Send us a text🎙️ Just dropped Season 6 of Therapod Podcast - "More Than Words" - and I'm excited to share what we're exploring.This season dives deep into speech and language development across the lifespan. Not just therapy techniques, but how communication shapes education, work, and daily life.I'm joined by co-host Carolyn Galler, an advisory teacher for speech, language and communication needs, bringing a fresh perspective to our conversations.Our latest episode features Amanda Finder, who's developed something remarkable - the "DLD Me" program. It helps children and teens understand their Developmental Language Disorder and build self-advocacy skills.What struck me most? Amanda's insight that we often take children out of class for therapy without explaining why they need it. We're addressing the elephant in the room - helping young people understand their strengths AND their challenges.The research is clear: early self-advocacy skills lead to better long-term outcomes. Yet too often, we make decisions about children without asking what they actually need.For therapists and educators following my work - this episode offers practical approaches to student voice and self-determination. Essential listening if you're supporting children with communication needs.Available now on all podcast platforms. What resonates with you about giving children agency in their own therapeutic journey?#SpeechTherapy #ChildDevelopment #TherapodPodcast
