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.

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.

Research points out that reading aloud helps not just young students but the older students as well.

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.

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.
