September 11, 2023
Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and, I’m looking forward to the end of the term!
Nothing a coffee or two can’t fix!
We’ve amassed some great free tools and resources for you this week:
FREE vocabulary (morphology) and early reading therapy resources
FREE training opportunities about autism and fatherhood, and an anatomy refresher
FREE Tool of the week: practical tips and resources to help disorganised students
FREE resources to support clients, including co-designed posters to help young people who stutter, and the wonderful “Ask Izzy” website to connect clients & families to the help they need
Private practice tips about supervision, workplace safety, and questions to ask yourself when faced with a problem
Open-access research/summaries on screen media exposure & vocab; and the increase in children with speech & language needs
Perspectives on work and life, including a reminder to clear out those ancient assessment tools!
We hope you find some useful stuff for your practice!
Free Therapy Resources
Excellent free vocabulary resource - full of useful morphology roots and ‘morpheme matrices’.

Ellie Mason has cerebral palsy and her mum was told she’d never speak, but through speech therapy and help from her mum and a singing teacher she has found her voice and is now performing on stage!

Having a long overdue clear out of the office in our language resource base- found an assessment from 1962 which includes not even a CD, but a record! When was this last used?!! 😂 @STAHackney@WordAware@snoopysnue@Ameliavwh
