"Speech & Language Pathology, Verbal Behavior, & Applied Behavior Analysis: Developing an Integrative Approach" will be presented at BABAT- Massachusetts Professionals In Behavior Analysis by #SLPBCBA Beth Bellone, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCBA, LABA and Mei-Hua Li, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LABA. Event Description Behavior analysts and speech and language pathologists often work in the same settings and share clients. Professional experiences, training, and the environment shape our clinical practices. Speech and language pathologists’ experiences and expertise are different from those of a behavior analyst. This panel will discuss scope and competence of both fields, discuss barriers to collaboration, how to overcome differences professionally, as well as how to integrate both fields for the benefit of the client. Learning Objectives ⏺ Attendees will be able to define collaboration and the steps to collaborating effectively. ⏺ Attendees will be able to describe barriers to effective collaboration. ⏺ Attendees will be able to list differences and commonalities in the scope of practice across professions.

Are you familiar with the myth that late-talking children always catch up to their peers? Research shows otherwise. Studies indicate that around 40-50% of children who experience delayed speech development do not catch up on their own despite showing typical skills in other areas. Even if they eventually appear to catch up, they remain at a higher risk for challenges in reading, social interactions, and academic performance. If you're concerned about your toddler's language development, it's essential to consult a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Early intervention significantly improves outcomes, as most language learning occurs in the first five years of life. Children's brains are highly receptive to learning and development during this critical period. Don't wait to seek help if you have concerns about your child's speech. Contact an SLP to discuss intervention options!

Our latest #ASHAInnovator is Gabriella Gizzo, an SLP in New York. Find out how Gabriella makes a difference in the CSD profession by getting to know the students she helps as a school-based SLP on a personal level, and why she believes other providers should do the same. What led you to become a CSD professional? “My younger brother was a late talker, so he received early intervention home care services. I got to see firsthand the impact of speech therapy. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be a speech therapist to help other children communicate. “My motto is, ‘Everyone deserves a voice.’” How do you use innovation in your work? “I am a speech language pathologist at Lavelle School for the Blind. My students have visual and cognitive impairments. Therefore, I am constantly adapting different speech resources and materials to be applicable to this population. For example, I use tactile cue cards with actual objects rather than 2-D pictures.” Tell us about a time you’ve made an impact in your profession. “Currently, I am a school-based speech language pathologist. My caseload has students with visual and cognitive impairments. Through trial and error, I learned that one of my students responds well to music. Therefore, I started singing directions or phrases and having this student fill in the blank to expand his verbal language skills. This personal impact shows how important it is for providers to get to know their students on a personal level.” ________________________ The ASHA Innovator initiative is led by ASHA’s 2023 Board of Directors President Dr. Robert M.

For Speech-Language Pathologists, the Clock Drawing Test serves as a valuable tool in assessing cognitive communication abilities. Observing how individuals approach the task, describe their actions, and explain their drawings can yield information about language fluency, word-finding difficulties, and overall communication skills. #SpeechLanguageHearingMonth #PeopleFirst #clockdrawing
