    What Is An IEP Plan? Podcast #4 Mar 14, 2013
    Show notes

    In this episode of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast, I answer the question of “What is an IEP Plan?” by giving you an overview of what to expect from the IEP process (for parents). And in the quick tip, I share a website for learning sign language that you can use with your child with a language delay.

    What is An IEP Plan?

    An IEP is an Individualized Education Program. This is the plan that your child’s public school must complete if your child is found to have a disability. In this episode, you will learn about the following steps to the IEP process:

    **Disclaimer: This is how the IEP process works in Missouri. Other states may do things slightly differently but it will all follow the same basic format because many of these things are federally mandated

    • What is an IEP Plan?

        1. Parent Referral
        2. Teacher Referral
      1. When a referral comes in
        1. Screening by an SLP
      1. Is there concern that your child may have a disability?
        1. Yes: Begin IEP evaluation process
        2. No: give you and the teacher strategies to use at home
      1. Begin Evaluation Process
      2. First meeting: Review of Existing Data

      1. Does She Qualify?
        1. Yes: Have 30 days to write the IEP
        2. No: You can ask for strategies or home ideas for areas that were low but didn’t qualify, you can also ask for local speech therapists that you could pay privately to do speech therapy with your child
      1. The IEP meeting
        1. child’s strengths and your concerns

    How to do Speech Therapy at Home: Podcast 3 Mar 08, 2013
    Show notes

    In this episode, I discuss how to get your child to sit down and do speech therapy at home with you. Also, in the quick tip, I will tell you about a resource that has helped me keep my students engaged and doing work with me for a very long period of time!

    Download the Podcast in Itunes!

    Speech Therapy at Home Notes:

    1. Setting Up Your Home Therapy Schedule
      • Choose specific times that are designated as speech times
      • Set a schedule or for older children, work it into their homework routine as something they need to do before they can be done with homework for the evening.
      • Start with very short sessions and build up time
      • Choose a certain location that speech time will happen each time (can move around and have fun, just start there)
      • Be consistent!
      • Don’t give in if your child doesn’t want to do it. If you are running low on time or energy, just make your child do speech work at the scheduled time for one minute. That way you’re still in the routine even if neither of you had it in you to do a full session.
      • Explain to your child what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
        • Older Children vs. younger children
    1. Setting Up Each Home Therapy Session
      • Have one specific skill in mind that you want to target
      • Choose an activity that’s fun!
        • www.speechandlanguagekids.com/weekly-activity
      • Have everything you need together
      • Give your child a 5-minute warning
      • Have a highly reinforcing reward for the end
    1. Starting the Session
      • Tell your child what you’re going to do and why you’re going to do it (especially older kids)
      • Your child should know what he’s working on
      • Tell her what she’s working for, what are the criteria for getting it
      • Set a timer and set it short
    1. Making the Session Fun
      • Play a game while you work
      • Trace something while you work
      • Give them a piece to something after they do a little work (marbleworks)
      • Hold yoga poses while doing work
      • Perform actions while doing work
      • Shoot hoops or toss a ball while doing work
      • Plastic coins/treasure in a slot
      • Put cards in mailbox
      • Find computer or I-Pad games that will work on the skill (technology is always fun!)
      • Have your child be the teacher and show you how to do it (get it wrong so they can correct you)
      • Hide their work around the house and have them find the work
      • Video tape or audio record them doing their work so they can watch/listen to it later
      • Take pictures of them doing their work and make a book they can show others
      • Tape work to walls in the bathroom, turn off lights, use flashlight to find and say
      • Put work on wall and shoot it with a dart gun
      • Make file folder games:
        • www.SpeechAndLanguageKids.com/products
      • Find worksheets
        • www.mommyspeechtherapy.com
    1. Making sure they will want to do it again
      • Praise them a lot!!
      • End with something they are successful with
      • If it’s too hard, back down to something easier and then mix in the harder ones
      • If you get frustrated, end the session early.
      • Mark their progress and show it to them.

    Troubleshooting:

    • Toddler won’t do it: work it into play
      • /b/ sound by bringing out bubbles, ball, balloon, barn, book
      • Trying to get them to talk: put everything out of their reach and get confused when they point
      • Put things they want in sealed jars so they have to ask for help
      • Give them toys that wind up
    • Preschooler won’t do it:
      • bee hive for reinforcer
      • timer
      • shorter sessions
      • Get siblings or friends involved
    • Child with Autism won’t do it:
      • strong reinforcer (can be food) given after you help them do the skill
      • Fade prompts so they’re doing it on their own
      • Break skills into smallest parts
    • Child won’t imitate any sounds
      • have him imitate actions first. If he won’t do it, help him and then reinforce like he did it on his own
    • Child’s too old for playing games
      • Get buy-in. Make sure he knows why it’s important to improve speech
    • I don’t have time!
      • Throw some speech work or words in your purse or car and pull them out when you’re stuck in traffic or waiting in a line somewhere

    Speech and Language Disorders Notes:

    In this episode, you will get answers to these questions:

    ** Don’t get overwhelmed, don’t try to remember all

    • Speech Delays, Disorders, and Therapies
      • Define: specific sound or many sound (common misconception)
      • Types of delays and disorders and their therapies
        • Articulation Disorder-therapies
        • Phonological Disorder-therapies
        • Apraxia of Speech-therapies (AAC)
        • Motor Speech Disorders-therapies (AAC)
    • Language Delays, Disorders, and Therapies
      • Define: using language to communicate and understanding the language that others are using to communicate with you
      • Areas of language that can be affected: grammar, vocabulary, using words, combining words to make phrases or sentences, asking and answering questions, following directions, reading, writing, social language
      • Therapies:
        • What an SLP can do
        • What you can do at home:
    • Fluency/Stuttering
      • Define: children who have difficulty speaking with appropriate rhythm
      • Types of fluency disorders:
        • Stuttering: repeat sounds/words/phrases, get stuck on sounds, physically struggle to get sounds and words out
        • Cluttering: speak very quickly and with irregular rate or intonation, leave off sounds, difficulty finding the word to convey what they mean (that place with the people where we went that one time)
      • Therapies for fluency disorders:
        • SLP does:
          • indirect for younger children: demonstrate slow rate, have child identify bumpy and smooth in the SLP’s voice
          • ** Many young children go through normal bouts of stuttering, your SLP will help you know if you should be worried or not
          • direct therapy
        • What You can do at home: talk to SLP first, here are some tips to help ease the pressure at home:
    • Voice Disorder
      • Define: Problem with the production of sound from the child’s voice.
        • Examples: too loud, too soft, scratchy, breathy, too high/low, hoarse
        • Causes:
          • physical abnormalities on the vocal cords
          • vocal abuse
          • learned way of speaking
        • Therapies:
          • fix physical problems (doctor, not slp)
          • vocal rest
          • teaching the child how to use the voice appropriately

    How Can I Tell If My Child has a problem in one of these areas?

    • Ask your child’s teachers how he compares to other children in his class. Is she worried?
    • Compare your child to other children his age. If you aren’t often around other children, take your child to a playground or playplace and watch how he communicates compared to the other children, then ask the other parents how old their children are. Keep in mind, there is a wide range of normal. Your child could be quite a bit behind another child his age but they may both be in the normal range.
    • Request a screening by an SLP. Most states have programs that will do this for free for children aged birth-three years. After that, the public schools will do screenings for free, you just need to call your school and ask how to get a hold of a speech-language pathologist
