Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, wishing you all a very happy Speech Pathology Week!
Too much for a Monday, or not enough?
We’ve collected lots of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources, including an early language stim refresher for clients from one of my favourite people, decodable book selectors, and practical tips for aphasia clinicians by asking “What would Audrey Holland do?”
FREE training opportunities about autism & task overwhelm; and the science of reading.
Tool of the week: 20 things you should know about your legal rights & responsibilities in the workplace.
Useful idea: a comic-making syllabus!
FREE private practice tips about avoiding gossip & people pleasing; and continuous progress (which does not mean perfectionism)!
Open-access research/summaries on genetic correlations between psychiatric conditions, and the many benefits of music for preschoolers
Client and other perspectives on work and life, including the difference between fluency and good communication, reliable information about the coming Voice Referendum, and the Inigo Montoya hack for surviving networking events!
Let’s communicate for life!

Private Practice Tips
All this time spent talking about other people's bodies, gossiping about other people's relationships, criticizing other people's businesses.
Keep your eyes on your own paper. Work on your body. Nurture your relationships. Improve your business.
We all have plenty to improve.

People pleasing
Say Yes
Feel resentful
Promise myself I'll say NO next time
Feel guilty
Say Yes ...

Open-Access Research & Summaries
Genetic correlations between psychiatric conditions: Some of the same gene variants that predispose people to one condition also predispose them to others. The thicker the connecting lines, the greater the genetic overlap between conditions.

Client & other perspectives
“We need to remove language like 'fluency' or 'smooth' when speaking about effective communication skills. It's not only incorrect, it's harmful.” @stutterology101
