17. SLP CORNER: Sensory Processing Challenges with Senso Minds Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

This week's guest is Mark from Senso Minds. We discuss all things sensory! Although sensory processing disorder is not an official medical diagnosis a lot of children with special needs struggle in the sensory department. They could be hypersensitive or hyposensitive or potentially both at different times. Although I do refer to sensory processing challenges as "Sensory Processing Disorder" at times during the episode as I mentioned above, it is not an official medical diagnosis. That being said, if you are concerned about this then an Occupational Therapist (OT) would definitely be the expert in this area so it may be helpful to seek guidance and find out more information from an OT.
This podcast dives into some signs or symptoms of sensory processing challenges and what exactly sensory processing challenges means. We also discuss the mission behind Senso Minds, some of the products they have available and I review the popular topic of chewlery.
You can find Mark and the Senso Minds team on their website www.sensominds.com, their Instagram (@sensominds), and their podcast "The Sensory Corner."

Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion.
This episode discusses what babbling is, the milestones associated with babbling and potential red flags. It also covers the FQ (Fun Quotient) which is from the ESDM (Early Start Denver Model) by Sally Rogers and Geraldine Dawson, more specifically, the ESDM’s parent guide, “An Early Start for Your Child with Autism” by Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson and Laurie Vismara.

4. SLP CORNER - SNACK: Developing Speech + Language with a Box Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

Send us a Text Message.

Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion.
Due to the current pandemic we are facing, many children are not receiving speech and language therapy. I was speaking with Mrs. Speechie P and we discussed the various ways speech and language can be facilitated at home with strictly home supplies - nothing fancy. Mrs. Speechie P brought up the great idea of using a box. I loved this idea because I am sure there are many boxes arriving into peoples homes right now from frantic amazon and Costco orders.

I discuss 6 activities you can do at home with any box to help facilitate and develop speech and language. These activities can be modified however you see fit to target the needs and goals of your specific child. Ensure turn taking is occurring during the activities and remember to model what you want to see in your child so they can have lots of examples. The activities discussed will each target instructions, prepositions, pretend play and speech.
