Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and here’s how I felt reviewing all the fantastic resources shared by delegates at the #SPAConf last week:
A big welcome to new readers who dropped by our booth!
We’ve scooped up loads of useful tools and resources for you this week, mostly from generous colleagues at the conference:
FREE assessment and therapy resources for children with cleft palates, hearing issues, autism, speech sound disorders, and more!
FREE training opportunities about the Sentence Focused Framework and toy strategies, ReST and DTTC for Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and health literacy
Tool of the week: early literacy and the importance of working on vowels
Tech resources and activities for school-age students
Private practice tips on avoiding distractions, a tool for tracking habits
Open-access research/summaries including on educating parents to support child’s language development, study skills, and non-use of AAC
Perspectives on work and life
Let’s wade straight in!
