Banter Booster #7: Useful tools and resources for speech pathologists
Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and here’s live footage of me reviewing our team’s calendar:
It’s all possible, I guess?
From wild fields of doom-scrolling, we’ve harvested a crop of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources, including a nice spelling/sound tool, online story dice, and marine-themed study resources
FREE training opportunities about school vocabulary, autistic masking and direct instruction
Tool of the week: our strength and interest-based reading passages, with comprehension questions for reluctant readers
Activity idea for short vowel discrimination practice
Private practice tips on KPIs that matter most
Open-access research/summaries about telehealth-delivery of More than Words; DLD; and human speech prediction
Client perspectives on youth justice and dysarthria, and a beatboxing masterclass you have to see to believe!
Let’s plough ahead!

Tool of the Week
Activity Idea
Here we are working on short vowels. These cards are from @readingwithtlc Can students differentiate the vowel sound in words? This activity helps students hear the difference between the short vowels. You can use vowel tents too. A quick activity.

Client & other perspectives
This is why having Speech and Language Therapy input into Youth Justice Services is so important ⬇️. Great advocation from the YJS worker. Thank you to the judge for considering the SLT report & changing this young person's life. A huge shout out to Jen, our SLT @RCS@RCSLTS#MYSLTDayp

Great SLT moment today with a person living with MND. Severe dysarthria but wants to communicate verbally ‘live’. 1st time trying @Google#projectrelate using Repeat feature. Just what he was looking for. His verdict - ‘I’m impressed!’ Thanks for the training @speedoftrust27

Have I ever mentioned how much I love beatboxing battles?
The incredible versatility of the human voice + years of practice + intensely competitive creativity
An under-rated art form.— Geoffrey Miller (@primalpoly)
