In this podcast I interview a friend and early childhood specialist, Laura Wiebe. You can find her on Instagram at @learningwithl where she shares posts on early childhood education and teaching resources and ideas. 

In this podcast we discuss *how* to talk to children about COVID-19. We broke it down into three main ideas: explain things honestly (using social stories etc.), avoid false statements, and support and reassure your child. 

Check out Laura and Sarah's initiative "Reading for Rupert" which is a free educational resource for parents and their children to utilize during COVID-19.

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.

This episode discusses what babbling is, the milestones associated with babbling and potential red flags. It also covers the FQ (Fun Quotient) which is from the ESDM (Early Start Denver Model) by Sally Rogers and Geraldine Dawson, more specifically, the ESDM’s parent guide, “An Early Start for Your Child with Autism” by Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson and Laurie Vismara.

This podcast is all about different types of learning styles and how to facilitate learning with each style. This is more relevant than ever since so many parents are now tasked with home schooling. When working with kids (or all people for that matter) learning styles is an important consideration. The Hanen program “More than Words” asserts that there are five types of learners (rote, gestalt, visual, hands-on, and auditory).

Dr. Lynn Kern Koegl discussed “Practical Ways to Decrease Challenging Behaviours in School, Home and Community Settings” at an Autism Community Training event last October 2018. In these videos, she discusses how disruptive behaviours are communicative and that all kids have them, not just children with autism or special needs.

This podcast discusses predictors of disruptive behaviour, motivating factors for disruptive behaviour and ways to diffuse and decrease disruptive behaviour.

This podcast is all about what exactly inclusion is and means and discusses the benefits of inclusion for children with and without disabilities. The inspiration for this podcast is based on an article I read called “A Summary of the Evidence in Inclusive Education."

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.

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.

This podcast delves into what exactly a "late talker" is and explains why the "wait-and-see approach" is outdated and a risky way of navigating atypical patterns in children's speech and language development.
