, hydrophones capture the sounds of dying icebergs, and let scientists separate natural sound from man-made in the briny deep. Plus, native Ohio speakers help decipher what Neil Armstrong really said on that famous day. And, think your collection of 45 rpm records is impressive?
