Sophie, Anna, and Emily are part of the Hungry Mind Lab which studies the causes and consequences of individual differences in cognitive and social emotional development across the life course. Sophie is the Director of the Hungry Mind Lab, Emily is the Project Coordinator, and Anna is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Lab. Discussion points include: Insight into what the Hungry Mind Lab is. Why the team choose to focus on language and language as a key skill for success in education. The relationship between mother's everyday language usage and child's outcomes and performance in school, and how this relates to mother's socioeconomic status. Are inequalities due to how mothers speak to their children, or do they result from the economic, social, and political inequalities in which mothers raise their children? Should child development research be broadened to include other caregivers, for example fathers?

We hear from Speech and Language Pathologist Maria Gianfilippo, Founder of Organic Speech Therapy, about what it takes to raise talkative babies and toddlers.First, it's important to know what the milestones and averages are in regard to spoken words by specific age targets. Yes, every child does develop at his or her own pace; however,  within *reason*.We reflect upon the main contributors to a burgeoning vocabulary versus speech delays that should raise red flags.We learn about optimal environments and lifestyles parents can embody in order to maximize their child's communication capacity.We'll discuss why TV shows are not an appropriate substitute for 1:1 human interaction when it comes to teaching our children. It's a tough pill to swallow, but even the "educational programs" are not ideal. TV is a tool and we need to treat it as such. You'll also hear about the “wait and see” approach still recommended by pediatricians and the main reasons why speech delays have been on a significant rise over the last few years.Learn about the benefits of bi-, tri-, and quadlingualism.Resources:10% off Talkative Babies and Talkative Toddlers with our links.Note: for the Talkative Toddlers course, the discount code only works if the pay-in-full option is selected.Talkative Babies CourseTalkative Toddlers CourseMaria's free book resourceMilestone document resourceFollow Maria at @organicspeechtherapypllc If you click Maria's Talkative Toddlers & Babies links in her IG bio, you can also apply code MOTR for the 10% discount.Unapologetically Unmedicated episode 85: Signs Your Induction is BSFollow @FierceLizzie on InstagramDONATE (Thank you!!

Know someone with a lisp? Or perhaps you've questioned if your child's language or speech development is on par with their age? Maybe you feel completely clueless as to what to expect, as this is your first time around as a parent? I'll admit, I've found myself wondering at times if my daughters word pronunciations need following up with. Then I realise their actual age and have a giggle at my over analysing nature. But on the other hand, if small challenges in language and speech development are ignored, this could lead to more therapy needed later in life. It's a tricky one. So that's why we turn to experts, like Speech Pathologist Chloe Cocks.

I'm sharing my insights with you this week.   Tune in to learn a general guideline for speech milestones in children between the ages of two and five, and my top tips for supporting your child in each growth phase. You'll also hear why play is essential in building vocabulary and my favorite suggestions for integrating play as you help your child reach communication milestones.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/66

Cognitive scientist Michael Frank studies differences in how children and AI learn language. There is a “data gap” between the billions of words ChatGPT has to work with and the millions of words a toddler is exposed to. But, says Frank, children learn in a rich social context that supports their learning. He's currently conducting the “BabyView Study,” where he puts cameras on young children's heads to help him understand their learning experience, as Frank tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Episode Reference Links:Wordbank: An open database of children's vocabulary developmentManyBabiesThe SAYCamBabyView StudyConnect With Us:Episode Transcripts >>> The Future of Everything WebsiteConnect with Russ >>> Threads or Twitter/XConnect with School of Engineering >>> Twitter/XChapters:(00:00) IntroductionRuss Altman, host, introduces the episode's focus on the future of language learning and guest, Michael Frank, an expert on how children acquire language(02:05) Child Vs AI Language AcquisitionChild language acquisition and the comparison with AI systems like ChatGPT, the differences in language learning between humans and AI, including the vast data exposure AI systems have compared to children.(05:23) Data-driven ApproachesThe importance of big data in understanding language acquisition and the Wordbank database.(08:04) The Early Stages of Language LearningThe universal aspects of language learning across different languages and cultures, specifically babbling and its evolution into language-specific sounds.(10:30) Exploring Multimodal Language LearningIntroduction to the SAYcam project, and the BabyView study both using camera footage from children to gather multimodal information. (13:12) Social Learning and Language AcquisitionInsights into how social interactions and grounded contexts facilitate children's language learning.

It's estimated between seven and eight percent of primary and high school struggle with Developmental Language Disorder, or DLD.  Western Sydney University has proven a new strategy for helping these kids overcome it.

Many of the parents I speak with find the time when they are expecting their little one to begin speaking a highly anxious time. Of course, the medicos and other childhood experts will give you rough timeframes of when this should happen, leaving you to work out your own child's developmental timeframe.For many, if that timeframe has past and they are still not starting their speech, they begin to worry wondering whether there are any developmental problems or issues such as autism in the mix!This week's guest, Jill Urbane, who is an early childhood interventionist has been helping families for decades understand language and development and shows them ways to get their little ones on the path to words.During our chat you'll hear Jill talk about:-The 5 pre-language skills that need to be in place before words are really going to start coming.Why it's advisable to avoid exposing your little one to noisy toys and why they often lead to laziness and speech delays.The main cause of speech delays in early childhood observed over her 25 years of experience.And much more....

Imas joins Joshed Raw (Josh) on Gods of Tomorrow to discuss speech and language development from childhood to adulthood and the challenges some experience with inner dialogue and expressive speech. They explore how different religions define their inner speech, how sociocultural influences impact the arrangement and expression of speech, and how this impacts an individual's worldview. Imas and Josh spend most of their conversation discussing the supported science of language and how the primitive brain is layered during human development before shifting the conversation into theoretical explorations and their impact on religious groups and the religious "nones". They also look at studies done on several cultures around the world and how language has differed among those cultures. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/godsoftomorrow/support

Many-time guest Dr. Andy Bondy returns to the podcast for a fun chat. Our conversation centered around a recent talk he gave which was titled, "Verbal Behavior: Myths and Misconceptions." What myths and misconceptions are we talking about here? Well, I certainly don't want to spoil the podcast, but we did manage to cover a wide variety of topics, including: PECS' Certified Classroom process. The conceptual rather than data-based nature of the Verbal Behavior book itself. Recall versus recognition. Aided versus unaided communication systems. Selection versus topography-based communication systems. The more subtle aspects of the autoclitic. Whether PECS limits improvised communication. The topic of Matching-to-sample vs. Tacting in PECS. The nature of prompts. Constructional aspects of learning. As many of my chats with Andy have gone, this is a podcast that could've been twice as long. Good news though: we've already scheduled a follow up interview for later on in the summer. If you have questions based on this podcast, perhaps we can feature an "Ask Andy Anything," segment. Keep an eye on the BOP emails for future announcements. Andy grounded his points in many empirical studies (and of course the OG text, Verbal Behavior). I've done my best to capture all of them below: Kuhn's, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Potter and Brown (1997). A review of studies examining the nature of selection-based and topography-based verbal behavior. Tincani (2004). Comparing the Picture Exchange Communication System and Sign Language Training for Children with Autism. Tincani et al. (2006). The Picture Exchange Communication System: Effects on Manding and Speech Development for School-Aged Children with Autism. Marckel et al. (2006). A preliminary analysis of teaching improvisation with the picture exchange communication system to children with autism. Chaabane et al. (2009).

What is it that develops speech production in our learners? Today, Tamara Kasper, BCBA and SLP, is sharing some really great and specific information on how speech production and reinforcement differs between typical developing children versus children with autism.Speech Sound ProductionIn typically developing children, speech sounds are reinforced differentially and automatically when making sounds that sound like words. For example, they get a cookie when they make a sound that sounds like cookie or they get happy, hugging excitement when they say something that sounds like mama or dada. Naturally, typical children are encouraged by the sounds and interactions in their environment and want to match the sounds made by the people they value in their world. This is where self-correction and refinement comes in because they will notice and hear how their sounds may sound different from the adults around them. In non-typically developing children, specifically those with autism, they are more sensitive to social stimuli and are less likely to be affected by the attention of their parents or guardians in regards to their sounds. So the traditional, automatic reinforcement to make and refine sounds is not occurring. Additionally, these learners will not likely notice how their sounds sound different from those around them, leading to no self-correction as sound production continues. Therapy for Speech Sound ProductionTamra shares her assessment and criteria for determining readiness for working on speech production. She collects metrics from the VB-MAPP, indicating responses, manding rate and variety, instruction cooperation development, and echoic repertoire. The scores and data from these metrics will relay whether a Natural Environment or Structure Teaching therapy is appropriate for these students. Within these systems, Tamra discusses the programs she uses. She shares today a little bit of her rubric on how she assigns these programs based on the needs of the child and assessment criteria. If you'd like to learn more about Tamra, you can find out more about her work and some video tips at Northern Speech Services. Additionally, if you'd like access to her therapy rubric discussed today and other resources, you can reach her via email.#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Acquisition of speech production in typical vs non-typical children.Do typically developing children shape sounds to match those in their environment?How do we know when an autistic learner is ready for speech sound production in therapy?Assessment and Criteria for determining therapy training for sound production.Training programs for natural environment and structured teaching therapy.Mentioned In This Episode:tkasper@centerautism.orgNorthern Speech Services ABA Speech: HomeStart Communicating Today – Waitlist – ABA Speech​​Help Me Find My Voice – EVERGREEN – ABA SpeechSeptember 13th FREE Webinar 8-9 pm EST registration linkSeptember 14th Free Webinar 8-9 pm EST registration link

Host Becky Hennesy brings on a new friend and reformer to the podcast. Her name is Deja Ard and her journey to launching a life-changing childcare center is incredible. It's a unique facility because it is specifically designed to assist children diagnosed on the Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Deja is all too familiar with this special needs world after her own son  was diagnosed with ASD at age 2. At first she struggled to find answers to help her son's behavior/speech development. Deja explains to Becky how she went through a series of emotions such as denial, depression, stress, defeat, confusion, guilt, anger, helplessness and most of inadequacy. But her determination and perseverance paid off. Plus, a divinely-inspired mission trip to Costa Rica where she met a host of other parents with special needs children.  Deja returned from that trip with a vision to not just help her own son, but hundreds of other families experiencing the same challenges she had. The result was brand new childcare facility called Spectrum of Love Childcare Center located in Duncanville, Texas. As all true reformers do, Deja worked tirelessly to build relationships with others around her. Specifically, she connected with local Independent School Districts, non-profit organizations, and local governmental officials to give her guidance on how to base her programs on the development of functional skills so that children will be successful and independent in school, at home, and in life.Spectrum of Love Childcare Center classrooms are setup to model a structure vital to teaching functional skills within that academic environment. With Behavior Technicians leading classes and using Applied Behavior Analysis Techniques, Deja says unique students will be better equipped for a successful school year and home life. Some of the activities at the childcare center include:- Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner- Occupational Therapy Techniques with arts, crafts, music and movement- Circle Time- Potty Training Assistance- Functional Life Skills station using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques- Functional Social Skills station using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques- Nap time- Behavior Technician Guided outdoor play to cultivate friendships- Speech Development and Sign Language- Academic Stations using Montessori TechniquesContact Deja at: Deja@SpectrumOfLoveChildcare.comThe Reformers Collective podcast is part of the expanding Charisma Podcast Network (CPN).  Click here to visit the CPN main page.

While it is true that all children develop at their own pace when it comes to speech, there are ways you can nurture their development. Today on Blossoming Tuesday I talk about how you can support your child's speech development to help them blossom.
