The only thing better than a great graphic is a great graphic that cites the research source of your message! Thank you @thesltscrapbook. Speech pathologists know their methods are ‘evidence based’ and we see our strategies work every single day. #speechhearbc #slpeeps #speechlanguagepathology #earlyintervention #speechlanguagetherapy

We value all forms of communication. Every individual has thoughts and feelings to express and a need to belong. We mustn’t perpetuate the notion that AAC is inferior to speech, it’s simply a different way to communicate. #speechhearbc #slpeeps #AAC #speechlanguagepathology

Here is an excellent blog that will either inspire your play, your therapy, your shopping, or all of the above.

Older children that have communication challenges benefit from speech language therapy. Incorporating peers and technology into practice boosts motivation.

Speech language pathologists differentiate motherease from baby talk. Motherease is defined as the simplified and repetitive type of speech, with exaggerated intonation and rhythm, often used by adults when speaking to babies. This is observed in multiple languages, leading researchers to believe this is a universal phenomenon. Thanks for an excellent graphic @thespeechiecorner #speechhearbc #slpeeps #earlylanguagedevelopment

Do you remember having a toy doctor kit as a child and your dolls and teddies were your patients? What were your favourite toys? Pretend play is so important and as many of us start our holiday shopping, just say no to electronic toys or toys with batteries. Thank you SLP Corner for your timely reminder. #speechhearbc #SLPeeps #speechlanguagepathology #speechlanguagetherapy #pretendplay #pretendplaytoys #play

Did you know that speech language pathologists and audiologists are involved from birth throughout the lifespan? #speechhearbc #audpeeps #slpeeps #speechlanguagepathologist #speechlanguagepathology

Here is an awesome graphic from Speech Meta Therapy Services reminding us to think about how many different words you can model beyond a label. Remember the plus one rule, adding one word to your child’s utterance. For example, if your child says, cookie then you could add a word and model, yummy cookie or if your child says, big cookie you could add a word and say, big chocolate cookie. Practice until it becomes your new habit. This works with AAC, too! #speechhearbc #slpeeps #earlyintervention

The message is always more important than how it is said. Joe Biden is an excellent example and an awesome opportunity for us to bring stuttering to the forefront in our conversations and educate others. https://www.med.ubc.ca//how-joe-bidens-stutter-helps-peo/ #speechhearbc #slpeeps #stutteringawareness

Today is stuttering awareness day! One thing that we can all do is to be aware of the language we use when we discuss stuttering. Stuttering is not bad, wrong or inferior. It is simply a different way of talking. Change the dialogue. #speechhearbc #slpeeps #stutteringawareness

It is important to remember that telling a child what not to do, does not help them learn the expected behaviour. Thank you @weetalkers for a nice reminder. #speechhearbc #slpeeps #earlyintervention #speechlanguagepathology

Thank you for being my speech bestie! It’s great to know people that just get how important communication is, share the passion and cheer each other on. Awesome visual @talkabouttalking! #speechhearbc #slpeeps #speechbestie #speechlanguagepathology

Teach language first. Teach colours, numbers, shapes and letters next, and always in a language context. Thank you @theSLTscrapbook for this nice reminder. #speechhearbc #slpeeps #earlylanguagedevelopment
