      <title>Maggie &amp; Francie: Can Non-Speaking Autistic Kids Read Minds? | SLPs Break Down the Telepathy Tapes</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Zach sits down with speech-language pathologists Maggie and Francie, hosts of Tell Me About It: An SLP Podcast (‪@tellmeaboutitslp‬), to unpack the explosive claims made in the wildly popular Telepathy Tapes. The series suggests that some non-speaking autistic individuals can communicate telepathically, but when communication experts listened closely, they saw a different story.</p>
<p>Drawing on their backgrounds in speech science and psychology, Maggie and Francie break down the communication methods featured in the podcast, including Spelling to Communicate (S2C), AAC, and the controversial history of facilitated communication. They explore how unconscious cueing, tiny signals like posture, breathing, or eye movement, can shape responses without anyone realizing it, and why extraordinary claims require careful scientific testing.</p>
<p>The conversation also tackles the emotional side of the issue: how well-meaning parents can be drawn into pseudoscience, and how clinicians can support non-speaking individuals with compassion while staying grounded in evidence-based communication tools.</p>
<p>Guest bios: Maggie Johnson is a speech-language pathologist who has worked with children across schools, homes, and clinical settings. She is also the founder and owner of Bright Light Language in St. Louis, Missouri. Francie Collins is a speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric communication and has an academic background in psychology. Together, Maggie and Francie host Tell Me About It: An SLP Podcast, where they explore topics in speech-language pathology, communication science, and evidence-based clinical practice.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of The All About Kids Podcast, we’re joined by Shannon Kennedy, a certified speech-language pathologist and former Clinical Fellow here at All About Kids. Shannon takes us through her journey into the world of speech therapy — from her early inspiration to that powerful moment when everything clicked and she knew she was right where she was supposed to be. We talk about what it’s really like during your CF year, what she wishes she had known going into it, and how she’s learned to navigate one of the most important — and often overlooked — aspects of the job: the parent-therapist dynamic. Shannon also opens up about misconceptions around the SLP field, how to spot burnout, and what keeps her inspired. Plus, she shares her favorite tools and toys for therapy sessions, and gives thoughtful advice for grad students and future CFs stepping into the field.

Shannon takes us through her journey into the world of speech therapy — from her early inspiration to that powerful moment when everything clicked and she knew she was right where she was supposed to be.

We talk about what it’s really like during your CF year, what she wishes she had known going into it, and how she’s learned to navigate one of the most important — and often overlooked — aspects of the job: the parent-therapist dynamic.

Shannon also opens up about misconceptions around the SLP field, how to spot burnout, and what keeps her inspired. Plus, she shares her favorite tools and toys for therapy sessions, and gives thoughtful advice for grad students and future CFs stepping into the field. Whether you’re an aspiring SLP, a seasoned therapist, or someone who just wants to understand the heart behind this work — this episode has something for you.</itunes:summary>

We were extremely lucky to have Kathy on the podcast, she is so good at what she does and such a knowledgeable source on communication and working with children with autism.

      <title>Jenn Cody: Sensory Diets | Part 1</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of All About Kids, Zach talks with Jennifer Cody about the long-overdue buzz around the importance of sensory processing. Increasingly parents and teachers are recognizing the powerful impacts of environmental feedback, which is exciting for occupational therapists like Jenn, who is also a supervisor at AAK. She has devoted her career to giving kids the tools they need to recognize and manage stressors. In Part I of a two-part episode, Jenn defines and explains what constitutes a “sensory diet,” best practices, and strategies to implement. Helping every child reach an “optimal state” means meeting them where they are and tailoring a program that works not just for them but also at home and in the classroom. Working collaboratively and incorporating a realistic “diet” of activities is key. Jenn details specific programs that include activities helpful to kids – and that would very likely be helpful to anyone coping with stress, anxiety, or overload at any age or stage of life! </p><p> </p><p><strong>ALL ABOUT KIDS LINKS:</strong></p><p>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-kids-podcast/id1522359220">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-kids-podcast/id1522359220</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3I6qWwwdeJnlJg8Mx94He9?si=A7ieoF8yQJeqi_JnS6tXrg&dl_branch=1">https://open.spotify.com/show/3I6qWwwdeJnlJg8Mx94He9?si=A7ieoF8yQJeqi_JnS6tXrg&dl_branch=1</a></p><p>Overcast: <a href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1522359220/all-about-kids-podcast">https://overcast.fm/itunes1522359220/all-about-kids-podcast</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://aakcares.com/">https://aakcares.com/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aakcares">https://www.facebook.com/aakcares</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/aakcares">https://twitter.com/aakcares</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/all-about-kids">https://www.linkedin.com/company/all-about-kids</a></p><p> </p>

      <title>Jerry Rothwell: The Reason I Jump, Living As A Non-Speaking Autistic Person, Sensory Perception, &amp; The Power Of Nature</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of all about kids, Zach talks with Jerry Rothwell, a documentary filmmaker who has made films like Town of Runners, How To Change the World, Heavy Load, and most recently, The Reason I Jump, inspired by the writings of a young non-speaking autistic boy. The film centers around the central question of the author, Naoki Higashida, ‘could you imagine how your life would be if you couldn’t say what you wanted?’  Through groundbreaking visual and audio techniques, Rothwell brings to light beautiful stories of those often overlooked and invisible in a way that leaves the viewer profoundly changed. In this episode, Jerry and Zach get into the challenges of making a film centered around non-speaking people, the unique way the audio was recorded, Jerry’s journey as a filmmaker, and more. </p><p> </p><p><strong>JERRY LINKS:</strong></p><p>Watch <i>The Reason I Jump</i>: <a href="https://thereasonijumpfilm.com/">https://thereasonijumpfilm.com/</a></p><p>Jerry Rothwell Website: <a href="https://jerryrothwell.com/">https://jerryrothwell.com/</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/jerry_rothwell?lang=en">https://twitter.com/jerry_rothwell?lang=en</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>ALL ABOUT KIDS LINKS:</strong></p><p>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-kids-podcast/id1522359220">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-kids-podcast/id1522359220</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3I6qWwwdeJnlJg8Mx94He9?si=A7ieoF8yQJeqi_JnS6tXrg&dl_branch=1">https://open.spotify.com/show/3I6qWwwdeJnlJg8Mx94He9?si=A7ieoF8yQJeqi_JnS6tXrg&dl_branch=1</a></p><p>Overcast: <a href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1522359220/all-about-kids-podcast">https://overcast.fm/itunes1522359220/all-about-kids-podcast</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://aakcares.com/">https://aakcares.com/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aakcares">https://www.facebook.com/aakcares</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/aakcares">https://twitter.com/aakcares</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/all-about-kids">https://www.linkedin.com/company/all-about-kids</a></p><p> </p><p> </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Our guest on this episode of the All About Kids podcast is Phillipa Ross, a speech language pathologist who is completing her clinical fellowship with AAK. Phillipa shares her perspectives on the abrupt shift to teletherapy in the midst of COVID-19, discussing both the challenges and the opportunities that the digital platform present for having meaningful interactions with her clients. These current circumstances emphasize the importance of being flexible and sensitive, treating each client and each session in a unique way to best serve the clients and their families. </p><p>For younger clients, Phillipa has found that building rapport with their parents and finding out what activities or characters they like goes a long way in connecting with the child. This communication channel with the parents is also important when it comes to being informed in a timely manner about cancellations or absences, which have a way of disrupting every therapist’s day-to-day. Phillipa leaves listeners with the advice to evaluate each child as a whole, not just looking at the results of a specific test, and helping those closest to the child understand how their challenges could be impacting their day-to-day habits and routines.</p><p> </p><p>Follow All About Kids: https://www.instagram.com/aakcares/</p><p>All About Kids Website: https://aakcares.com/</p><p> </p>

      <itunes:summary>Our guest on this episode of the All About Kids podcast is Phillipa Ross, a speech-language pathologist who is completing her clinical fellowship with AAK. Phillipa shares her perspectives on the abrupt shift to teletherapy in the midst of COVID-19, discussing both the challenges and the opportunities that the digital platform present for having meaningful interactions with her clients. These current circumstances emphasize the importance of being flexible and sensitive, treating each client and each session in a unique way to best serve the clients and their families. For younger clients, Phillipa has found that building rapport with their parents and finding out what activities or characters they like goes a long way in connecting with the child. This communication channel with the parents is also important when it comes to being informed in a timely manner about cancellations or absences, which have a way of disrupting every therapist’s day-to-day. Phillipa leaves listeners with the advice to evaluate each child as a whole, not just looking at the results of a specific test, and helping those closest to the child understand how their challenges could be impacting their day-to-day habits and routines.
