Earn .2 ASHA CEUs for free with code - FBSpecial: speechtherapypd.com/attachmentOften, SLPs do not fully understand their role in a patient's mental health regarding feeding. We are well aware that counseling is in our scope of practice, but even in the direct therapy we provide, we play a significant role in the mental health of a patient and their caregivers. Both communication and feeding are integral parts of the development of attachment within a caregiver-child dyad, and we have a direct role in those activities. Thus, it is our job to gain greater insight into attachment and infant feeding, specifically to understand how we can support mental health outcomes for both caregiver and child. This course will dive into the deep connections of attachment, feeding, and mental health and how we can cater our therapeutic style and sense of self to support a more healthy bond.

Last week, we celebrated THE LAST MEAL WE'LL EVER NEED -- Jesus, the Bread of Life. This week we go back to the beginning, to THE FIRST BITE that changed everything. In Genesis 3, a simple act of eating becomes a doorway to sin, shame, and separation from God. But even in humanity's fall, God's grace was already at work. Join us as we explore the story of the first meal -- and the Savior who came to make things right.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, August 10, 2025, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.

The Green Bay Packers open the Preseason against the New York Jets at Lambeau Field. The starters are expected to play, although how much remains to be seen. However, from rookie wide receivers Matthew Golden and Savion Williams to the defense's emphasis on punching at the football, there's plenty to watch throughout the Preseason. Marques highlights stuff to watch in the Preseason, including now-cornerback Bo Melton and undrafted defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Survey. (n.d.). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020_Cert_ChangesThis episode will be available for 0.1 ASHA CEU on July 2Correction Note from Dr. Betty: “During the recording I referred to the executive order targeting associations with assets of $500 million or more. I thought ASHA met that criteria but actually ASHA's net assets are around $174 million.”In this episode, Michelle and Erin host an all start line up of colleagues from across the globe to discuss ASHA's Proposed Changes to the “2020 Certification Standards” and the long-term ramifications that these changes could have for our profession. This conversation is timely in that there are only a matter of days, roughly 3 weeks or less, for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (including students) to write in and advocate to ASHA on whether the proposed changes to the 2020 Certification Standards should be accepted… changes that remove key words and language that were hard fought to obtain. Be informed that this conversation does address political rationale behind the changes and offer a plethora of resources for individuals to grow their knowledge regarding the long-term ramifications of these proposed changes… but it ends with resources on how to make your voice heard!

The vampire has long been a way to explore the shadow side of society, and “Sinners,” Ryan Coogler's new blockbuster set in the Jim Crow-era South, is no exception. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss what “Sinners,” which fuses historical realism with monster-movie-style horror, illuminates about America in 2025. They trace the archetype from such nineteenth-century texts as “The Vampyre” and “Dracula” to the “Twilight” moment of the aughts, when Edward Cullen, an ethical bloodsucker committed to abstinence, turned the vampire from a predatory outsider into a Y.A. heartthrob. What do he and his ilk have to say today? “The vampire is the one who can unsettle our notions, and maybe give us new notions,” Cunningham says. “The vampire comes in and asks, ‘But have you considered this?' ” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sinners” (2025)“Black Panther” (2018)“The Vampyre,” by John Polidori“In the Blood,” by Joan Acocella (The New Yorker)“Dracula,” by Bram Stoker“Dracula” (1931)“Love at First Bite” (1979)“The Lost Boys” (1987)“True Blood” (2008–14)“Twilight” (2008)“What We Do in the Shadows” (2019–24)New episodes drop every Thursday.
