On this episode of Attack the Backlog, I blow up everything but dolls in Just Cause 3, a game where you cause mayhem and destruction...just 'cause. This marks a first for Attack the Backlog. This is the first time I've ever gone back into my backlog to finish an old save, instead of restarting a game from the beginning (if it's something I've played before, but never finished). I won't go into further detail here--I have to leave some reason for you to check out the episode (in case my sultry voice isn't enough on its own)--but I will say I 100% made the right decision in choosing to continue my old save instead of starting a new one (and no, not just 'cause).

You are in for a treat with this episode, because on Diverse Thinking Different Learning, it is Game Time! Did you know that the board games that might be collecting dust on your shelves could be used to help children? They help all children, but can be very powerful tools for those who learn and think differently. Not only are games fun to play, but they can be used to improve language skills, executive functioning, memory, and numerical skills. Today's guest lists many of the ways that a simple card game can be “up-leveled” to facilitate learning. Stephanie Pitts, owner of My Ed Therapist, is known as “The Game Whisperer” and in this episode she shares her experience with games in her practice. With over 200 games in her collection, Stephanie has creative ideas that give a simple game the twists it needs to become something even better - a learning tool. Be sure to also check out the links below and follow her on Instagram to find ways to facilitate learning during your next family game night.     Show Notes: [3:20] - Specifically for kids who learn differently, games are very helpful, but we don't often use them. [4:34] - What better way to reach a child than by having fun? [6:10] - Games can be made to be educational and can target many skills. [7:03] - For many kids who have already experienced so much failure, winning a game that is educational without them realizing is impactful. [8:34] - Stephanie says that games are “low investment, high return.” [9:44] - Some games are specifically designed to target a specific skill, but Stephanie demonstrates how other games can be “up-leveled” and used differently. [11:15] - Games can also be used as a simple break between difficult tasks. [13:11] - By using games, you can gather so much information about someone. [14:38] - Stephanie explains that video games have provided an outlet for students during the pandemic but when it affects behavior, it could be a problem. [17:20] - As a result of the pandemic, socializing and problem solving have been affected. [19:02] - Games provide practice for students without the pressure of earning a grade. [20:20] - Stephanie gives some examples on how games can support reading comprehension and following directions. [23:00] - As a parent, don't overthink it. Just simply play the game and have fun. [24:40] - Some games can even help auditory processing. [25:08] - Stephanie lists some of her favorite games to target specific skills. [27:43] - Some games take too long for Stephanie to play with her clients in a session, but she recommends playing them as a family or looking into the junior version. [28:57] - Stephanie is very active on Instagram where she shares different ways to use games. She is also the co-host of the Learn Smarter podcast.    About Our Guest: Stephanie Pitts is the owner of My Ed Therapist, an educational therapy group practice in Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, and virtually, nationwide. She works with students one-on-one to help parents get a full picture of what is going on with their children, reading reports, conducting assessments, and creating and attending individualized learning plans and meetings. Known as “The Game Whisperer,” with a collection of over 200 games she uses with her clients, Stephanie expertly weaves fun and play into her work with clients to help them have more fun learning and make better connections between kids, parents, and educators. Stephanie is a Los Angeles native and received her B.A. in Sociology from USC and a Master's Degree in Education from Pepperdine University.
