Send us a Text Message.This week's guest is one of my absolute favourites Anna Dalziel, RSLP also known as Anna Dee SLP! Anna works primarily with 3-6 year olds with severe speech and language delays. Anna loves play based therapy, treating speech sound disorders, and working closely with families and school staff. Find Anna's:- Instagram- FB Page- Anna Dee SLP website and Anna's Communication Services website - Teachers Pay Teachers page We discuss late talkers, what SLPs assess other than word size in late talkers, pre-verbal skills, strategies to help late talkers and other kiddos in need of some SLP supports, how to differentiate between Autism and a late talker, and why Anna loves play-based therapy. We also talk about play milestones and how symbolic play relates to language development. Note: Two things we want to emphasize is (1) make sure to always get a hearing test in addition to an SLP assessment and (2) most late talkers still have difficulties by age five and therefore they still require SLP intervention. Click here for a helpful article on symbolic play and click here for the link for the research discussed below. Research has shown us that Late Talkers (LT) follow one of these paths:- Between 20–30% of LT do not grow out of their language delay. These children have ongoing difficulties and need intervention to help them with their language and literacy skills. They may receive a diagnosis of language disorder.- Between 70–80% of LT seem to catch up to their peers by the time they enter school. Sometimes these children are called “late bloomers” because they eventually seem to catch up to other children their age. When their “general language skills” are tested, they score in the average range, which might tell us not to worry anymore. But research tells us that these children still have difficulties that we should not ignore.- LT who seem to catch up continue to have some weaknesses- LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language and literacy skills- While these differences might seem small, it means that LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language skills. “Late bloomers” who seem to catch up actually show weaknesses in these areas:- Some language & literacy skills – these include vocabulary, grammar, phonology, reading, understanding and creating stories, writing, and listening comprehension. These subtle weaknesses can continue through adolescence- Other skills that are related to language – these are skills that rely on language, such as social skills, behaviour, and executive function skills- How the brain processes speech – researchers have studied 3 to 5-year olds who had a history of late talking, and noticed that they don’t process the speech they hear as easily as other children do. This means that they have immature or less developed speech processing skills, which can interfere with their progress with language and literacy developmentAs always, please rate and review my podcast and thank you for listening!

Send us a Text Message.This week's guest is Mark from Senso Minds. We discuss all things sensory! Although sensory processing disorder is not an official medical diagnosis a lot of children with special needs struggle in the sensory department. They could be hypersensitive or hyposensitive or potentially both at different times. Although I do refer to sensory processing challenges as "Sensory Processing Disorder" at times during the episode as I mentioned above, it is not an official medical diagnosis. That being said, if you are concerned about this then an Occupational Therapist (OT) would definitely be the expert in this area so it may be helpful to seek guidance and find out more information from an OT. This podcast dives into some signs or symptoms of sensory processing challenges and what exactly sensory processing challenges means. We also discuss the mission behind Senso Minds, some of the products they have available and I review the popular topic of chewlery. You can find Mark and the Senso Minds team on their website www.sensominds.com, their Instagram (@sensominds), and their podcast "The Sensory Corner."

Send us a Text Message.Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion. Due to the current pandemic we are facing, many children are not receiving speech and language therapy. I was speaking with Mrs. Speechie P and we discussed the various ways speech and language can be facilitated at home with strictly home supplies - nothing fancy. Mrs. Speechie P brought up the great idea of using a box. I loved this idea because I am sure there are many boxes arriving into peoples homes right now from frantic amazon and Costco orders. I discuss 6 activities you can do at home with any box to help facilitate and develop speech and language. These activities can be modified however you see fit to target the needs and goals of your specific child. Ensure turn taking is occurring during the activities and remember to model what you want to see in your child so they can have lots of examples. The activities discussed will each target instructions, prepositions, pretend play and speech. Please rate and review my podcast!

Send us a Text Message.This podcast discusses common SLP recommendations for developing children's speech and language. At the end of sessions or assessments, SLPs often give parents recommendations to help with their child’s speech and language development. The tips often differ depending on a specific diagnosis or disability so make sure to discuss with your own SLP about recommendations specifically for your child. However, these tips are very common and helpful, many of which come from the Hanen program and the Early Start Denver Model. To read more on SLP recommendations click here.
