The Speech Science Podcast

Matt starts at his new school job which means building the puzzle pieces of a therapy schedule.  Michelle welcomed family from across the country into her home.  Michael has been collaborating with local SLPs to prepare for the upcoming school year.  Matt’s youngest son can be heard in the background during parts of the show.             Imagine sitting in your therapy room with a student when the sound of a firework goes off.  But its not a fire work, its an active shooter.  Some of us have been through trainings such as Alice.  But no one talks about what happens afterwards.  Rachel Archambault, MA CCC-SLP, has been a speech and language pathologist serving in the Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida.  She was working with students when shots rang out.  Rachel has taken this experience and began the PTSDSLP to help therapists cope and work with students who have been through a traumatic experience.  She also speaks about her journey to bring in a therapy animal.   The new school year has begun and with that, the influx of students and parents with tech.  ASHA has released 7 resolutions to curve the tech appeal.  The Autistic Self Advocacy Group does not agree with Autism Speaks and the message they are fostering in the new Julia ads from Sesame Street.  The Autistic Self Advocacy Group has pulled their support but what does this mean on how we treat our families and what language do we use?   How familiar are you with eye gaze?  How much time do you spend on coordinating the board to allow for greater accuracy in choices?  A new research article discusses how we can help our patients use eye gaze more accurately.  Lastly, the NFL continues to make strides to help families with disabilities.  The Philadelphia Eagles has opened an autism friendly room for their games on Sundays.      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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/…/speechscience-org-…/id1224862476…  ----more---- Show Links PTSD SLP https://www.facebook.com/groups/399244554044299 https://www.lutheranchurchcharities.org/k-9-comfort-dogs-about.html?fbclid=IwAR1g6-yMp0_M14KRYYcp3d0sT-TFLzM5dvCv7etL112t3K0I8ftW1HUOMKk Instagram: @PTSD.SLP   7 Tech Resolutions https://www.asha.org/News/2019/7-Tech-Resolutions-for-the-New-School-Year/?fbclid=IwAR2PNUwd05oX8Y-kXNmLzbyQTmNx1BwbM-doaz0R1b9xBE9wZR_dqD-8QF4   Sesame Street PSA https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2019/08/13/why-autism-group-breaking-up-with-sesame-street/27011/?fbclid=IwAR005onnnAJ3g_hWOpNPXfJExhqPWGb8-xBD0IDvaVzy6vM2kkzDai_EDKM   Eye Tracking https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_AJSLP-19-0006?fbclid=IwAR3B8klZaW35ojGco4BTC5tgluO2DuGCGObhHx7UXrjfYZqTo7I74v6tLfk   Autism and the NFL https://www.cbs42.com/sports/philadelphia-eagles-open-sensory-room-for-fans-with-autism/?fbclid=IwAR3yPux6SD-sKxCl2vym69TEthPcVCvgkTFx4tnpwGotIM6DfZtj8DvBQdE     Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Matt left another job this week and is making plans for a trip through Star Wars’ Galaxy Edge after the ASHA Convention this year.  Michael’s private practice continues to grow as he brings in new clients and makes connections with other SLPs and professionals.  Michelle builds up her caseload at the new job, which means more evaluations between pool days.         Matt sat down with Kim Marino, CCC-SLP, the author of Sloths are Slow.  A great interactive and learning book written by a fellow SLP.  The book teaches some great facts about the sloth and asks the child to interact through a series of physical and language based activities.  Also, a portion of the books proceeds each month goes to Gigi‘s Playhouse a local organization that helps people with down syndrome. The Long Island location is opening in the spring of 2020.   The US House of Representatives has approved a bill for $1,000,000,000 in funding for Autism.  The Doyle Bill, also known as the Autism Cares Act, would reauthorize a similar bill from 2014.  Now it goes to the Senate to be voted on before the dollars are released.   A young boy was born without a larynx.  Through a tragic accident, his family identified this difficulty during pregnancy and when he was born, the doctors were prepared.  However, they didn’t stop there.  They made plans to rebuild his larynx using his ribs and completed it just after his 2nd birthday.  Linked Story courtesy of WREG News.   A newer area for school based SLPs is reading comprehension.  A new study in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Association looks at the effects of a language focused curriculum.  The group looks at how this helps in your speech room.   Delta Airlines will let passengers know which languages their flight attendants speak, starting soon Delta will include ASL as one of these languages.  What does this simple gesture mean in the world of inclusion?     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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/…/speechscience-org-…/id1224862476…  ----more---- Show Links Sloths Are Slow https://gigisplayhouse.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Sloths-Are-Slow-Interactive-Childrens/dp/173307600X https://thomasscullyfoundation.org/events/?fbclid=IwAR2zI_GmlxuOKpABL72scQteOfE7sQJQcmHQR24CcXphv2UiJ793jGOXNic     Autism Cares Act https://www.timesonline.com/news/20190725/house-passes-doyle-bill-authorizing-1b-in-autism-funding?fbclid=IwAR0zq4nT5pkwTnQwafzweaK8bi_h1iI_KXSqah-BXOWSuCLZG8MlZFstAro   Rebuild the Larynx? https://fox8.com/2019/08/05/doctor-rebuilds-childs-voice-box-in-historic-surgery/ https://wreg.com/2019/08/02/le-bonheur-doctor-builds-child-a-voice-box-in-groundbreaking-surgery/ https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/06/us/first-voice-box-reconstruction-trnd/index.html?no-st=1565567721   Reading Comprehension https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_JSLHR-L-19-0015?fbclid=IwAR2xDVEwe93Al-fodzkTHbW3pYWS9w0lqwEEASSceeMxEPWJe2Iet5cFplk   ASL is a Language https://www.today.com/news/delta-announces-uniform-change-identifying-which-members-speak-sign-language-t159871?fbclid=IwAR2zI_GmlxuOKpABL72scQteOfE7sQJQcmHQR24CcXphv2UiJ793jGOXNic       Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

ReDownload this: Last Week’s episode had an editing error in it.    Matt had tech training at the new school this week and is struggling with the multiple new student systems.  Michelle’s new job has her learning new documentation systems while she is teaching baby signs at home.  In private practice, Michael’s documentation can differ based on the parental needs.    Sitting down with Michelle this week is NICU Dietitian Martha Ferstl.  Martha works directly with SLPs in the NICU.  She discusses the similarities in our fields and the obstacles she faces on a daily basis.  What is it that a dietian does?  Martha details a time when an MD had to be educated to keep a patient safe when it comes to nutrition.  When should you call on your company’s dietician, Michelle and Martha have the answers.       ASHA would like to certify SLPAs.  What is the impact on SLPs who hold their CCCs?  Would an influx of SLPAs cause demand to drop and pay to suffer or would it be an appropriate way to self-correct the caseload issues and the need for more therapists?  How far would you go to fight for your patients and families?  An audiologist from Kentucky has stepped into the role of a state representative.  Dr. Deanna Frazier, AuD, CCC-A represents the 81st district in Kentucky.     There exists a simple and easy way to improve students’ abilities in the classroom.  The key is to teach vocabulary.  A new study has looked at the way we teach vocabulary.  Experimental vocabulary lessons seem to improve vocabulary better than traditional classroom teachings.    If you were to lose your voice tomorrow, who would you want to be the last person you hear?  A young man lost his hearing and one of the last voices he heard was Batman as portrayed by Kevin Conroy.    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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/…/speechscience-org-…/id1224862476…  ----more---- Show Links Certfied SLPAs https://blog.asha.org/2018/06/07/audiology-speech-language-pathology-assistants-begin-developing-new-certification-program/?fbclid=IwAR3amE1IclUg_P6vOjJN4NaN9CcJODUnrWZ3734C1jgDD22k8pfR-eBW7D8   Audiologist as State Rep https://blog.asha.org/2019/07/24/an-audiologist-seeks-to-improve-political-communication-by-joining-her-state-legislature/?fbclid=IwAR3-feOIeSBE_avOf7Wv8S8TAvmPoFOrAxl0zX_ygApD696t3z4u5URUFAM   The Key to Vocabulary https://pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10.1044/2019_JSLHR-L-18-0337   Batman Voice http://www.tampabay.com/arts-entertainment/kevin-conroy-explains-his-mysterious-comic-con-tweets-20190730/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&fbclid=IwAR3U1okDM2YFZIoGYW9FNaXJbcpoJzdH1GtQrwemeSATN2xFFw30tpZ98hk     Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Michelle returns this week!  The group opens-up about their thoughts on the ASHA Conference and should you bring children?  Matthew, Michael, and Michelle dissect their participation in Facebook groups for speech and language therapy.   What does eating habits have to do with Autism? A recent study states that severe eating habits could be an early sign of Autism.  The group talks about their experiences in this field.  Can you do two or three things at a time?  A student located in the ASHA Journals looked at the link between communication and driving.  How can this knowledge of a decline when doing two things be used to build better therapy trials and sessions?    What is your experience with ABA?  Some look at ABA as a punishment and some look at it as the key to non-verbal communication.  The group discuss this and how its link may go back to two communication theories.  Lastly, Sesame Street and the Ad Council have worked together to bring more attention to autism.    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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast  ----more---- Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/…/speechscience-org-…/id1224862476…   Show Links Eating and Autism https://consumer.healthday.com/cognitive-health-information-26/autism-news-51/extreme-eating-habits-could-be-an-early-clue-to-autism-748343.html?fbclid=IwAR2I9vyMdDrYKUEVjQBvVZmsdH6ESGyrbb2zW1mqGVKrWzwINFwz8D_CgO8   Speaking and Driving https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2018_JSLHR-S-MSC18-18-0146?fbclid=IwAR2ienc5UUmPEZU4w1BYh_1Z2kWQhCRhCJoC3dl092M-Z1bhlYOsXle5AoY   ABA and Abuse https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311908.2019.1641258?fbclid=IwAR3V8fgMShktZPYSr20pzt5yb09Eo8M3KZR8BH3AtDJ3fP2rR0xQuC34c_M.XTC3eiO7nJA.facebook   Sesame Street https://www.mmm-online.com/home/channel/sesame-street-shines-light-on-autism-with-ad-council-psas/?fbclid=IwAR2wcMao2-qp64LjlgirHTVw_SGd_CrkFEmgALjSnXTRZbA4n5N9-W8AzPw     Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

The show is back on the air.  Between illness, travel, and a summer break the show returns with Michael and Matt this week.  Summer may be in full swing Michael is preparing his clinic for the upcoming school year and Matt transitions from one school district to another one.  What happens when therapy ends?  A recent article in the ASHA Leader identifies 5 strategies to turn parents from observers to a coaches.  The impact teachers have in the classroom is unmistakable.  Research shows that teachers can support the mental health of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students.  Toy Story 4 has come out and made at least one of the hosts bawl, but a small but noticeable detail shows disabilities in the movies.   Lastly, have you heard of Inspiro-Porn?  Inspiroporn is the act of filming yourself working with a person with a disability and sharing it for “likes.”  Inspiroporn is showing a person completing a daily task but celebrating it in the news because they have a disability.  What can we do to avoid falling in this trap?   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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast   Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/…/speechscience-org-…/id1224862476…  ----more---- Show Links Parents as Coaches https://blog.asha.org/2019/06/12/5-strategies-to-help-families-act-as-speech-and-language-coaches/?fbclid=IwAR0n2HMkG4ZADaBdW61YmnGqkrDcp4mwUQYj9kbuFbfwOkEWsaZQ6U6Gr-w   Teacher Impact on Mental Health https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_LSHSS-18-0085?fbclid=IwAR21_kMGKkuVTiRhyKhBatiQ8lFnSlE8x0vROHZeSW8bcJgvcNAHmNVr0ts   Toy Story 4 https://blog.asha.org/2019/07/03/toy-story-4-features-a-child-with-a-cochlear-implant/?fbclid=IwAR1dnsmGIDt8_MC-DiPFRqvGnpxJwQxiA9Tsa7H_bTnDbvffs1dd5uPmEd4   Inspiro-Porn https://erinrbreedlove.blogspot.com/2014/05/just-living-life.html?fbclid=IwAR3XsHB3zGpszeIT46pWqgVpGEFiOctz6tlG0NFpF72eHMcxZRIgkHsu_iI     Intro Music: Please Listen Carefully by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Episode 82: Disney and a Disability, Rolling with the Magic, LGBTQ Competency, Diagnosing Dementia, and Conversations with an Toddler   This week Michael talks about taking therapy from the clinic to the real world, Michelle talks swimming with a young child, and Matt is live from Disney World.  A Facebook post had an SLP state she may not work with a patient if she does not agree with their relationship status.  How culturally competent are SLPs when it comes to LGBTQ populations?  June is Pride Month and a study of 4 countries shows that SLPs have difficulty in identifying the needs of a growing population base.  Why does the right diagnosis matter when it comes to Dementia?  Many families hear the word dementia and think Alzheimer’s.  Its important to educate our families and patients about the differences in dementia and the expected outcomes.   Lastly, a wonderful video has hit the internet showing a dad and son talking.  The son, however, is very young but has picked up some great social language skills.  This video is a wonderful model for all parents.  How do you do Disney World if you have a Disability?  Melissa Knight from Rolling with the Magic joins the conversation this week to help take away some of the anxiety related to vacationing with a disability.  Melissa is a blogger and Disney Parks enthusiast who visits Walt Disney World several times a year. Melissa started her blog to share her experience as a wheelchair user and loves showing people that the parks are for everyone.   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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast  ----more---- Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D8   Show Links LGBTQ https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2015_AJSLP-14-0095?fbclid=IwAR11GfH7pHfBf0j9eb6sghlC18GafZJPntzKE2cLz84Rtq3bu6x4IZH2FQc   Diagnosing Dementia https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/03/18/703944116/is-it-alzheimers-or-another-dementia-the-right-answer-matters?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20190318&fbclid=IwAR1Z64Y4nF0D2rfRUWNjUaEcH9Wpe28_0Zh_xBUvYVyVzklS8ne3skoGnfo   Rolling with the Magic http://www.rollingwiththemagicblog.com/ https://www.facebook.com/RollingwiththeMagic/   Father and Son https://www.today.com/parents/dad-chats-infant-son-about-tv-finale-adorable-video-t155568     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!

Episode 81: ASHA President, ASHA Convention Talk, Reading Aloud to Middle Schoolers, and Special Education Teacher Shortages   On this week’s show: Michelle talks orientation, Michael returns from Tahoe, and Matt talks parenting.  Who is to blame for teacher shortages?  How do we keep teachers in the building?  Is it caused by burnout?  A recent NPR article discusses the rise of special education teacher shortages.  Do you spend time in your therapy setting reading aloud?  Would you read aloud to your middle school students?  Research points out that reading aloud helps not just young students but the older students as well. ASHA President Dr. Shari Robertson stops by to talk what is happening at ASHA.  She speaks on when she found out she was elected, what her current roles and goals for ASHA are, and what she would like to see in the future.  Dr. Robertson speaks on her initiative to add more imagination to therapy, what we can expect at the ASHA Connect 2019 and the ASHA National Convention 2019, ASHA international outreach, and how to carry over the good will from Better Speech and Hearing month into the rest of the year.        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 ASHAhttps://www.patreon.com/speechsciencepodcast  ----more---- Rate and Review: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D8   Show Links   Election Results: https://www.asha.org/News/2019/2019-Board-of-Directors-Election-Results/?fbclid=IwAR1ePX0Ge2wT6IZrrLLF0Cuwm949uwaGYbehDk0PJi2Ee9suKhZ1NXYbeeE   Special Education Teacher Shortages: https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/11/09/436588372/behind-the-shortage-of-special-ed-teachers-long-hours-crushing-paperwork?utm_campaign=meetedgar&utm_medium=social&utm_source=meetedgar.com&fbclid=IwAR3_aduGYwR92byYS8Z79wNzsoM4Hoa9t2rL1mGnUXFpX54DhS2zG4iozhc   file:///D:/Downloads/1517-OConnor-Johnny.pdf   http://wvmetronews.com/2019/06/05/house-minority-leader-sees-issues-with-student-success-act-passed-in-senate/   People or Identity First Language https://www.stairwaytostem.org/editorial-policy/   Benefits of Reading Aloud https://www.edutopia.org/article/reading-aloud-middle-school-students https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1073207.pdf   Club 1111 https://www.baltimoresun.com/health/bs-md-club-for-people-with-disabilties-20190523-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0tc1_xxEXfXZbD2WEtw5gic2Ie_ikrp0JVUGdZilgrF74whHsIK0ka6Ns     Dr. Shari Robertson https://www.asha.org/About/governance/BOD/members/Shari-Robertson-25769776065/ https://www.asha.org/Events/Connect/Schools-Connect/ https://www.asha.org/connect2019/ https://ashacertified.org/ https://identifythesigns.org/     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!

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 ASHAhttps://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!
