EP 47: Child-Led Speech Therapy & Language Therapy with Cathy Shilling

SEND Parenting Podcast

Episode 47
So what is it exactly that speech and language therapists do, and how can they help neurodiverse individuals? We're shining a light on it in our latest episode with the insightful Cathy Schilling, founder of the Speech Den. We promise that you'll come away with a newfound understanding and appreciation for the importance of tailored speech therapy in unlocking the potential of children with speech and language difficulties.
Venture with us on our journey into the often-overlooked realm of auditory processing difficulties in classroom environments. It's a complex world, where the buzzing classroom could be a minefield rather than a haven of learning. Cathy helps us understand this better, and shares strategies that educators can use to make classrooms more inclusive, which could be a game-changer for many students.
We round off our discussion with a deep dive into Gestalt language processing, exploring the power of silence for co-regulation and authentic communication - something that could revolutionize your understanding of autistic communication. And if you've ever wondered about the benefits of self-advocacy and child-led learning, Cathy provides some eye-opening examples. You don't want to miss this episode – Cathy's insights are a treasure trove for anyone seeking to support neurodiversity in parenting and education.
