Banter Booster #15: Useful tools and resources for speech pathologists

Coming to you live from the #SPAConf

Hello, Booster readers! I’m David, and here’s a near-live shot of our bright booth at the #SPA Conf! (In a case of poor timing, I’m stuck in iso in Sydney, but the Banter team has saved the day!)

Hello, Hobart! (Yes, I’ve always wanted a prize wheel!)

If you’re in town, swing by and say hello to Jillian, Viv and Cherie! No worries if not: we’ve collected lots of useful tools and resources this week, wherever you are right now:

  • Our Banter Speech Workbooks Collection shop launch!

  • FREE therapy resources for repeated reading practice, an anxiety explainer, stuttering tips, and information for clients and families about recent autism diagnoses

  • FREE training opportunities about the recent PIRLS 2021 International reading results, language and numeracy, bilingualism & DLD

  • a FREE activity idea for formulating complex sentences

  • Private practice tips on small steps and space constraints

  • Open-access research/summaries about supporting secondary school students with reading difficulties, language outcomes of children who have had surgery for brain tumours, and links between hearing difficulties and dementia

  • Perspectives on living with DLD, the power of a great teacher, voice-banking, and how to come back from a professional setback!

Let’s spin the wheel!
