Communication.
ReplyDeleteExpressing yourself is great.
Each in our own way.
**A major takeaway from this class for me is learning about all of the different speech/language disorders and terminology that goes along with it. I am privileged to get to work alongside a speech pathologist in my classroom all day long in a Communication Development Program. I have learned and am familiar with many of the terms we have discussed in class, but have never known beyond. This class gave me the opportunity to put myself in the shoes of a speech pathologist and understand all of ways in which children communicate differently. I am able to take this information back to my classroom and understand even more know about their communication deficits and can more effectively help them overcome barriers.
You are privileged to have an SLP in your room daily.

communication
My biggest take away from this class is the difference between speech and language. Before taking this class I was unaware of all the different components that go into diagnosing a student with a speech/ language disorder. Throughout the class I have realized that communication disorders are more prevalent than I thought. This class also allowed me to look at the work that our speech language pathologists do on a daily basis. Working with children with communication disorders is a difficult and tedious task and I give SLP's a lot of credit.
I'm glad you've picked up on the nuances and differences between language, speech, and communication disorders.

I've always had patience with individuals with speech impairments but I've been finding myself more patient and giving those times with receptive communication delays. I have to take a step back and think about what they are hearing from me when I rattle a multi-step direction off in the classroom. I'm beginning to use more visuals. A major takeaway I received from this classroom is that language develops at various stages. These are things to keep in mind about development and wondering if the child has a speech delay or if it's developmentally appropriate. Not everyone will progress the same but simply modeling for a child the proper way will help improve their speech and language.
Understanding developmental stages is so important.

ReplyDeleteI want to understand you
But sometimes I can't
For me the biggest take away is understanding the difference between speech problems and language problems. It is so much more intricate and intertwined than I ever thought. I find now I am trying to be more aware when students may have a language problem. Whereas before I just paid attention to incorrect sounds that students made.
It is so important to both understand and then work on those differences.

Help me find a way
For me, the whole class has really been an eye-opener. Prior, I grouped speech and language disorders together, rather than a person specifically having a speech disorder or a language disorder. I also really enjoyed looking at speech and language disorders from student perspectives, and how frustrating it can be for him and her. Furthermore, I liked learning about the different strategies we can use in the classroom, so he or she can practice the skills that he/she is working on with the speech pathologist.
Love you haiku!

Kindness is the key
This class gave me better insight into what goes on around me daily regarding the needs of speech therapy and how truly important it is in relation to academics. One thing I use in my classroom is to be patient and listen to a student with speech/language needs. Give them time and understand the difficulties they face. When I need to bring up concerns with our SLP, I now have a better understanding what she might be looking for and why some issues are or are not as important as I once thought.
Kindness IS key!
