Welcome! I’m David, and we’re at the finish line of season 3 of the Banter Booster. Thanks for reading!
Congrats to all the Sydney marathoners yesterday!
We’ve assembled a horde of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources to support children with CAS, playdate ideas for families, & game resources to build narratives
FREE learning opportunities/resources about implementation science, explicit instruction, & airway maneuvers
Tool of the week: short reading comprehension passages for therapy
Useful idea: Tap it, map it, write it, zap it!
Private practice tips: why direction>speed, and keyboard shortcuts
Open-access research/summaries about the NELI language intervention, intelligibility, & PPA
Client perspectives on communication disorders & the justice system, voicebanking & DLD.
Ready, set…!
