Podcasts about Speech science

Speech Science courses are a key component to the curriculum within a variety of disciplines, but coursework is frequently lacking in terms of representation of those from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In this episode, we talk to Melissa Baese-Berk (University of Chicago) and Paul Reed (University of Alabama), about why it's so important for instructors to use a variety of voices in the classroom, and how to talk about other ways of speaking when one feels ill-equipped to do so. Associated paper: Melissa Baese-Berk and Paul E. Reed. "Addressing diversity in speech science courses." J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 154, 918–925 (2023) https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0020613.Read more from The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA).Learn more about Acoustical Society of America Publications.Music Credit: Min 2019 by minwbu from Pixabay.

This week Michael has taken the week off but Speech Science is lucky to have Ruchi Kapila step in as a cohost.  Ruchi is the Co-Creater and Co-Host of The Hyndsyte Project Podcast.  Michelle continues to re-pack for her move back to the state of Texas!  Ruchi just returned from presenting at the Northwest Art and Science of the Performing Voice Conference and is looking forward to the next few weeks of being in Texas.  Matt finished at the school district for the summer and took his boys camping over the weekend.     The crew discuss the need to address trauma and the return to in person therapy and the affect medication may have on dysphagia and patients with Parkinson's Disease.  The Informed SLP looks at recommendations for Oral Care with patients with Parkinson's Disease.  The shoutout this week goes to MarissaMM and other grad students who have recently passed their Praxis and are preparing for the world of being a CF.  The Due Process asks the crew if they would be okay with wearing identification on their name badge identifying if they have received the vaccine or not.      The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com. SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout-out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, which is recognition for someone doing something awesome somewhere.  SSPOD Due Process: Your opportunity to message us about a problem in your area that you would like us to talk about, use the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  Topic #1:  As the world of therapy continues to move to in person, the crew discuss the importance of addressing and acknowledging the unspoken trauma that our clients and students have been through.  Topic #2: A recent student looked at the impact medications may have on dysphagia in patients with Parkinson's Disease.  Medication may lead to poorer oral health conditions and when paired with poor self-recognition of dysphagia symptoms may be putting our patients at risk.           The Informed SLP: You're seeing a patient with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who's complaining of difficulty swallowing. Your exam reveals that his overall oral health is in need of some attention. We know the state of our mouths has a lot to do with how we chew and swallow. Maybe this is contributing to his difficulty swallowing?

After taking a few weeks off following the elections, Matt, Michael, and Michelle come back together.  The group discusses the ordeal of voting in their individual precincts.  Matt is coming to terms with his reports being too long checking in at over 12 pages.  Michelle and her family were enjoying the unseasonable warm weather in the beginning of November.  Michael has noticed an increase in virtual cases as Covid numbers increase near his clinic.                                  On today's show, we discuss the link between diverse social connections and cognition, how to handle contentious IEP meetings, and we sit down with the Dysphagia Outreach Program.  This week's Informed SLP looks at.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The weekly news headlines return and the ASHA spotlight looks at their media awards.       The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com. ----more---- SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, which is recognition for someone doing something awesome somewhere.  Martin Addison, 44, speech pathologist from Waldwick, NJ worked at St. Joseph's University Medical Center, where he specialized in the evaluation and treatment of dysphagia passed away due to complications from Covid.  SSPOD Due Process: Your opportunity to message us about a problem in your area that you would like us to talk about, use the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  This week, a question about why we have to do both progress reports and quarterly reports for students on an IEP.  What do we gain from writing up a progress report every 4.5 weeks?   Topic #1:    The link between social connections and cognition continues to be explored.  Does isolation make out patient's cognition skills decline or do social skills decline because of a cognition decline?        Topic 2: IEP meetings can be very easy when everything goes right.  But when things go wrong, they can be very contentious.  The group discuss ways to make IEP meetings work a bit easier.       The Informed SLP: A spooky look into the world of Oral Motor Mysteries.   ASHA Spotlight: The Yearly Media Awards, but Speech Science was not nominated!   Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.speechsciencepodcast.com Speech Science Stuff: http://merchandise.speechsciencepodcast.com/   New Episode and Interact here: www.speechsciencepodcast.com podcast.speechsciencepodcast.com   Support Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?fbclid=IwAR3QRzd5K4J-eS2SUGBK1CyIUvoDrhu8Gr4SqskNkCDVUJyk5It3sa26k3Y&ign-mpt=uo%3D8&mt=2   Credits Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

The show has been off the air for the past few weeks to allow for other voices to be heard on matters of significance.  We at Speech Science believe there is no room for racism and we will commit to do what we can to shed light and make changes in areas we can.  We condemn the murders of George Floyd and Breona Taylor and all those who are not named but are equally important.  We believe Black Lives Matter.        During this week's show, Matt has finished his Medicaid Billing and has stumbled upon the Harley Quinn show on the DC Universe App.  Michelle has returned to work and plans a move across the country to Kansas.  Michael has been educating himself and those around him about the impact of Black Lives Matter.  On Discord, you can interact directly with Matt, Michael, and Michelle.   On today's show, we look at the yearly ASHA Elections results, making parents rescind their rights to waive liabilities, special education and the return in the fall, and ASHA's response to Black Lives Matter and calls to end racism in our field. Also, is AAC another language?  What if this means we should be devoting upto 360 minutes per week to AAC development?  This week's Informed SLP update, they look at the teach back method.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight looks at the yearly ASHA Elections.  We also replace the Hot Take with a Hot Seat   The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com.  ----more---- SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, which is recognition for someone doing something awesome somewhere.  Martin Addison is this week's SSPOD Shoutout.  Martin passed away due to complications from COVID. Martin served his patients and this field as a dysphagia expert working with COVID Positive patients.         SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.    Article #1: In New Jersey, a district has asked parents to rescind their educational rights before offering future educational services, but is this legal?       Article #2: Should we be devoting more time to AAC as it could be considered a different language?  Foreign language students receive 360 minutes per week but why do AAC users only get 30?        The Informed SLP: Remember playing the game telephone as a kid? You sat around in a circle and whispered a phrase until it got to the last person who then said it out loud, usually completely unrelated to the original message.

The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7.  Matt questions the ethical concerns of Spookily the Square Pumpkin due to watching Halloween Cartoons too much.  Michael is ramping up for the fall by increasing his pumpkin intake.  Michelle and family prepped for Halloween by having baby Speech Science dress as an Avocado.    Are you making your plans to see the live taping at ASHA?  Head over to Xceptionaled.com for more information to see the crew live in Florida.    Teletherapy looks to be the future of speech and language pathology.  What is the best way to handle the increase and demands?  Michelle sat down with Kristin Martinez from PresenceLearning for a 3 part interview diving into the nuts and bolts of Teletherapy.  This week on part 1, they discuss the ways to orchestrate evaluations using Teletherapy.   Kristin Martinez is the head of Clinical Standards and Outreach at PresenceLearning.      Students with disabilities or who receive special education services are more at risk for Juvenile Detention.  Would an increase in early intervention help to lower the risk of students ending up here?    Equine Therapy is a new approach for speech and language therapy and other related services.  A study in Nebraska looks at its positive affects for students on the spectrum.    Increases in vocabulary have shown an increase in language growth and reading comprehension, but could we grow vocabulary through games alone?  A recent student looked at this exact topic and the games through Vocabulary. Com.  There are multiple ways to see your students in the school setting and Push-In may be the most desirable.  However, only half of studied SLPs serve less than 25% of their students in a push-in model.      Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798   Discord: https://discord.gg/3Tm5jrS   New Episode and Interact here: www.speechsciencepodcast.com podcast.speechsciencepodcast.com   Patreon – A Chance for Dinner at ASHA https://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?fbclid=IwAR3QRzd5K4J-eS2SUGBK1CyIUvoDrhu8Gr4SqskNkCDVUJyk5It3sa26k3Y&ign-mpt=uo%3D8&mt=2  ----more---- Show Links   Teletherapy with PresenceLearning https://www.presencelearning.com/   Special Education and Juvenile Detention https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/post/would-more-support-keep-special-education-students-out-juvenile-justice-system?fbclid=IwAR2lfHj0ZmppO-1WBQ1jLhpI26xnpePvGokO4-141m8Q0JlYJl4jhcGSnpM#stream/0   Equine Therapy and Autism http://netnebraska.org/article/news/1193369/unl-researcher-focuses-horse-therapy-adhd-and-autism?fbclid=IwAR2LQro6i7piEIOnS6JiuA4dvk-NgTqet1JT2wPShviupZreB4QT_FVnjGU   Games and Vocabulary https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_LSHSS-VOIA-18-0121?fbclid=IwAR0cw-pMEu007i_dDeHibJimWbQzcB_ydd1ZjPHTphbMS0aIYWJ0C7iM02M https://www.vocabulary.com/   Push-In Therapy https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_LSHSS-18-0101?fbclid=IwAR1amdNmzgrqbE1G6x4jkCz0K7VEhZjXZF7r_p2i_ZN42kJlvymKhYpc7gE       Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Episode 80: SLPs Helping SLPs, FAS and Receptive Language, Reading and Better Parenting, Aggies Achieve, and Stroke Recovery   We at Speech Science are heart broken for the families and friends affected on the Western Part of Ohio.  Because of this, Speech Science has started emergency.speechsciencepodcast.com to allow SLPs to help other SLPs when therapy materials are destroyed due to natural disasters.  Children with FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) exhibit atypical auditory behaviors.  The study this week looks into the impact FAS has on the receptive language of children.  Parents who read to their children may be better parents according to a study out of Rutgers.  Reading with children may be a predictor to the type of parenting style you will employ.  Out of Cincinnati Children's Hospital is a wonderful story about a young stroke patient and her recovery thanks to her SLP.  Lastly, Texas A&M has created a program to allow young adults, no matter the disability, to attend college courses.  Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798   New Episode and Interact here: www.speechsciencepodcast.com podcast.speechsciencepodcast.com     Patreon – A Chance for Dinner at ASHA https://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D8  ----more---- Show Links   SLPs Helping SLPs https://emergency.speechsciencepodcast.com   Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Receptive Language https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2018_JSLHR-H-18-0359?fbclid=IwAR1Jlm96b44gvKUnYi0mF43gafcW_mrZyBzxSRBKEADRurgVJtbStnuIzk0   Reading and Better Parenting Correlation? https://news.rutgers.edu/reading-toddlers-reduces-harsh-parenting-enhances-child-behavior-rutgers-led-study-finds/20190417-0?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&fbclid=IwAR1Jlm96b44gvKUnYi0mF43gafcW_mrZyBzxSRBKEADRurgVJtbStnuIzk0#.XPMvkYhKiUn   Recovering from a Stroke https://blog.cincinnatichildrens.org/healthy-living/child-development-and-behavior/how-speech-language-pathology-helped-my-daughter-recover-from-a-stroke/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=post&fbclid=IwAR3M6X65RgR9Sk6eXPjIbJJBzeXMS_RSH_81nxg7BK2ZGmS88wrhaa4Co_U   Aggies Achieve https://epsy.tamu.edu/aggieachieve/?fbclid=IwAR3n9ReLodxe3D4us1ihYNSMIaQjmQZQ96nPMkDg1mdzEmHHFNuGNO3jy2c   Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.   Bump Music: County Fair Rock, copyright of John Deku, at soundcloud.com/dirtdogmusic   Closing Music: Slow Burn by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.       Speech Science Powered by: You!

For this special holiday episode, Mai Ling Chan sits down for a fun, lighthearted roundtable conversation with the other hosts of the Xceptional Podcast Network. She is joined by Matt Hott of Speech Science as well as Chris Bugaj and Rachel Madel of Talking with Tech. The four discuss the challenges and benefits of creating a podcast in the special needs market. They also talk about how they first got into an SLP career, staying focused while interviewing guests, their favorite holiday films, and more.

Speech language pathologist and podcast producer, Matt Hott, is one of the hosts of Speech Science. He joins the program to talk about what led him to launch the show and he also discusses not discounting the small beginnings, personal branding, and being genuine with your audience.

"I'm still in this mindset of I have no idea where I'm going to be in the next five years. It messes with my head. It's very exciting because there are so many opportunities and you can go in whichever direction you want, but as someone who is very goal-oriented, it's very bizarre to not really know where the industry is going to be. It's not all in my control." My guest this week is Personal Trainer and Fitness Blogger, Zanna Van Dijk. Her website bio states that she finds it “hard to define her job”.  But why define it when you have your finger in an impressive number of pies? These pies include but are not limited to, being: a Trainer, Adidas Global Ambassador, BBC Podcast Host, Author, Blogger, Vlogger, and co-founder of The Girl Gains. A 2014 graduate of the University of Sheffield, Zanna studied Speech Sciences. It wasn’t until her second year at university, when she discovered her passion for fitness, that her idea for her future started to change. After graduating, she set off around the world backpacking. It was this journey of self-discovery that confirmed Zanna’s commitment to a career in fitness. Upon returning to the UK, Zanna moved to London to complete a six-week Personal Training course – and hasn’t looked back since.   Over the past few years, Zanna has juggled personal training alongside a whole host of projects to become a famous face in the fitness world and has published her first book called ‘Strong’. Beyond smoothies and squats, Zanna is passionate about sustainability and the environment. An Explorer and Ocean Lover, Zanna recently launched a sustainable swimwear brand called Stay Wild and wants to make caring about the environment cool. When offering advice on starting a business, Zanna says “find your passion, embrace the challenge and you’ll work harder than you ever thought you could.” And work hard is precisely what Zanna has done to get so far aged just 25 years old.  Zanna was literally a DREAM to talk to. Having never had a traditional 9-5 job, she's been forging a truly modern career. We talked all about growing up and how bullying shaped her, how she discovered her passion for fitness, deciding not to pursue a career in Speech Science (even if her Mum was a bit disappointed!), the magic of stepping outside your comfort zone... and SO much more.  **Follow me:** **Twitter:** @[katiephilo](www.twitter.com/katiephilo) **Instagram:** @[katiephilo](http://www.instagram.com/katiephilo) www.katiephilo.com **Follow Zanna: ** **Twitter:** [@zannavandijk](https://twitter.com/zannavandijk) **Instagram:** [@zannavandijk](https://www.instagram.com/zannavandijk/) **Facebook:** [@zannavandijk](https://www.facebook.com/zannavandijk/) [http://www.zannavandijk.co.uk](http://www.zannavandijk.co.uk)

This week on Speech Science, the crew return following the winter break.  Matt's voice is almost gone, but Luke, Theresa, and special Guest Erik Raj hold the show together.   National trends show that Autism diagnosis may not be on the rise.  How true is this data?  What are some national trends for therapy? The group uses their expertise to try and figure that out.   Dementia affects everyone.  Terry Jones, of Monty Python fame, is another celebrity that can shine a light on the disease.  What are some current therapy models available?    

This week on Speech Science, the crew was once again live on Youtube and answering questions during the first half of the show.  Matt got hit by cow, Ivan presented on Speech Science, Dr. Sandiford recounts her TSA experience, and we learned Lucas has family ties to professional bull riding.    The topics for discussion include a substitute teacher claims a student is a terrorist and how do we prepare our students for the public perception they may perceive based on color, race, or religion.    Lastly, the Young family sat down with Ivan this week to discuss their family and the role they have raising a student with autism.
