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. 

Theresa Richard, host of Swallow Your Pride, sat down to keep Ivan, Lucas, and Matt in line while episode 31 went live on Facebook.  The group battles off their Thanksgiving food hangovers.

Episode 30, the crew attempt to go live on Facebook for the first time and it was a success.  The group is recovering from the ASHA Convention in Los Angeles.  The group also debates how many times do you see someone before you don’t have to say hello to them, sparked by people doing laps on the ASHA floor.  Matt continues to push to raise awareness this November for the Movember Foundation. 

We here at Speech Science hope you had a great time at ASHA.  We will be returning soon to continue our goal to bring you the best information in the easiest way to understand it.  Make sure you find all of our past interviews at podcast.speechscience.org

Kevin English, in charge of the brand new Speech Science Store, joins the crew from out in San Francisco.  The group recounts their weeks as Ivan, Lucas, and Kevin prepare to go to ASHA while Matt prepares for the start of the High School Bowling season that the coaches for. What do you do when you cant see your students for therapy time?  In New York, 48,000 students missed part or all of their targeted therapy time.  Do we give too much or not enough therapy time to the students?  When you do you discharge a student from your caseload?What does being a mandatory reporter mean?  In Michigan, a teacher has been charged with taping a student’s mouth shut while other kids are having their arms handcuffed together.  What causes you to report abuse?Ivan had the chance to sit down with Mary Casper - ASHA 2017 Convention Co-Chair for Speech-Language Pathology and Anita Vereb, Convention Co-Chair for Audiology.  What does it take to be a Co-Chair?  How long will you plan for a convention?  Ivan’s got all of the answers. Lastly, representation in comics is important.  From persons of color to different sexuality, comic books are finding ways to diversify their audiences and the heroes on the page.  Focus, the super hero with autism, comes to represent an underrepresented audience. https://www.speechscience.org/speechsciencepodcast/Rate and Review here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/speechscience-org-podcast/id1224862476?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D8

How does things such as augmented reality and virtual reality develop language?  Virtual reality and augmented reality can create a safe space to practice language skills.  Kristie Knickerbocker from A TEMPO Voice Center sits down for her Return of the Jedi of Voice Podcasts in part 3 discussing the discharge and maintenance of a good voice.    This week, Kristie gives information on how to protect the vocal folds during Halloween and what causes the Halloween workers to lose their voice.  Kristie answers questions about how long should you keep a patient? (Hint, your 12-18 visits is way too long)  What are some good carry over exercises?  Can we bill and keep a patient for maintenance?
