The whole group is back together this week.  Matt has a ton to unpack involving Cub Scout fundraisers (selfish self-promotion link below for Popcorn sales) and hikes, mandatory high school coach meetings, meeting Help Me Grow as a parent, and calling his local senators to fight for hearing aid insurance changes.  He was told a hearing aid for a child is considered cosmetic.  Michelle celebrates her eternal 24th birthday 10 years later by hiking across state lines and she is an aunt again for her 5th niece.  Michael spent the weekend with his nephews for the weekend.  His private practice has moved to about 50% in person and 50% tele- practice.  The group also responds to the news that Charlie Brown won’t be airing on television this Halloween.                              On today’s show, we discuss the backlog of educational evaluations and waiting on legal rulings and the link between language and spelling.  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 what they have put out for stuttering.       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.  Bill Connors, a guru in our field has passed away.  Bill had a large presence on-line and was willing to reach out to help anyone who needed it in the Facebook groups he was part of.         A second shout-out goes to Smiles for Inclusion.  They are offering up a virtual 5K marathon with the goal to raise funds that will be used to provide resources for the most vulnerable children with special needs living in impoverished communities in rural areas of Kenya and Ghana.   Topic #1:    Due to the immediate closures of schools in the springtime, many children went without evaluations.  The crew discuss the impact of not completing an evaluation has on timelines and the student’s success.       Topic 2: What should SLPs be doing with spelling in the classroom?  A new study looks at the indepth link between spelling and language.     The Informed SLP: We all know the struggle of figuring out the “active ingredients” for aphasia therapy. We consider dosage, number of trials and sessions, home programs, aphasia type, treatment approach, stimuli, types of cues…but it’s still hard to know what makes aphasia therapy work.   ASHA Spotlight: How do we educate someone on the impact of stuttering? ASHA has a tool-kit for that.       Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.

He also discusses the evolution of his speech therapy room from a multi-use room to a dedicated space.  Michelle has completed her move to a new place .7 miles away from the previous place.  Michelle enjoyed the weekend by taking the family across stateliness to visit a local farm.                       On today’s show, we discuss ethical or unethical encroachment of ABA into the realm of the SLP and we discuss the over reliance on standardized assessments.  This week’s Informed SLP looks at how daily cognition training can keep the doctor away.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.     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.  Dr. Heidi Alaskary has been named the lead co-chair for the T20 Task Force 6 on economy, employment and education in the digital age.          SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS. This week, an anonymous listener asked why are therapists only using standardized assessment in decision making?  Matt, Michael, and Michelle dive into the diagnostic triangle and the importance or lack of importance of using only a standardized score to make decisions.  Matt talks about how he has added more in depth reporting and multiple standardized and not-standardized assessments which has caused his reports to swell to 10-16 page reports for and ETR (3 year re-evaluation).    Topic #1:    Researchers look to have identified a possible genetic link for stuttering and a potential link to dopamine receptors.  The next step is to trial a synthetic dopamine drug.  What impact does this have on therapy and does this mean we are just treating the symptoms of dysfluency?   The Informed SLP: Engaging in cognitive training every day may keep the doctor away!. Basak and colleagues found that cognitive training was equally effective in enhancing cognitive functioning in healthy adults and adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).   ASHA Spotlight: With ASHA Canceling its convention this year, the crew discuss future locations and the impact location will have on attendance.    Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.

This week, an anonymous listener sends in the following situation.  A high school student working on /r/ and /l/ says the do not bother them, but teachers report that the student does not volunteer information and has cried during her presentations in March because someone asked her to repeat a phrase.  The therapist states the student is unmotivated in therapy.  Should therapy be continued or move to dismissal? Topic #1:    Researchers look to have identified a possible genetic link for stuttering and a potential link to dopamine receptors.  The next step is to trial a synthetic dopamine drug.  What impact does this have on therapy and does this mean we are just treating the symptoms of dysfluency?     Topic #2: Inferential and figurative language can be difficult to target in a therapy setting.  One SLP looks at adding Poetry to her therapy lessons.    Topic #3:   A study from an ABA group has come up again questioning the validity of the Social Thinking Curriculum.  Could there be some truth to the ABA concerns about evidence?  Should we be using Social Theory to cover up communication deficits or should we follow a less ableist look at Pragmatic Language?   The Informed SLP: The Why and How of Working on Writing. Working on writing is an essential part of supporting our clients’ literacy development and research to support it.     Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.

Michael and Michelle have the week off, so Leigh Ann Porter, host of Speech Uncensored settles into the co-host chair this week with Matt.  Leigh Ann recounts her week in the clinical setting and the joy of seeing a patient returning to your caseload.  Matt’s home health caseload continues to rise which means his free time continues to decrease.  Matt and Leigh Ann discuss the tests they enjoy when working with adults.  In the middle of the show, Matt had to run down a mouse in his house!   On today’s show, we look at tools for dysphagia, the importance of counseling during therapy, and which states are failing IDEA.  This week’s Informed SLP looks at perceptual ratings for dysarthric speech.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight looks at the ASHA Connect Conference.     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.    Dr. Anthony Koutsoftas from Seton Hall University received a 1.4 million dollar federal grant for research in improving writing skills in special education.    SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.    Topic #1: With the rise of 3d printing companies have found ways to create new assistive tools for feeding therapy.  Obi a robot who can feed a patient to trays specially designed can help change our approach to feeding therapies.         Topic #2: A majority of states are failing to meet the minimum of IDEA.  Why are schools failing?  Is it directly linked to funding and will it improve anytime soon?         Topic #3: Counseling should be a bigger part of our therapy sessions, or so says a recent study.  Do you find yourself as an information counselor or one that helps identify our patients’ wants and needs?           The Informed SLP: A downside to relying on perceptual ratings is that perceptual ratings alone don’t usually qualify a child for speech services or provide a normative benchmark (other than normal/abnormal). But the authors of this study have created age-specific norms and cut-off scores for perceptual ratings that can be used in dysarthria assessments of school-aged children.   ASHA Spotlight: The ASHA Connect Conference is up and online till July 20th.    Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.

Its episode 118, even if they keep calling it episode 117.  During this week’s show, they plan for a longer Fourth of July Weekend.  Michelle’s child turns two on the fourth this week as she wraps up her last few days before her move.  Michael looks forward to some social distancing family get togethers.  Matt talks about how he is terrible at using the holidays in his speech and language therapy and he will be attending a reverse parade.        On today’s show, we discuss recent research showing why some words are easier to remember than others, Disney World has won a disability lawsuit, and how music impacts memory.  This week’s Informed SLP looks at tongue ties.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight looks at what ASHA is doing to spotlight SLPs of color.      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.    Jennifer Jayme and those who got the Military Spouse Community page up and running for ASHA receive this week’s SSPOD Shoutout.        SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.    Topic #1: The national institute of heal looks at the frequency of vocabulary and why some are easier to remember.  If a word has a higher frequency will they recall it easier on a screener?  Does this impact the way and the vocabulary we target in therapy based on the patient?       Topic #2: Disney previously changed the way they handled customers and guests with disabilities by issuing a return time instead of allowing the guest to go to the front of the line immediately.  A guest sued Disney, but a court found Disney to not be at fault.  The group talks about the impact of learning to wait and how this can help.         Topic #3: Patriotic music may be linked to certain memories.  How does this translate into other areas of therapy?        The Informed SLP: Talking Tongue Ties: You won’t find many hotter topics in our little corner of the world right now than tongue-ties AKA ankyloglossia AKA tethered oral tissues AKA a very short and/or tight sublingual frenulum that restricts lingual mobility.   ASHA Spotlight: ASHA is printing and spotlighting SLPs of color.    Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.

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. But now it’s time to forget what you learned on the playground and say that message out loud to make sure your partner hasn’t got it twisted. In fact, we highly encourage it.     ASHA Spotlight: ASHA Election Results  and their Black Lives Matter Response   Contact Email: speechsciencepodcast@gmail.com Voicemail: (614) 681-1798 Discord: https://discord.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.
