What is Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT), and how can it support social communication skills? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jessica Osos, BCBA, to explore the definition and application of RIT—a naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) designed to teach learners to imitate spontaneously through ongoing, play-based social interaction. Unlike structured drills, RIT is child-led and play-focused, helping to build social skills that go far beyond imitation.For many SLPs and BCBAs, this is a new approach. Dr. Osos explains how the back-and-forth of imitation highlights the value in what the child is doing and how strategies like Sports Casting (narrating the interaction) can enrich play. Expanding play might mean introducing more toys, exploring new play schemas, or creating deeper sequences.Key factors for successful RIT involve simple language, emphasizing important words, being repetitive, and expanding language by copying and adding. Focusing on goals beyond imitation? RIT doesn't have to be a “this or that” choice. This child-led expansive approach works with a variety of social communication, like joint attention and more! #autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Naturalistic Intervention using Reciprocal Imitation Training.What is RIT?Expanding play for a variety of social, communication, and leisure skills. Mentioned In This Episode:Episode #146: Early Intervention and Project Impact with Anna Dvortcsak and Dr. Brook Ingersoll - ABA SpeechSpeech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're talking about the spiritual discipline of fasting – the willingness to forgo food, or social media, or some other physical or emotional comfort in order to focus more of our attention and affection on God. One of my favorite ancient theologians, Thomas A'Kempis, wrote this in his classic book “The Imitation of Christ”: True peace of heart therefore is found by resisting our passions, not by obeying them. Our Savior is the only One who can master us without abusing us. And sometimes, allowing ourselves to feel physical hunger pains is what prompts us to lean more fully into Jesus to satisfy the spiritual hunger in our hearts and minds. We're diving in pretty deep today y'all, so please grab a tall glass of something refreshing, along with your Bible and a notebook or sticky pad and come hang out on the porch with us. We're so grateful we get to spend this time with you.

How to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner   Transcript of How to Enjoy Peace of Mind   When Jesus was about to leave this world, he told his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  (John 14:27) He knew that he was headed for the cross.  He knew his disciples were going to experience trials, tough times and lots of trouble.  His gift to them was peace.  Peace of mind.  I think the idea of peace of mind gets overlooked today.  There is a lot of study on the concept of happiness, and I think these things are related.  Happiness is often connected to what you have, who you're with and where you are going.  Peace is independent of all of those things and is available to every disciple in every circumstance, right now. I want you to think about a time when you were enjoying peace of mind.  When you really felt calm and joyful inside.  What was that like?  Can you share about that experience? Let's take a look at how to enjoy more of the gift Jesus gave us, the gift of peace. 1.    Abstain from Sinful Desires.  Peter shares this in 1 Peter 2:11, “11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”  There is nothing that will destroy your peace of mind more easily than unrestrained sinful desires.  This is why Jesus counsels in Matthew 5:30 that, “if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.”  Jesus is not being mean or “old school,” he's being realistic.  If you are compromising or tolerating a certain level of sin in your life, you're going to have difficulty enjoying the peace of mind Jesus promises.  Peter rephrases Jesus' command by telling us to abstain, which means, “to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action or practice.”  That can mean alcohol, swearing, media consumption, shopping, news binging and other controlling habits. As a disciple of Jesus, this world is not your home.  You need to live with a level of detachment as a foreigner.  When Pam and I lived in Japan, there were many things that went straight over our heads as foreigners and “Gai-Jin.”  The jokes, the culture, the conformity to custom. If you want peace of mind, don't negotiate, don't tolerate, don't rationalize, instead abstain.  As Thomas A'Kempis said in the Imitation of Christ, “true peace of heart is found in resisting passions, not in yielding to them.” 2.   Put your love into action.  1 John 3:16-19.  16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.  19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence.” Resisting evil is only one part of the equation to find peace.  John advises us to live and love like Jesus did.  Loving in actions and truth reminds you that you belong to the truth and sets your heart at rest in his presence.  It doesn't earn you a spot in heaven, but it reminds you of your identity as a child of God.  If you want peace of mind, wake up each day with a determination to actively serve someone, help someone, encourage someone, assist someone, help someone move, comfort someone, advise someone, offer someone your time, energy or expertise.  Next time you are prompted by the spirit, act on that nudge.  Love in action and truth.  Enjoy peace of mind and set your heart at rest in his presence. 3.   Remember God is Greater than Your Feelings.  1 John 3:19-20.  This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Our feelings and thoughts are often the worst offenders when it comes to disrupting our peace of mind.  Our self-judgment, self-criticism, wacky thoughts, catastrophic fears, fatalistic ideas, borrowed concepts from the world, childhood thoughts, inherited ideas all contribute to a lack of peace.  As Tom Ferry says, “"Negative self-talk is the equivalent of letting a drunk monkey loose in your kitchen." That's when we need to remind ourselves that God is far greater than our feelings.  Our feelings don't define reality, they are only an impression of reality.  The God who made the world, who chose you before the creation of the world, who personally showed up in the world to rescue you is going to bring to completion what he started when he called you.  He knows all about you and your quirks, faults and failures and he still adores you.  You need to take captive those misguided thoughts and make them obedient to Christ, who is greater than your heart. Take some time each day to sit quietly and focus on the greatness of God, a scripture or a noble thought.  When a weird thought pops up, don't freak out.  Just look at it and ask yourself, is this thought from God?  What's the reality? 4.  Actively pursue peace of mind.  2 Timothy 2:22.  “22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” If you have overlooked, undervalued or ignored the concept of peace of mind, it might be time to reevaluate it.  Jesus considered it a top gift and at the critical event of his life, the cross, he gave the gift of peace to those who followed him.  You might want to find out why Jesus considered it so important.  In fact, I'd do more than think about it, I'd pursue it.  Make it a priority along with righteousness, faith a love.  All the “cool kids” who have pure hearts are doing it.  I like what Naval Ravikant shares in his almanack:  “When I was younger, I really, really valued freedom. Freedom was one of my core values. Ironically, it still is. It's probably one of my top three values, but it's now a different definition of freedom. My old definition was “freedom to.” Freedom to do anything I want. Freedom to do whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like. Now, the freedom I'm looking for is internal freedom. It's “freedom from.” Freedom from reaction. Freedom from feeling angry. Freedom from being sad. Freedom from being forced to do things. I'm looking for “freedom from,” internally and externally, whereas before I was looking for “freedom to.” Naval is not a disciple, but I think there is value here.  Peace of mind is “freedom from.”  You can enjoy peace, joy, and contentment in any stage of life, relationship status, financial circumstance, health status, location or any other environment.  Make a decision that you are going to pursue peace of mind.  Make it a conscious goal to enjoy Jesus' gift to you.

In 2022, we covered Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. While the consensus was ultimately a mixed bag, we generally liked it and thought much of what it had to offer was at least fresh and swung for the fences with ambition and Nintendo CharmThe Thousand-Year Door was released in 2004. 3 Years later, another Paper Mario game hit the shelves and proceeded to spit in the face of TTYD, the player, and gaming as a whole.Folks, meet "Super Paper Mario", the 2007 sequel to the beloved classic that does its best to be as little "paper" as possible while making a mockery of any of the Mario DNA it holds and using the word "super" in its title as nothing more than a bad punchline.Join us as we stagger our way over a game whose shortcomings make Danny Devito look lofty: Super Paper Mario.Email us questions, hate-mail, or slurs: deepfriedgamingpodcast@gmail.comX: @DFGpodcast

In this special two-part series we're tackling one of the biggest challenges many parents and educators face—potty training autistic children. I'll be sharing compassionate, practical strategies that take into account sensory differences, communication needs, and interoception, so you can feel more confident guiding your autistic child or students. Whether you're just getting started or stuck somewhere in the process, this series will give you the tools and encouragement you need. Takeaways Potty training autistic children is not a sprint—it's a marathon (or at least a half-marathon). Progress looks different for every child. Sensory sensitivities, interoception challenges, and communication differences are three of the biggest reasons potty training can be harder for autistic kids. Collecting baseline data (when accidents happen, how often they go) helps you build a roadmap for success. Making the bathroom inviting and sensory-friendly is a first step—soft lighting, calming colors, and incorporating favorite characters can reduce anxiety. Visual supports (bathroom symbols, step-by-step sequences, cue cards) build predictability and reduce uncertainty. Exposure without pressure is key—start with goals like entering the bathroom or sitting on the toilet fully clothed. Modeling helps—siblings, parents, dolls, or stuffed animals can demonstrate potty routines in a playful way. Social stories provide a predictable narrative that prepares children for what happens during potty time. Imitation skills (like copying silly faces or clapping) build the foundation for imitating potty routines later. Avoid common pitfalls: don't put kids on the toilet every 10 minutes, don't force long, stressful sits, and don't expect “3-day training” timelines to work for every child.

Ever felt like you're being copied—by something invisible? Imagine hearing your child giggling upstairs, only to find him sleeping soundly in his bed, or hearing your daughter's voice calling from another room while she's cuddled right beside you. For one Canadian family near Toronto, their rental home has become a playground for an entity that mimics their every move. Is it harmless fun, or something darker preying on their routines? Listen closely—you might start to wonder who's really upstairs. Just hope it doesn't follow you home. After all, imitation isn't always flattering—sometimes it's terrifying.

When video of Sydney Sweeney blasting a handgun in target practice emerges over the weekend, Dan is reminded of what a dead-eye shot his wife Aimee is. Are women generally better shots than men? 'Michael Bennet' makes an appearance on the show (Ryan's imitation of him, that is), and Dan has a few questions for the Senator from Colorado.

Someone copied me and it hurt more than I expected.Let's talk about something most people don't want to admit publicly ...What happens when someone follows in your footsteps but instead of feeling flattered, you feel hurt, betrayed and unsure of your place?In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a really raw and real experience I've had.Two past clients who have worked with me, have then went on to pivot or launch as being a coach for Mums in business.Same niche.Same messaging.Same offers.Same language I've used for years.And I'll be honest, it triggered me hard.This episode isn't about calling anyone out. It's about calling myself in.Because integrity matters.And so does emotional honesty.If you've ever felt copied, questioned your uniqueness or held yourself back out of fear someone else already “took your thing”... this one is for you.You'll walk away feeling seen, empowered, and reminded that your magic is uncopyable

In this sermon on Ephesians 5:1-7, we explored what it means to "walk in love" as followers of Jesus. The passage calls us to imitate God, not just in public or on Sundays, but in the everyday realities of marriage, parenting, and work—where our true character is revealed. We discussed how being a child of God means having His DNA, and that our lives should reflect Christ's love in both our actions and our words. The sermon challenged cultural ideas about love and sexuality, emphasizing that true love is selfless, disciplined, and rooted in God's design. We also examined the dangers of sexual immorality and careless speech, and the consequences these have on our lives and our inheritance in God's kingdom. Ultimately, we were reminded that God's wrath is not the opposite of His love, but rather His passionate response to anything that harms what He loves. Our call is to walk in love, following the example of Christ who gave Himself up for us.

Our guest for this episode is an incredible artist and a master of mimicry. You've seen her face and all the faces she's put on. Settle in for Pete's conversation with film and TV star, and recurring cast member on Saturday Night Live, Chloe Fineman. Chloe has acted in a long list of TV shows and films both comedic and dramatic—films like Babylon, Megalopolis, the hilarious Hulu original Summer of 69 and the upcoming Disney franchise sequel Freakier Friday. But aside from all that, did you know that Chloe is also a huge fan of fashion, and in particular of Nordstrom? We're excited and super grateful that Chloe has agreed to partner with us for this year's Anniversary Sale marketing campaign, and while she was around we decided to ask if she'd be willing to come chat with us on the Nordy Pod. (She said yes!) After Pete's conversation with Chloe, make sure to stick around and hear the story of a loyal Nordstrom customer by the name of Melanie King who contacted us recently with a really nice story about her experience shopping in one of our stores. Thanks for tuning in to episode 91. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear about what Nordstrom looks like through your eyes. Share your Nordstrom experience, good or bad, by giving us a call and leaving a voicemail at 206.594.0526, or send an email to nordypodcast@nordstrom.com to be a part of the conversation! And be sure to follow us on Instagram @thenordypod to stay up to date on new episodes, announcements and more.

This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, the sisters reconvene to recap vacations filled with missing flights, making meals, and unexpected prairie dog hunts. Courtney's Jackson Hole and Utah adventure with her daughters got off to a rocky start thanks to a Real ID snafu. But things took a turn for the mystical when she stumbled upon a 700 lb crystal while on a hike. Surrounded by her daughters, BFF Elle, and BBQ mogul Brent Harman, the group harnessed the magic to manifest their dreams “giving birth” to a new start after a hard year. She also took full advantage of vacation to cook for friends and navigate those awkward "birds and the bees" talks with her daughters. Meanwhile, Whitney's annual trip to her happy place—“Camp Ranch” in Colorado—came with a minor hiccup when her horse Sherrie broke her toe prior to departure. But nothing was going to derail her favorite Fourth of July tradition. Between watermelon pico made with love, prairie dog patrol with the family, sunset wine chats, and one very memorable rattlesnake sighting, Whitney soaked up every moment of ranch life. Shifting gears, Courtney and Whitney bravely address the recent tragic floods in Kerr County, Texas and the surrounding areas. The sisters share first-hand accounts and call on the HSET community to support their fellow Texans by donating to recovery efforts. It's an episode filled with laughter, genuine connection, and a heartfelt reminder of the power of community.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 8, 2025 is: exemplary • ig-ZEM-pluh-ree • adjective Something described as exemplary is extremely good and deserves to be admired and copied. // Our research team was awarded for our exemplary work on the project. See the entry > Examples: “[Director, Oliver] Hermanus again shows highly polished craftsmanship, adding the subtlest hint of sepia tones to evoke the period in the early sections, but never to the point where the characters compete with the settings. His direction of the actors is exemplary, even with characters seen only briefly ...” — David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter, 21 May 2025 Did you know? It's usually not a good thing if someone wants to make an example of you, unless, of course, it's because you happen to be exemplary. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, someone or something may be deemed exemplary if they, by their example, are worthy of imitation. Like a few other English words beginning with ex—such as exceptional and extraordinary—exemplary describes that which is a cut above the rest. But though exemplary, which comes from the Latin noun exemplum (“example”), describes something “excellent,” it almost always carries the further suggestion that the thing described is an excellent model to follow.

Welcome to Part 3 of my mini-series answering your burning questions! Today, we're diving into the topic of verbal imitation.When it comes to verbal imitation and echoic goals, context is everything. These goals must be functional and meaningful to the individual child in order to support communication development.As an SLP collaborating with a BCBA, and vice versa, rely on assessment tools and an SLP's robust training in speech to identify and shape functional goals. It's crucial that we plan and program with intention—otherwise, we risk discouraging a child from verbalizingThe key? Collaborate early and often. Assess together. Plan together. Use resources like the Autism IEP Goal Bank (don't miss the freebie!). Then, have the SLP on the team focus on those targeted words and move into collaboratively supporting generalization into the natural environment for a robust bank of words.Looking ahead to 2026, we're excited to explore communication disorders more deeply over at ABA Speech Connection. Stay tuned—because sometimes, you don't know what you don't know. #autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Summer mini-seriesStrategy to work collaboratively as BCBA and SLPsVerbal imitation goals Communication developmentMentioned In This Episode:Verbal Imitation Guide (Hack #19) Join our ethics course Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Daniel McInerny is associate professor and chair of the philosophy department at Christendom College in Virginia. He is also a novelist and dramatist. His scholarship is directed toward reactivating an Aristotle’s understanding of art as imitation, long out of favor among philosophers. HIs biggest step in that direction is his new book, Beauty & Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts. Peter Kreeft wrote of his previous book, The Way of Beauty, “This is literally the best book on beauty that I have ever read: the most convincing, clear, and comprehensive; the most eye-opening and satisfying; the most insightful and delightful. It is a masterpiece.” In this episode, Dr. McInerny and Jonathan Rogers talk about why human beings take so much pleasure in imitation; they talk about the odd fact that an imitation can often afford us a better insight into a thing than does the direct experience of the thing. Also, they talk about Christopher Walken.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textPlato called Homer "the educator of all Greece." But what is a Homeric education? What were the Greeks learning from their supreme bard? Furthermore, the phrase "Homeric education" contains within it a second meaning as well. What kind of education were Homer's heroes getting? In other words, how did Achilles become Achilles? In this episode, we take a close look at Chapter One of A History of Education in Antiquity, in which Henri-Irénée Marrou describes the character of Homeric education, in both its senses, focusing in both cases on "words and deeds," the two fields of excellence every hero must master. Additionally, Jonathan tries to convince Ryan that Iliad Book 9, central to Marrou's explanation of Homeric education, is a story about the triumph of rhetoric.Henri-Irénée Marrou's A History of Education in Antiquity: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780299088149Robin Lane Fox's Homer and His Iliad: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781541600447Robert Drews's Militarism and the Indo-Europeanizing of Europe: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780367886004Caroline Alexander's translation of the Iliad: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780062046291Thomas à Kempis' The Imitation of Christ: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780141191768New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Come read Homer with us.
