Did you grow up watching Looney Tunes?

🙋🏼‍♀️ I sure did!

But now viewing them WAY differently as a speech-language pathologist!

I watched the new “Space Jam” with the Looney Tunes characters with my boys. I could not turn off my eyes and ears. I kept watching and diagnosing. Most of the characters have communication disorders.

Although Looney Tunes is meant to be entertaining, overcoming communication disorders has its challenges. While we can understand the messages these characters are conveying, many individuals with speech and language impairments may not have the ability to communicate information easily with others. Therefore, we need to be patient and understanding, and offer support whenever we can. ❤️

🤨 Tell me - Who is your favorite Looney Tunes character?

🌈Let’s stay healthy together!! Read on to know how🌈

💗 Our niece Diana, made this gluten free cake today (her younger sister has celiac disease) and sent us this picture 🥰.

We haven’t seen them in months except for an outdoors masked photo and gift exchange on Christmas Day (less than 5 minutes). 😔

🤯It is both easy and hard to believe that it has now been a year of separation during the pandemic!!

We miss our nieces and nephews so much but are also so proud of their resilience, grace, patience, and kindness (to themselves and others) this last year. 💕

COVID-19 (the disease) has been kinder to children than adults. Kids have mostly done very well, generally speaking, if infected with COVID-19. But we definitely know that the social, emotional, and educational aspects of their lives have been affected. 🤗

We are so proud of what so many of the children (and their parents) of this country have given to remain socially distant to control this pandemic. 💪🏻

☀️ We are starting to see the light at the end of this very long tunnel. Let’s get vaccinated and wear our masks so we can continue to move forth to better brighter days. We look forward to seeing kids back at school!

Remember to stay up to date with your wellness checks by your pediatrician, your dental care, good nutrition, developmental assessments (and therapies when needed), and most of all let’s remember our mental health! COVID-19 is a big concern, but not the only concern‼️

SLPs - click the bookmark, you’ll want to “save” this post for later! 😉

Many speech-language pathologists reference Brown’s classic language development studies when analyzing language samples.

Brown (1973) found that irregular past tense plurals developed early in the developmental sequence.

However, a study by Shipley et al. (1991) examined 120 children between 3;0 and 9;0 years, and found that some irregular verbs (e.g., hit) were correctly produced by the three-year-olds, but other irregulars (e.g., sent) were still not mastered by age 9.

Based on their findings, they created a preliminary order of development of the irregular past tense verbs (80% mastery level), which is posted in this infographic.

Reference: Shipley, K.G., Maddox, M.A., & Driver, J.E. (1991). Children’s development of irregular past tense verb forms. Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, Vol 22, 115-122.

How many did you get? 🧐⁣
⁣
When working with young adults with disabilities, I learned quickly the importance of making all therapy time functional, meaningful and motivating.

There had to be a point and reason for everything we were doing or I would lose their interest. Everything I addressed during therapy needed to apply to their daily lives.

This still continues to apply to my littlest clients and working with families. Generalization of skills from therapy is paramount to the overall success of any treatment. ⁣

Emojis are everywhere! Most people, if not all, know them and use them daily! If an older student does not understand them nor use them like others, this may impact their social relationships.

Emojis can also help older individuals with an impairment in written expression who often have difficulties with spelling errors, grammar and organization of written expression.

Overall, emojis can be a fun and easy way to work on SO many skills across various school-age, adolescent and adult groups.⁣
⁣
Some creative ways use emojis in therapy:⁣

1️⃣Use an emoji quiz like this during your initial sessions or first day of school activities for ice breakers and building rapport. This also gives an educator insight into their higher-level thinking skills. ⁣

2️⃣Address the various meanings behind the different emojis. Work on simplifying text messages with less text and more emojis.⁣

3️⃣Teach the emotions behind the various emoji faces and then identify situations when you would use each emoji⁣

4️⃣Teach that emojis can change the tone or feeling of a statement. Write down a statement that someone might text. At the end, place a different emoji and talk about how that message could change its meaning to the person reading it (e.g., “I’m fine 😁” versus “I’m fine 😞”)⁣

5️⃣Discuss how emojis can bring humor to text conversations. Talk about which emojis often make people laugh or smile 🤪⁣

6️⃣Use emojis during self-reflection exercises with students (e.g., “Circle the emoji on how you are feeling today?” or “Circle the emoji on how you felt about this assignment”)⁣
