Podcasts about echolalia

Talking with poet, editor, and literary trickster anon Jasper Ceylon on the art of aesthetic sabotage and poetics in the age of algorithm. From anonymous pen names to deliberate hoaxes published to destabilize the contemporary poetry scene, Jasper dissects the decay of literary standards, using his surreal, very funny and on point fake poetry journal Echolalia, as a critical manifesto serving as both scalpel and mirror. A self-described poetry fan first and foremost, Jasper satirizes the very world he inhabits, exposing identity-first editorial gatekeeping and the global flattening of taste. We talk about the ghost networks of the contemporary (poetry) world, the process in his rebellion; building a complete parallel poetic narrative world to dupe the editors. Instagram poetry and grievance studies, Jasper doesn't pull punches but neither is he cynical. A romantic dissident who wants to save humanity from an algorithm-dominated life of flattening dullness and mediocrity. We go deep on the state of publishing, the cult of identity, AI's role in human (poetic) deadness, on the the fun polarizing Edward De Vere theory of Shakespearean authorship, the disappearance of true literary dissent, and the neoliberal endgame of cultural homeostasis. On men and marginalization, the phobia of criticism in artistic spaces, and the tragedy of becoming cosmopolitan in the most banal sense. On the poetics of evil, on Vanessa Place, the battle between light and dark, the oversupply of menstruation poems and apocalypse. On breaking free of guardrails on the true task of poetry: not to comply, but to break the spell.On Mission And I am conversely just trying to…help people live well, see through some of this programming, make more informed choices, not create infrastructure that isolates people and demoralizes them under the guise of uplifting others. I'm trying to, if anything, onboard people to poetry, but to just get them to think very critically about the practices we currently have in place at this point in time right now.On Being A Poet But.. you just have to understand that as a poet you're gonna fly under the radar for a long while, potentially maybe your whole life. And if you're not cool with that, then become an Instagram poet. But if you wanna do something meaningful and you want to, actually take a serious go at this. You gotta be ready for a lot of disappointment upfront and potentially for the rest of your life.On Poetics of Evil / Vanessa PlaceTo promote evil as the great sort of aesthetic agenda - I would promote the exact opposite… I don't think crucifying people and institutions…under the guise of demonstrating strength is what we're trying to do here, because what is strength, quote unquote in artistic endeavor.Save it for the f*****g battlefield…I think it gets so messy when you take that on as your primary aim, as a creative you're really just a soldier in disguise. And those types can sometimes conceal it very well, but I think they're doing a gross injustice to their fellow man On The Polarizing Debate surrounding Edward De Vere as Shakespeare The De Vere stuff, because no one will listen to me talk about this anytime I try to talk about this in person, to anyone.They give me that same look like they're just mortified. That I would suggest a country bumpkin couldn't write the the most immortal works in our language. But you even post this stuff on 4Chan's lit. board and all that, and they would just melt down over this idea.  What seems more realistic? A highly educated, noted poet of nobility with tons of money and connections to the most famous and let's say, accomplished academics in the London circles like Francis Bacon and stuff like that. It's either that guy doing this or a country bumpkin who can't even sign his own name.Jasper's Post Script Additional Notes and LinksMy scorn for Vanessa Place is limitless. But for those interested in the essay discussed in the interview, and the theories that drive some of the very worst figures in poetry and culture-manipulation, consult the following: https://www.academia.edu/2778740/Radically_Evil_Poetics. And maybe treat yourself to one of Place's wretched Yoko Ono-esque conceptual art performance pieces while you're at it.But for a more entertaining diversion re: Shakespeare, avail yourself to some of Alexander Waugh's YouTube content on Edward de Vere (there's a lot of it).For a short-hand summary of the de Vere case, see: https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/top-reasons-why-edward-de-vere-17th-earl-of-oxford-was-shakespeare/. And for a supremely autistic (schizophrenic, maybe?) look at some of the finer details underlying the conspiracy, you might watch something like the following video: Henrie IX: Shakespeare, Edward de Vere, and Henry WriothesleyIn some ways, the potential "easter eggs" of this theory and de Vere's hidden lines in the sonnets and such inspired the ones I hid within Echolalia Review that are waiting to be discovered. Lastly, I cited John Donne at one point as being involved in the Rosicrucian collaborative aspect of the theory (along with Bacon and Marlowe), but I meant John Dee.Pick up a copy of: Echolaliapere ube pressJasper Ceylon SubstackJasper Ceyon BiographyEqual parts “Ezra Pound if he were a Discord user” and 21st-century Ern Malley, Jasper Ceylon takes inspiration from the titans of English-language poetry, as well as its great satirists and provocateurs.

We are doing a reairing this week of episode 80 of Diverse Thinking Different Learning in which we talked with Dr. Barry Prizant. This episode is being revisited at a perfect time because this is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. In this episode, Dr. Prizant helps us understand why it's important to stop labeling certain behaviors in children as intentional defiance or difficulty. Dr. Barry Prizant is a speech-language pathologist with nearly five decades of experience working with individuals with autism and their families. He serves as a Visiting Scholar at Brown University and directs Childhood Communication Services, and he is widely published, including The SCERTS Model as well as multiple books and over 130 scholarly works. Dr. Prizant has delivered more than 900 presentations worldwide, including twice at the United Nations, and he has received many awards for his contributions to the field. The truth (as Dr. Prizant discusses) is that challenging behaviors are not always just the child being deliberately defiant for the sake of it. It is sometimes the child's way of dealing with anxiety and/or emotional overwhelm, and Dr. Prizant discusses this alongside insights from his book Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism. Encouraging us to reconsider how we interpret challenging behaviors, he suggests that we not try to eliminate these actions but rather try to better understand the reason(s) behind them. Dr. Prizant stresses the fact that real progress comes not from suppressing behaviors but from nurturing a child's strengths, enhancing their abilities, and providing a supportive environment. After all, in doing so, children can begin to display more positive behaviors and enjoy a greater sense of well-being. Throughout the conversation, we also explore why it's important to take a closer look at children's interests and passions which are far too often misunderstood or undervalued and how we can use those passions as gateways to growth and learning, so whether you are a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode offers valuable insights into how to connect with and support children in more empowering ways.   Show Notes: [0:05] - Karen announces a new podcast schedule and reintroduces Dr. Prizant's episode on kids' passions. [4:35] - Dr. Prizant highlights his book's update and its alignment with evolving autism advocacy. [6:09] - Decades of developmental training helped shape Dr. Prizant's strength-based, human-centered view of autism. [8:14] - Understanding autistic behavior requires empathy and rejecting interpretations such as “noncompliance.” [10:05] - Dr. Prizant urges professionals to self-reflect and further explore the reasons behind challenging behaviors. [12:31] - Dr. Prizant argues that children cannot learn or connect effectively when overwhelmed emotionally. [15:50] - Echolalia and personal interests can be strengths that lead to communication, connection, and self-esteem. [19:06] - Passion-based learning can evolve into broader knowledge when adults nurture and expand children's interests. [22:47] - Dr. Prizant points out how dismissing a child's passion shuts down connection. [24:13] - Children's deep interests can enrich families and communities, even guiding future career aspirations and expertise. [26:21] - Nurturing a child's interests can lead to connection, skill development, and social engagement.

We've broken our usual upload schedule for a very special Book Club from Heaven episode. Why? Because Echolalia Review, by Jasper Ceylon, is so painfully funny. Jasper has performed an elaborate poetic hoax: over roughly two years, he wrote a series of poems, 47 of which were published in 30 different poetry journals. The thing is, these poems were written to be as ridiculous as possible, then submitted under a series of assumed identities, also completely ridiculous. Echolalia Review is a collection of these poems, as well as explanatory notes describing the state of contemporary poetry. I cannot recommend Echolalia Review highly enough. It's hilarious.Buy Echolalia Review: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1738633926Pere Ube: https://pereube.univer.se/pressJasper's Substack: https://substack.com/@jasperceylonVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi

Episode 187: Autism FundamentalsFuture Dr. Ayyagari explains the recommended screenings for autism, how to diagnose it and sheds some light on the management. Dr. Arreaza mentions the Savant Syndrome and the need to recognize ASD as a spectrum and not a “black or white” condition.Written by Tejasvi Ayyagari, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction:Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person thinks, interacts with others, and experiences the world. It is characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction and restricted and/or repetitive behavior patterns, interests, and activities. Autism is considered a "spectrum" disorder because it encompasses a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of functioning, including Asperger's, Auditory processing disorder, Rett syndrome, etc. The exact causes of autism are not fully understood, but many question genetic and environmental factors at play.  What are some of the main characteristics of autism?1. Social difficulties: Individuals with autism may experience trouble understanding social cues or body language, leading to difficulty forming meaningful relationships. Children may display little interest in playing with others or engage in limited imaginative play (doll playing, pretend playing).2. Repetitive behaviors and interests: People with autism may engage in repetitive movements with their arms or hands and focus intensely on specific topics or activities. They may become distressed when routines are disrupted.3. Overstimulation: Individuals with autism may find multiple stimuli too overwhelming and gravitate towards either minimal stimulation or certain appealing stimulations best suited for their needs. 4. Intellectual variation: People with autism can have varying intellectual abilities, from severe mental disabilities to those who excel in specific disciplines, such as accounting or history (savants). Savant syndrome. It is a syndrome popularized by movies, TV shows and social media. The Good Doctor is a good example of it. Savant syndrome manifests by having a superior specific set of skills in a developmentally disabled person. Savants are like human supercomputers—while the rest of us are buffering, they can recall in 4K. We must not assume all people with autism are savants, unless we are particularly told about their exceptional talent.Another famous person with Savant syndrome was Kim Peek, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the 1988 movie The Rain Man. Kim Peek was later diagnosed with the FG syndrome and not autism spectrum disorder.What is the prevalence of autism?Worldwide, it is estimated that about 1 in 100 to 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, though this number can vary based on the country and diagnostic practices. In the United States, according to the CDC, as of 2023, approximately 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism.  Some studies even claim that boys are 4x more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.It is a very prevalent condition, and we have some recommendations about screenings. I feel like most parents have a “feeling” that something may be wrong with their kid, but I think most parents may feel that way, especially when they have their first baby.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children should be screened for autism at 18 months and 24 months of age during routine well-child visits, using standardized tools like the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) or other validated autism screening tools.   MCHAT is a two-step screening that requires a second visit if the first test shows moderate risk. Also, we must continue to follow up the development of kids in well child visits and be on the lookout for signs of autism, even outside of the recommended screening ages. How is autism diagnosed?Autism is typically diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 3, but it is often identified in early childhood. According to the DSM-5, there are two main clusters of symptoms for autism.- Cluster A: Involves social communication and interaction impairments in various settings.- Cluster B: Involves repetitive behavioral patterns, limited areas of interest, and atypical sensory behaviors/experiences.According to the DSM-5-TR criteria, a diagnosis of ASD requires that the following criteria are met:All three of the following Cluster A symptoms:- Social-emotional reciprocity: Difficulty engaging in mutually enjoyable conversations or interactions due to a lack of shared interests or understanding of others' thoughts and feelings.- Nonverbal communicative behaviors to socialize, such as using aspects with eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice, which makes communication more difficult.- Difficulty developing, understanding, and maintaining relationships: This could manifest as difficulty adjusting behavior to social settings, an inability to show expected social behaviors, a lack of interest in socializing, or difficulty making friends despite wanting to.Two or more of the following Cluster B symptoms:- Stereotyped or repetitive movements, use of objects, or speech: Echolalia or flapping the hands repeatedly.- Persistent sameness, where patients require adherence to routines or ritualized patterns of behavior, such as difficulty with transitions or a need to eat the same food each day.- Highly restricted, fixated interests: This may include an intense focus on specific objects (trains) or topics (such as dinosaurs or natural disasters).- Sensory response variations, including heightened or diminished responses to sensory input, such as adverse reactions to sounds, indifference to temperature, or excessive touching/smelling of objects.Additionally, the symptoms must:- Significantly impair social, academic/occupational, and daily functioning,- Not be better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay, and- Be present in early childhood. (However, symptoms may only become apparent when social demands exceed the child's capacity; in later life, they may be masked by learned strategies.)How can we go about managing autism?There is no "cure" for Autism. However, various therapies can help manage the condition. Treatment tailors to the individual's age, strengths, and weaknesses. Our main goal is to maximize function, encourage independence, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.During office visits as primary care doctors, we have to use different strategies to make the visits more focused on individual needs, making sure the caregivers are involved as well as the patient. We communicate with caregivers before and during the visit to optimize patient compliance, allow enough time for the family/caregiver to talk about the patient's history, allow the patient to play with instruments/materials provided, and use simple instructions. Sometimes, the physical exam can be the most challenging aspect of the exam because it is so overstimulating for the patient. Hence, allowing enough time for the patient to be comfortable is key.This is a multidisciplinary management that includes, family med, pediatricians, social workers, behavioral health, etc.Personal experiences interacting and managing patients with autism in the clinic or in the hospital:Dr. Arreaza: I have seen a lot of adult patients with autism.I see a challenge commonly found is agitation and the use of medications. I prefer to defer any prescriptions to psychiatry, if needed, but behavioral concerns can be successfully managed by behavioral health with participation of family, caregivers, and especial education.TJ:  Personal story with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).Conclusions: Dr. Arreaza: Autism is a spectrum, not all persons with ASD are the same. They are not all geniuses, and they are not all developmentally delayed, they are not just black or white, but there are several shades of gray in between. TJ:  Not one doctor or one family will take care all responsibility, it requires a multifaceted approach.People with autism can live a long and meaningful lives.Thank you for listening to this week's episode on Autism. We will see you next time.  Have a nice day.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this episode, we discuss the intricate relationship between Autism and speech & language, emphasizing the critical role of neuroscience in understanding these dynamics. The discussion begins by highlighting how speech and language are foundational to human evolution and social interaction, yet pose unique challenges for individuals with Autism. The episode explores the brain's key regions involved in these processes, such as Broca's area, responsible for speech production, and Wernicke's area, crucial for language comprehension. These regions are connected by the arcuate fasciculus, a white matter tract essential for language processing, repetition, and verbal working memory.The podcast also examines how the basal ganglia, particularly the dorsal striatum, contributes to speech fluency and motor sequencing, including the articulation of words. By integrating neuroscience, we gain insight into the biological underpinnings of communication difficulties in Autism, such as delays in language processing and the phenomenon of "choppy" speech, which are linked to less coherent organization within these neural pathways.The episode further unpacks the concept of neuroplasticity and its implications for Autism, emphasizing the brain's ability to adapt through practice and repetition, leading to habits. The discussion also touches on the role of the dorsal medial striatum in goal-directed learning and the dorsal lateral striatum in habit formation, illustrating how these areas influence speech and language acquisition. Additionally, the podcast explores the phenomenon of echolalia, often observed in Autistic individuals, as a potential mechanism for processing delays or as a result of cyclical loops in the basal ganglia.The interplay of neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate is highlighted, explaining the excitation-inhibition imbalance often seen in Autism, which affects sensory processing and communication. By framing these challenges through the lens of neuroscience, the episode underscores the complexity of social interaction for Autistic individuals and the importance of understanding the brain's predictive and adaptive mechanisms to better support their needs.00:00 - Introduction to Autism and Speech02:02 - The Speaker-Receiver Dynamic in Autism04:02 - Visual Thinking and Processing in Autism06:18 - Neuroscience of Speech and Language08:20 - The Role of the Basal Ganglia in Speech10:39 - Echolalia and Sensory Processing Delays16:53 - Neuroplasticity and Speech Therapy17:22 - Reflexes, Inhibition, and GABA in Speech and Autism20:02 - Basal Ganglia Circuits, Motivation, and Echolalia from getting "stuck"24:03 - Language Acquisition and Rule-Setting in Autism27:47 - Energy, Learning, and Social Challenges30:15 - Contingency-Based Learning and Outcomes31:46 - Reviews/Ratings and Contact infoX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

What was it like to raise an autistic child 30 years ago? Mark has a fascinating chat with Stephanie - his wonderful neighbour from over the road, who has a 31 year old son (diagnosed autistic with moderate learning difficulties, OCD and anxiety).  They discuss how parents of autistic children were able to navigate the process of understanding how best to raise their kids, without access to the internet, social media or the breadth of information we have available now?  This is an enlightening and surprisingly uplifting episode, which shines a light on just how far society has come in a relatively short space of time, when it comes to understanding, supporting and championing our neurodivergent kids.

Hey Friends~  Are you wondering  why your child echoes you?  Do they not really answer the question, but actually repeat what you say,  back to you?  This pattern of communication is indicative of a Gestalt Language Processor.   This pattern is common among kiddos with autism. Kids without autism  may also use this pattern of language, though it is most common in the very early years.  How do you manage this?  Always respond  Be a sleuth - figure out what that echo might represent Embrace their attempts to communicate Understand this is a script Listen in for examples and ideas for how to respond, what to look for, understanding the scripts, and how to increase your child's  interactive language in supportive ways.   Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   Affiliate RESOURCES I love:  BabyQuip is the #1 baby gear rental service, and a total game changer for families who don't want to haul bulky gear while traveling!

Episode 98Unlock the secrets of gestalt language processing as we sit down with Kathy Schilling, a leading speech and language therapist and the visionary behind the Speech Den. Cathy unravels the intricacies of this unique form of communication, especially prevalent among neurodiverse children, and how it contrasts with traditional language development. Dive into the world of echolalia, where children's repeated phrases hold profound meaning, serving as more than just mimicry. We explore the pioneering works of Anne Peters and Dr. Barry Prizant, along with Marge Blanc's influential study, which laid the groundwork for the natural language acquisition framework.Discover how to become an astute detective in recognising and supporting gestalt language processors (GLPs). Cathy and I shed light on identifying early signs like echolalia, where children's echoed phrases from media and interactions are meaningful communicative attempts. We emphasise the role of parents in interpreting these signals, which sometimes include non-verbal cues like replaying media clips. Learn strategies to nurture these unique communication styles, enhancing understanding neurodiverse children's distinct language paths.This episode is a guide to fostering a supportive learning environment tailored to the individual needs of GLPs. Cathy shares stories and practical insights on the significance of intrinsic motivation, challenging traditional literacy methods, and embracing child-led learning. Hear compelling narratives that illustrate how understanding gestalt thinking can transform educational approaches, especially in the face of cognitive disruptions. We wrap up with actionable advice for parents who suspect their child might be a GLP, stressing the importance of observation, patience, and professional consultation in supporting their unique communicative journey.Key Recommendations and ResourcesBooksNatural Language Acquisition on the Autism Spectrum: The Journey from Echolalia to Self-Generated Language by Marge Blanc (available soon at the Speech Den).Additional handouts and resources on GLP at Natural Communication Center.Webinars and CoursesFree one-hour webinar by Alexandria Zakos on GLP through Meaningful Speech.Parent and professional training programs offered by Cathy's team at the Speech Den.Social Media and BlogsFollow these experts for strategies, insights, and affirming practices:Alexandria Zakos (@MeaningfulSpeech)Rachel Dorsey, SLP (@RachelDorseySLP)Crescendo Communication (@CrescendoComm)Happy Chatters (Autism-specific after-school support in London)Additional InsightsCathy recommends checking out Learn Play Thrive's podcast episode featuring Alexandria Zakos on GLPs.Occupational Therapy by Kelsey Olds focuses on regulation and sensory-based play.Activities like music therapy and sensory engagement can help children regulate and communicate effectively.For Further ExplorationVisit The Speech Den for Cathy's courses and resources.Explore Instagram for practical daily tips from experts like @HappyChatters and @MeaningfulSpeech.Investigate your child's unique sensory preferences and play preferences to better support their communication.Join the SEND Parenting Community on Whatsapp. Either click here or send a message to +447856915105  , and I will personally add you to the private group, where we can cwww.sendparenting.com

  In this episode, I had the absolute joy of chatting with Marge Blanc about Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Natural Language Acquisition (NLA). Marge has spent over 50 years supporting children's language development, and her openness and curiosity have shaped so much of what we know today. We discuss how paying close attention to children's unique communication and interactions can inform how we support them.   We cover these areas and more:   Key terms - Marge defines GLP, ALP, and NLA History and shifts in our understanding of GLP and NLA The state of research and the various forms that our 'evidence' can and should take Research gaps and future directions Responding to critics of NLA and GLP Simple and deeply important strategies to support Autistic children - for parents and professionals   This episode is an insightful overview of 'where we've been and where we're going'... and my deep overt admiration for Marge's work! Whether you're a speech therapist, educator, or parent, you'll come away inspired to support Neurodivergent children in meaningful, individualised ways.   Marge and I would both love to hear your feedback and thoughts, so feel free to email me hi@playlearnchat.com or get in touch with us on Instagram - Marge is @blancmarge and I'm @play.learn.chat   Links and resources discussed: The Communication Development Center: https://communicationdevelopmentcenter.com/ The Speech Den Gestalt Language Processors Conference: https://register.glpconference.co.uk/gestalt-language-processors-2024-conference Barry Prizant's articles about Echolalia: https://barryprizant.com/resources/downloads/echolalia-articles/ Marge Blanc's article 'Finding the Words to tell the "whole" story - Natural Language Acquisition on the Autism Spectrum(2005) https://communicationdevelopmentcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Finding-the-words-to-tell-the-whole-story.pdf Uniquely Human Podcast Episode 114 - Marge Blanc and Alex Zachos speaking with Barry Prizant - https://uniquelyhuman.com/2024/09/13/gestalt-language-processing-and-natural-language-acquisition-marge-blanc-alex-zachos/ Marge's training through AGOSCI - What's Good About Echolalia?

"Echolalia" might seem like mere mimicry to some but, for many autistic individuals, it's a profound way to connect and communicate. In this episode we challenge the often-pathologised views of echolalia, highlighting its role in creating warmth and fostering joint attention. Join us as we celebrate the nuances of language, accents, and sensory experiences in autistic communication. Through personal stories and reflections we explore how unconscious speech adaptations and repetitive behaviours provide consistency, creativity and joy. As well as the similarities in our experiences, this episode also showcases some differences between us in relation to the ways our hyper-connected brain pathways respond to the world.  It's always good to be reminded of the old adage "If you know one autistic person, you know one autistic person!"

In s3e59, Platemark host Ann Shafer continues talking to artists included in Print Austin's 5x5 exhibition, juried by Myzska Lewis, a curator at Tandem Press. Second up is Anna Trojanowska, an artist and lithographer from Wroclaw, Poland. Anna creates collages made from lithographs, which she creates on a single marble slab in her garage studio. The works included in 5x5 seek to give the feeling of echolalia, a form of autism in which words and phrases are repeated over and over. That repetition is a central part of the collages and gives the feeling of uncontrolled reverberation. Ann and Anna talk about falling in love with lithography, what it's like to use marble instead of limestone, how the veins in marble wander as the stone is ground down, how to transfer sound into images, and the surprise technique she would turn to if she had to give up lithography.

This week, we share an amazing interview with Dr. Barry Prizant! Dr. Prizant is well-known for his work related to autism and echolalia, including research that was heavily cited by Marge Blanc and the Natural Language Acquisition framework behind gestalt language processing. Dr. Prizant discusses how he came to learn about echolalia and the confluence of research that suggested that echolalia had a communicative function (which he studied during his doctoral research). He also shares about the research behind gestalt language processing, how we can tell if someone has a gestalt or an analytical language learning bias, the true meaning of evidence-based practice, and more!    Key Ideas this Week:

Echolalia is a noun that refers to the meaningless repetition of another person's spoken words.  Coming from the late 19th century, our word of the day takes its prefix from the Greek word echo (EK oh) a word used to describe a repetition, and combines that with the Latin word lalia (LA lee uh) meaning ‘speech.'  Originally used to describe a medical condition, echolalia may describe any kind of meaningless repetition of someone else's words. Here's an example: The arguments between my kids can get pretty tedious. It's basically just fifteen minutes of echolalia followed by doors slamming loudly.

I've been thinking about the direction. I want NeuroDivergent Rebel to go in the new year, and I've built up with the help of all of you, this platform that I think is really awesome, but I think it has the potential to be even more awesome. And as many of you know, the reason I started asking autistic is because I never want my voice to be the only voice that's heard on this platform. So I ask a lot of questions, hoping that many of you will share your experiences as well. And in the new year, I'm hoping to start interviewing other NeuroDivergent voices in the community.

Today's Song of the Day is "Echolalia" from Yves Tumor's album, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), out March 17th.Yves Tumor will be performing at First Avenue on Saturday, May 13th.

Yves Tumor - Echolalia from the 2023 album Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) on Warp. Genre-bending visionary Yves Tumor is set to release their fourth full-length Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) on March 17th and the anticipation couldn't be higher. After breaking through in a big way with their acclaimed 2020 record Heaven To A Tortured Mind, Tumor has been proving their rock god excellence through their expertly crafted blend of rock, psychedelia, R&B, and electronica as well as their larger-than-life androgynous stage persona. The second single off the album, released in February, is our Song of the Day “Echolalia.” Led by syncopated drumming and a buzzing guitar riff, the song churns with momentum as Tumor sings of an all-consuming kind of love to a person referred to as “God” and the madness a love like this provokes. Meanwhile, the spoken-word interlude advises against this. “If you say you love me and you, like, your happiness only depends on me, it might not be true love. Maybe it's something you need and you want, but you think it's love, it's not love.” The song comes with a striking video directed by Jordan Hemmingway which leans on a Gulliver's Travels-type theme, with a team of tiny Tumors taking down one giant one. Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) is produced by Noah Goldstein (Frank Ocean, Rosalía, Drake, Rihanna, Bon Iver), and mixed by Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails). It also features contributions from Chris Greatti (Yungblud, WILLOW), Yves Rothman (Girlpool, Amaarae) and Rhys Hastings. Watch the video for “Echolalia” and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yves Tumor is kicking off their world tour at Coachella this year, so it's time to get prepared. If you're up for a boundless sound that's both experimental and electronic, you'll find it in “Echolalia,” out ahead of their new album, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), which drops in March.

Have you heard of Gestalt Language Processing? I've been getting questions and SLP-BCBA Sari Risen joins me to help answer them. We discuss how Gestalt relates to Echolalia and Scripting, how these tools apply in teaching language and communication, and evidence and research related to Gestalt.

This week, we present Part 1 of Chris and Rachel's interview with Marge Blanc and Alexandria Zachos. Alexandria and marge are two SLPs who have written and presented nationally on the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework and Gestalt Language Processing. The NLA framework looks at the different ways that people, especially people with autism, develop language. One important aspect of this is “gestalts”which are strings of language that can be long or short, and are often tied to an emotional, meaningful, or dramatic experience. This portion of the interview focuses primarily on delayed echolalia, which is stage one of the Natural Language Acquisition framework, .   Before the interview, Chris shares about a previous experience learning about “learning styles” in grad school (e.g. visual learner, auditory learner), and how that was contradicted by later evidence. Chris discusses ASHA's triangle of evidence based practice (e.g. what research says, what clients who got the intervention say, and what experts in that area say about the concept) and how he uses it to engage with new ideas and concepts with a balance of skepticism and openness to new ideas.    Key ideas this week:  

Guest: Jodi Thomas is a language pathologist and owner of Growing Voices Speech and Language Therapy based in East Valley Phoenix, AZ. Jodi Thomas has training in autism and gestalt language processing and opened her private practice to give children the 1 on 1 attention they deserve.  Interview: There are two ways children develop language: analytical and gestalt. Children with autism often develop language using gestalt, and that requires using a different framework for evaluations and treatment to adequately meet their needs. Gestalt means whole. One key factor that is focused on with gestalt is echolalia. Echolalia is the repetition of another person's spoken word.  Different Types of Echolalia There are three types of echolalia. The first type is immediate echolalia. With immediate echolalia the child will simply follow another person's speech. The second type is delayed echolalia. This type of echolalia tends to happen at a later time and can be produced with no communicative intent. This manner in a way a child communicates is called scripting. This means that the child is repeating words or phrases they're heard from a parent or tv show. The last type is mitigated echolalia. This is where the child will make a change in wording or intonation made by the person that is speaking to him or her. These different types of echolalia are important to appropriately use gestalt language processing to treat a child.  Different Stages of Gestalt Language Processing  Children who develop a gestalt way of language development learn communication phrases in chunks. In stage 1, a child will start by simply mimicking phrases they hear. During this stage, they will repetitively use the phrases they have acquired and will even attempt to copy the tone of voice the original speaker has. In stage 2, a child will start to break down the chunks of phrases they've stored. A child will begin pairing those phrases together and even start to pair them with new words. Oftentimes they will also start to mix and match different echolalia with their phrases. When a child reaches stage 3, they will use two-word combinations with singular words. This can appear like a backslide in their language because the utterances of phrases can become shorter. During stages 4, 5, and 6, a child can self-generate sentences, learn grammar, and begin to answer questions. During all the stages, it's important to validate your child's communication and help them model new phrases to build their gestalt up. During all stages, try not to ask too many questions as it may overwhelm and frustrate your child.  Ways to Model New Gestalt Phrases  A child first needs to learn new phrases that can be broken down when he/she reaches stage 2. Some common mitigated phrases that can help a child do this begin with the words let's, it's, and I'm. Judy Thomas has noticed that many speech therapists try to use phrases that begin with “I want,” and this phrase can cause a child to get stuck in their development. The goal is for a child to create spontaneous utterances and not just memorize phrases. The best time to help a child model new phrases is during natural child child-led play.  Recap: Don't ignore your child's echolalia. This is an important part of how your child communicates by learning the meaning behind your child's use of phrases will help move development along.  Model back-and-forth phrases through natural play to make learning fun for your child. Remember not to ask too many questions that may frustrate your child and cause him/her to shut down. Walk through the steps of the gestalt learning process appropriately with the help of a speech therapist.  Resources: https://www.growingvoicestherapy.com https://www.facebook.com/growingvoicestherapy  https://www.instagram.com/growingvoices.speech/  https://www.meaningfulspeechregistry.com https://www.meaningfulspeech.com/blog/twotypesoflanguagedevelopment   Subscribe Now & Leave a Review Apple Podcasts, Spotify,  Google Podcast, &  Stitcher Visit our Website www.pureheartstherapy.com Follow Us: Facebook: Pure Hearts Therapy Facebook Group: Autism Family Resource Instagram: Purehearts_Therapy

Though each and every single Autistic Person is different, many Autistic People make different noises, repeat sounds, or make other vocalizations. There are three main types of Autistic vocalizations I'm going to be talking about in this week's video: the first one is echolalia, the next one is Palilalia, and verbal stimming.

A member of our audience brought a situation to us that involves a three-year-old non-speaking autistic child. He has a tendency to open and close sliding doors and also a tendency to hurt other children. He's the same across all environments. This type of behavior is worth targeting, especially since other kids are being injured. Based on the details we have, it seems like the behavior is getting automatically reinforced. Sensory or automatic behaviors often become the catch-all for things that have no antecedents. Kids will sometimes engage in automatic behaviors just because they feel good.After you determine that behavior is being automatically reinforced, you have to then determine what it is about the behavior that the child likes. In other words, you have to figure out the function of the reinforcement. With our example, it could be that the child really enjoys the visual of seeing doors open and close or an associated sound. Sometimes it helps if you engage in the behavior yourself to explore the possibilities. Once you figure out the function, then you can take a look at potential replacement behaviors.What's Inside:How to determine the function of automatically reinforced behaviors.How to introduce replacement behaviors.When to reduce a sensory behavior.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

There's a lot of talk about compliance during the school day for students who have an IEP. What should your child be doing? What guidelines do they need to follow? What needs to happen? And is this compliance or connection? All of these things get wrapped up into a bigger emotional conversation. That's exactly why I brought Katja Piscitelli (@bohospeechie) to talk about connection vs. compliance and how we can help understand our students behavior and language through motivation and communication!

We received a question from a member on echolalia and scripting and wanted to share our thoughts in this episode. They were wondering if there were any practical tips to help reduce scrolling responses, as their current treatment methods weren't working. First, it's important to identify if the behavior is associated with specific operants. Therapist responses are important to note as well. With imitation, if we're not doing enough mixing and varying, the student may resort to the one action they're most comfortable with. When we add variety, the student is forced to look and imitate, reducing the scrolling.To prevent scrolling, we typically start with a set of two or three labels or actions at a time. With error correction in verbal scrolling or echolalia, reduce the number of targets until the child masters a few before moving on. Age is also an important factor, as many young mainstream children don't have a lot of intraverbals either. We cover the two reasons echolalia happens and how we can prevent and treat it. It all comes down to good teaching, considering the child's skills, using the right error correction procedures.  What's Inside:How to address echolalia and scrolling with students.How to use error correction procedures.Why echolalia happens and how to treat it. Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

He's always been the wild one. The one who works with giant horses with no fear, who starts conversations with stranger.The one who repeats facts about NASCAR, horses, and the Blue Jays. The one who has never consistently slept through the night, and seems as though he's driven by a motor.We've always known that Graeme is different, and we started pushing for answers, only to be told that he's defiant and difficult, and that our parenting was to blame.In this episode, Shannon talks openly about the process of searching for a diagnosis for their son, how it feels to be dismissed within the medical community, and how one practitioner can change everything.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Chante Douglas, a single mother, an autism advocate, a military veteran having served in the air force and a published author, bring awareness and advocacy about the autism community.  We cover so many topics, including when her son, Levi, was diagnosed, the mental health challenges she has faced, and how she has been working through them. Helping her son with his mental health after he had a 'terrible, terrible day,' which she drew inspiration from for her upcoming book that is going to be released soon called, "Are You Okay?"She literally turned her son into a superhero, Echoboy, as well as introducing his side-kick, ABC Girl! Driving more representation in the black and brown communities, especially related to autism, is really important to Chante.  Chante has taken her pain and driven it to her purpose, using writing as a way to express herself through her poetry, but also writing childrens books, not only to help other children with autism know they are not alone, but also to educate other children (neurotypical) about autism. She is an inspiration, through advocating for her son, being vulnerable in sharing her journey and impacting others in a positive way. Check out the books she has available to purchase (see links below), as well as connect with Chante through the many channels she is available. Through connection, we can find unity, through unity, we can find solutions and support for each other.  Books to Purchase:The Adventures of Echo boy And ABC girl https://www.amazon.com/dp/1686224591/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_0RM7D9F5EWWQPK6QRB2A ABC GIRL- The Wonderful World of ABCs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KMBY758/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_8533R7VR1WNV6MCN77SYConnect with Chante: Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/echoboyabcgirlFacebook Personal: https://www.facebook.com/chante.douglasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/echoboysmom82/Twitter: https://twitter.com/levismom82?lang=enSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/susanfink.rise)
