This week, we share Part 2 of Chris and Rachel's TWT Live episode recorded at the 2024 Arkansas Speech and Hearing Association! In this half of the episode, they share about modeling, teaching AT tools, strategies to support language development, and more!   Before the interview, Rachel shares about her experience teaching her grandmother to use a screen reader to regain independence despite vision loss. They discuss the broader implications of teaching technology usage, advocate for integrating tools like the Pomodoro Technique into education, the need for accessible design, and more!   Key Ideas this Episode:   Overcoming Barriers to AAC Adoption: The hosts emphasized the importance of asking questions to uncover the reasons behind resistance or challenges in implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). This approach helps identify specific roadblocks and creates opportunities to educate and empower teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents.   The Role of Coaching and Modeling: The conversation highlighted the importance of hands-on coaching and modeling AAC use directly in classrooms. This strategy allows educators to learn by example and practice implementing AAC tools effectively, fostering better long-term adoption and skill development.   Inclusive Decision-Making and Customization: Engaging all stakeholders (teachers, parents, service providers, and students) in a structured decision-making process ensures that AAC tools and strategies are well-suited to the student's needs. This collaborative approach builds ownership and buy-in, making implementation more successful and sustainable.   Visit talkingwithtech.org to listen to previous episodes, find new resources, and more!   Help us develop new content and keep the podcast going strong!

Today, I'm excited to discuss the profound impact of early language and speech experiences on cognitive and academic skills, specifically reading skills. Joining us is a seasoned expert in the field, Stacy Payne, a speech-language pathologist and the founder of Bright Beginnings Pediatric Services. Stacy shares her insights on the importance of creating a language-rich environment for children from an early age. She explains how these early interactions, much more than simple bedtime stories, are integral to cognitive development. Through everyday activities and conversations, parents and caregivers can significantly influence a child's language acquisition and communication skills. We also explore the complexity of the developing brain and how language and communication skills evolve throughout childhood. Stacy highlights the importance of repetition in creating new neural pathways and how incorporating language-building strategies into daily routines, like grocery shopping, can make a huge difference. For those concerned about missing critical language milestones in early childhood, Stacy offers reassurance that the brain can learn new skills and adapt at any age. She also shares exciting opportunities to maximize learning during the summer months, including intensive skill-building camps provided by Bright Beginnings Pediatric Services. This is definitely a conversation you don't want to miss! Show Notes: [2:33] - Speech and language therapy addresses more than just articulation. [3:47] - Stacy explains that speech and language pathology includes everything “above the waist.” [5:01] - It is anything that can get in the way of a person communicating. [7:15] - Language doesn't just include verbal communication. The brain is very complex and we have a lot of modalities to communicate. [8:36] - Stacy explains how language and communication develop in an infant's developing brain. [12:17] - We need to be able to provide a language-rich environment for our developing children. [13:52] - There are so many opportunities in simple day-to-day interactions to integrate language development strategies. [15:12] - The brain requires repetition to develop a new skill and create a new neural pathway. [16:51] - Build language into your day. Think about the countless opportunities at the grocery store. [19:04] - Stacy describes some of the important considerations if a child is growing up in a household of multiple languages. [22:28] - It is important to continue these conversations throughout the child's life, not just in the early years. [24:39] - Talking through things is also a form of modeling. These are all teaching and learning moments. [26:39] - A lot of times, people don't have the words to express themselves. [28:08] - After articulation, pay attention to reading and writing. [31:30] - Sometimes we forget about the things that we can pull into language development as we work on goals and articulation. [33:35] - Stacy discusses cognitive training that speech-language pathologists go through that are typically unexpected by most people. [35:06] - If something is missed in childhood, it's not forever. The brain can still learn new things and how to do things in new ways. [41:26] - We can maximize the summer months to work intensively on these skills. Stacy shares the summer camps available.

In episode 63 of “Are they 18 yet?”®, I share a Q & A from the Language Therapy Advance Foundations members' group about dyslexia diagnosis and treatment, as well as working memory goals. I get a lot of questions about who is qualified to diagnose and treat dyslexia; especially when it comes to the SLP's role in the process. Understanding the process of dyslexia diagnosis in the schools vs. medical settings can be especially confusing. That's why I wanted to share this Q & A session with my LTA members where I talked about the SLP's role in the process; including the differences between school vs. medical settings. Another topic that comes up with diagnoses like dyslexia is working memory; and I get asked all the time if addressing “working memory goals” in therapy is a good use of time (this is also relevant when considering things like ADHD or auditory processing disorder). In the second part of this Q & A, I share how to make the best use of therapy time considering the available research; including how to keep therapy functional and focused on tasks that are likely to improve “real-world” skills (as opposed to rote drill exercises with weak carryover). Some of the questions I address in this Q & A include:✅Where can you go to get an “official” dyslexia diagnosis?✅Are school therapists “qualified” to treat dyslexia, even though they might not be able to officially diagnose it?✅Is it a good use of therapy time to focus on auditory memory and working memory exercises?✅If you suspect that a child has language processing issues AND weak working memory, what should we be working on with them? In this episode I mention this position statement from the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association about the speech-language pathologist's role in reading and writing. This episode was taken from a Q & A session with Language Therapy Advance Foundations members. Language Therapy Advance Foundations is my course that teaches pediatric SLPs a framework for language therapy designed to give them the vocabulary and language processing skills needed to thrive in school and life. If you're an SLP, and you want a better system for language therapy so you can show up to sessions confident you're setting your students up for success, check out the Language Therapy Advance Foundations enrollment page here.

Are you ready to take your private practice full-time?  I know when you are first getting started, it can seem overwhelming to think about everything you need to do to get to that point. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, we are talking to one of my students, Kristin Beasley,  who started her private practice and grew it from zero to 10 clients in one month!  She provided high-quality service to her clients and the referrals started rolling in. She took her private practice full-time and now enjoys much more balance and fulfillment than ever before.  Kristin has extensive experience in the field of Speech-Language Pathology, as she has worked in several settings, including public and private education, early intervention, pediatric and adult medical facilities, and clinic-based and home health settings.  Kristin has experience in a multitude of speech, language, and feeding disorders, ranging from birth through adulthood.  While the understanding, knowledge, and experience provide a foundation and basis for therapy, Kristin's passion for families and relationships brings her skills to life.  Kristin's primary focus is the importance of building and growing relationships with her clients and families.   Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Arizona in 2003 and a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Northwestern University in 2006.  Kristin holds credentials with the American Speech and Hearing Association and is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Arizona.   Kristin lives in Arizona with her husband, three daughters, and two Goldendoodles. Hiking, traveling, and exploring new adventures are a few of Kristin's favorite things.  In Today's Episode, We Discuss: Why Kristin almost left the field of speech pathology How she decided to start a private practice How referrals grew Kristin's business quickly What Kristin did to take her practice full-time What Kristin's business looks like now How she utilizes different payers sources that send her referrals Kristin's mentality when her business faces a setback I love that Kristin pointed out that there are seasons of life that are really hard and there are really beautiful seasons. Yes, starting a private practice can seem hard, but just think about how beautiful it will be when you reach your business goals.  I have had so many students that have really impressed me and Kristin is one of them. She stands out as someone who keeps her eyes on the prize and does exactly what it takes to make it happen.  If you are just starting out, the https://www.startyourprivatepractice.com/waitlist (Start Your Private Practice Program) is for you.

Marie is a licensed speech-language pathologist with a graduate degree in speech-language pathology from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro. She also possesses the national accreditation, certificate of clinical competency, from the American Speech and Hearing Association. She is a recent graduate of The Myo Method, an orofacial myofunctional therapy course and is a private practice owner currently going through the credentialing process. She has also created “My Speech Sounds” which are a line of coloring books designed to accompany therapy by providing simple  practice steps at the word, phrase and sentence levels. Myofunctional therapy, early intervention, pediatrics and multicultural aspects (since she is half Asian and grew up in a bilingual home) are just a few of her clinical interests. Prior to becoming an SLP, Marie had two previous careers. Her first career and love was fine jewelry. Growing up, she often accompanied her mother to gem shows. Then her mom would draw out designs and have these items made by jewelers that were close friends of her family overseas. After spending approximately seven years in fine jewelry professionally and even owning a small jewelry store of her own, she changed careers into finance. Marie landed a position as a financial specialist and was promoted to a small business licensed financial specialist with a large national bank based out of North Carolina. In this role, she acquired her Series 6 and 63 investment and insurance licenses. With a focus on small business, she handled businesses ranging from $0 - $3 million in annual revenue. Being a one point of contact for business owners meant helping to manage their deposit accounts, lines of credit, commercial property lending, equipment leasing, as well as investment needs such as SEP IRAs,  and 401k plans for their employees, along with all personal banking needs too. The link between all these careers she loved the most was building relationships with clients and making them feel valued. When she found speech pathology, she knew she found her home. A career where she could build a myriad of skills and a variety of settings to choose from. After experiencing acute care, SNFs, private practice and the school system, she finally decided to follow her heart and take the leap into private practice and being a business owner once again. We get into all the things!

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are experts in language, by definition - but they may be an untapped source of professional learning for colleagues, as well as a support for developing readers and writers. What role can SLPs play in supporting literacy development in our schools? SST8's Tracy Mail recently attended a conference called Reading, Writing and the SLP: Preschool to High School, sponsored by the American Speech and Hearing Association, and she talks with our own Kim Nagy about what she learned - and how buildings and districts can put this learning to use.

March 3 is World Hearing Day. And 2018 was a very special World Hearing Day for Caroline for two reasons. First, Caroline can hear because she received a cochlear implant on December 12, 2017, and it was activated on January 29, 2018. As a result, Caroline wanted to do a second special thing: officially thank the people of Alberta and Canada for her hearing - because Canada has universal health care. Caroline and Andreas will never see a bill for the implant or processor. Andreas notes its impractical to thank everyone individually. Instead, in this episode, Caroline thanks the people of Alberta through her guest, Alberta's Minister of Health, Sarah Hoffman. Before leaving, Minister Hoffman gives Caroline the scoop with news about a new infant screen program in Alberta that has already produced results.   Special thanks to the Edmonton Office of Canadian Hard of Hearing Association.

A cochlear implant is a technical wonder, but it's also an existential feast. "I couldn't hear, and then I could." Caroline's Cochlear Kanso has been activated for one week. Caroline and Andreas share stories and observations from Caroline's first week of hearing - including the secret nightmare of the deaf. Real laughter. Real tears. Often at the same time. Welcome to the emotional roller coaster of week one.     http://mybeautifulcyborg.com If you're concerned may be suffering hearing loss, visit the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association website.

Join Amy Zellmer as she chats with speech therapist, Rachel Katz M.S., CCC-SLP, about what Aphasia and how to communicate with patients who suffer from it.  Aphasia, which is most often the result of a traumatic brain injury or stroke, doesn’t affect intelligence, so it is not hard to understand the very real struggle of the patients experiencing it. In fact, a 2010 study on the impact of 60 different diseases and 15 conditions on quality of life for more than 66,000 people found that aphasia has the largest negative impact on quality of life, more than cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Rachel is a Speech Team Leader at HealthSouth Sunrise Rehabilitation Hospital (HSSRH) specializing in aphasia, motor speech disorders, dysphagia, and cognitive rehabilitation. Her experience is with a wide variety of diagnoses, including primary stroke and brain injury patients in an acute inpatient rehabilitation setting. She is a member of the American Speech Language and Hearing Association and received the ACE award for advanced continuing education in her field. She has an advanced specialty certification in Vital Stim/NMES, Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, Deep Pharyngeal Neuromuscular Stimulation and Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy. She is a co-chair of the Joint Commission Disease Specific Stroke Program at HealthSouth Sunrise. She co-developed the Evidence-Based Cognitive Evaluation and Treatment corporate course and is a corporate clinical educator in the area of cognition. Rachel initiated and facilitates the Aphasia Community Group at HSSRH to provide education and support for people with aphasia and their family members and caregivers.

The ability for families to get services for children with developmental disabilities may increase if a new rule proposed under the Affordable Care Act becomes final. In this "Kids News Extra" segment Dr. T reviews the article, "Proposed Rule Mandates Coverage of Habilitation" from the ASHA Leader about proposed mandate to cover habilitative services. "Habilitation" is intervention to help a child build skills in which they are delayed or disordered. It's similar to the more familiar term of  "rehabilitation" whereby an individual receives intervention to regain skills that are lost second to an accident, a disease, or the like.  The ASHA Leader is a publication of the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association which provides information for the public and governs the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology. This proposed rule goes beyond speech-language and hearing services and regards global developmental issues. We hope it's helpful.
