Banter Booster #21: Useful tools and resources for speech pathologists
Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and we’re back!
Watching my grumpy sons leave for school…
We’ve furnished a dreamhouse of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources, including a free resource spreadsheet, academic vocab sorted by spelling patterns, and a one-minute survey to spot young children at risk for language difficulties!
FREE training opportunities about babies’ cognition, connecting reading and writing instruction, and on marrying medical and neurodiversity-based approaches to better support autistic clients.
Tool of the week: a GIF-based Early Concepts Pack combining concepts and syntax to bring early language to life.
Useful idea: Thousands of free Lego instructions!
Private practice tips on energy, ancillary exercise, and stoicism!
Open-access research/summaries: our thoughts on ChatGPT, a new edition of an old expressive vocab assessment, and a new Pragmatic Protocol.
Perspectives on work and life, including a singing baby!
Let’s go!

I was just trained in @SWLiteracy. I'm very excited to begin next school year. Just went through my academic vocabulary list to correlate with sound spelling patterns. Here is one for /ee/. I think this is another way to embed academic vocabulary throughout the school day.

“Students learn best when reading and writing are connected to each other.” (1:37) @natwexler
I am thrilled to finally hear a podcast that emphasizes the importance of writing instruction! I always say that reading and writing are like PB&J: they are best when they work… httptwitter.com/i/web/status/1…p
