Neighborhood Charter Schools’ Post

Our speech pathologists had a productive discussion in our group clinical supervision session today on involving parents in therapy sessions! While we see clients for about an hour at a time, parents spend countless hours with their children each week. By supporting parents to implement our strategies at home, we significantly enhance client outcomes. Our external clinical mentor guided our team discussion, sharing strategies to educate parents and adjust their expectations of therapy. It's not just about therapist-child communication; it's about teaching parents to foster language development through play and in everyday routines and environments. Research proves that parent-led interventions are most effective for enhancing children's communication skills. Discussing this as a team helps our speech pathologists feel empowered to apply these methods with their clients and problem solve as a group any existing barriers in being able to implement this evidence-based approach to come up with solutions to go and try in their practice. #speechpathology #teamwork #clientoutcomes #languagedevelopment

For many young children, producing certain words or sounds when speaking is challenging. This can lead to frustration for a child, and they may not be well understood by others or feel unable to express themselves. When left untreated, these challenges can affect a child’s ability to succeed in social and academic situations. While imperfect speech is considered to be widely common and ‘normal’ in young children, some children do not develop their speech and language skills as quickly or as easily as others, which can result in them falling behind developmentally and can also affect their confidence and self-esteem. This is where an experienced and qualified speech-language pathologist can make a mountain of difference in the life of a child. Speech therapists can help children in a wide variety of areas. They are the best resource when it comes to supporting a child’s speech, language, and communication skills. 🔗 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/gnadhvWN If you are concerned about your child’s speech, don’t wait to seek support.

Did you know about 1% of the world's population stutters? Stuttering is one of many communication disorders treated by speech pathologists. As the older generations continue to age 👵, the demand for treatment from these communication experts continues to rise. What does it take to be successful in this role? Educational requirements can vary, but in general you should study something that develops your communication and analytical skills before getting a master's degree 🎓 in SLP along with any training, licenses and certifications as required. On a human level, speech pathologists deal with people directly in difficult, stressful situations so the ability to emphasize and understand others on a deeper level is also a must. #SpiritofEnglish students are uniquely positioned to excel in this kind of role. They develop their analytical and communication skills together in a dynamic, collaborative environment where they are exposed to many different viewpoints. #FutureSuccess #EnglishJobs #EnglishCareer #SpeechTherapy #InterpersonalSkills #CommunicationSkills #CareerDevelopment #SpeechPathology #SpeechTherapist #SLPCareer #LanguageTherapy

The benefits of reading aloud to your child are endless! ♾️ In fact, research has shown that children learn the most from books when they are actively involved. Both expressive and receptive vocabulary knowledge were shown to be independently related to pre-reading skills in young children. Children with reading delays often show a difference between expressive and receptive language skills scores. Speech Therapists frequently use books to help the child conceptualize what they see and how to express themselves. The books also help with articulation, social skills and vocabulary learning. The relationship between vocabulary and reading comprehension has long been established in educational research.
