Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and here’s footage of me walking into our son’s annual school-fundraiser:
Not competitive at all…
We’ve tallied up several rounds of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources, including new Australian reading fluency passages, useful client posters for DLD outcomes & perinatal-stroke Rx, and a simple syntax explainer
FREE training opportunities, including about reading intervention for older students, explicit instruction about explicit instruction, & spelling
FREE Activity idea: word attack activities for teenagers
Private practice tips on avoiding overwork and burnout, the challenges of working for bosses who have too many ideas (ahem), and professional boundaries in the TikTok era
Open-access research/summaries about music & early communication skills, music & tonal languages, reading models (including Banter’s view), and a new systematic study on the effects of communication interventions on the life quality of people with dementia and their families
Perspectives on work and life, including on failure, SLP personality traits and men without meat!
Let’s dive straight in!

On a related point, here’s our take on why we prefer the Simple View of Reading:
Review just published! Few studies measure the impact of #communication interventions on #QoL in #dementia, with unclear results. Would pragmatic research methods or a communication-specific QoL measure help? @OxfordHealthNHS@UCLLangCog

Keep perspective
In a communication assessment today a stroke patient with word-finding difficulties couldn't tell me a picture was of a skeleton, but described it as 'a man without meat' and I think that's pretty amazing! 😂 #mySLTday

“There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, some days it is your turn, some days it’s not. That’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.”
