It is quite common for children to experience communication challenges in adolescence, from difficulties with articulation, social communication skills, and everything in between. In some instances, there can seem to be a recurrence of issues that were thought previously resolved or “outgrown”. If you are the parent of a teenager, you may find yourself wondering if your child might benefit from speech therapy. Experienced speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can help teens overcome their communication challenges. In this article, we will explore the value of speech therapy for teens, what speech therapy for teenagers looks like, and how you can support your teen at home. 🗣If you think your teen would benefit from speech therapy, don’t wait to get started.

https://lnkd.in/gcdUY_4D Cognitive dissonance happens when you hold two conflicting thoughts in your mind at the same time — Like denying hearing loss while still being aware of having communication difficulties. Canadian Audiologist published an article by Bill Hodgetts, PhD, called “Psychological Dimensions of Hearing Healthcare: Audiology is More Than Just Diagnoses and Devices” in Canadian Audiologist (Vol 11, Issue 3, 2024). I wanted to bring Bill’s ideas to life by creating a reel about cognitive dissonance. When a person denies hearing loss, this narrative creates tension because it conflicts with awareness of having difficulties. I realized after watching the reel that these thoughts conflict with themselves and each other. What we know to be true and what we want to be true can co-exist. One isn’t necessarily true-er than the other! “Resolving a patient’s cognitive dissonance for various factors is a huge part of our job. Addressing cognitive dissonance in audiology involves education, counseling, and support to help reconcile conflicting beliefs.”

Negative experiences in the womb and in early childhood impact on one's capacity to cope with stress throughout life. There is a tendency to be sensory defensive, as the sensory systems have become sensitised to the possibility of danger. Children develop behavioural strategies early on in order to survive their attachment environment. SAI recognises the need to target the areas of the brain that are the source of the dysfunction. It then focuses on facilitating modulation of the body senses through the just right combination of up regulating and down regulating experiences. SAI follows the neurological principle of use-dependent learning, embedding regulation into the daily routine. The sensory and attachment patterns of Carers are also addressed, as attachment is a co-regulation process. https://lnkd.in/gq4Vbb7S
