Banter Booster #13: Useful tools and resources for speech pathologists
David Kinnane
May 08, 2023
Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and here’s footage of me badgering my sons to put on more clothes before leaving the house.
“But I don’t want to wear a jumper.”
We’ve stockpiled a heap of useful tools and resources we think you’ll love this week:
FREE therapy resources, including LaLYD’s new website, snazzy narrative structure resources, Zoom resources for people who stutter, and simple communication tips to help people who are deaf.
FREE training opportunities about phonics, neurodiversity affirming practice, how to deliver practical community support, and tricks to deal with b/d reversals
30 classic outdoor game/activity ideas
Private practice tips on clinical systems, listening & feedback, and a terrific resource for job interview questions
Open-access research/summaries: autistic perspectives on social communication, reading comprehension, and the ‘social determinants of justice’
Client and other perspectives on life
Now we’re warmed up, let’s get to it!

'The Shape of Stories'
"I think these are brilliant prompts to help our students see, consider and talk about the ‘shape of stories’. In doing so, it can bring to life sterile analysis of structure into something more meaningful."

Do you stammer and use e-mails/video calls for work or school? @stammer has sign-offs & video backgrounds to help raise stammering awareness & encourage openness about our speech. I use one on my University e-mail. 'It's how I talk' 👇🏻🗣️

After the staggering news that 1 in 10 people would avoid communicating with a deaf person, we hope these helpful tips can give you the confidence to communicate effectively.

Free Training Opportunities
Looking forward to this free four-day symposium starting on 16th May. 30+ experts (and me, ha ha) will talk about speech-to-print phonics and much more: composition, behaviour, cognitive load, instructional leadership...

When I recorded this, I never imagined that this video would be viewed as widely as it has 😳.
I love hearing stories of how students find this b/d trick useful (and that some even teach their friends!)

Private Practice Tips
On moving into a new role with new responsibilities in a new clinical system, I’ve been going through notebooks that hold about 10 years’ of coaching & supportive conversations. Working with people & with my own tendencies takes constant practice but I know what I’m trying to do. https://

Good listeners do not judge or impose solutions. They do ask good questions.

There is no single best interview question. Instead:
1) Identify skills & traits you need
2) Ask about past behavior around those
3) Follow-up with probing questions
4) Ask everyone the same thing
Here's some great questions to ask depending on your goals. httpsaintpeters.edu/wp-content/upl…p— Ethan Mollick (@emollick)

As an OT I don’t think employment is an outcome for all people. Every person autistic or not has value not based on productivity or “usefulness to society”.
If someone wants employment; fine, but also work is so inaccessible— Hannah OT (@HannahtheOT)
