This month we welcome Student Caryl doing her practicum to complete her Post Grad Certification as a CDA! Giving back to the profession in assisting others on their career path is a privilege in the field of Speech-Language Pathology! Meet Caryl… ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Hello my name is Caryl. I did my undergrad in speech and language sciences at Brock University and I am currently doing my field placement for my communicative disorders assistant certificate for Durham College. I became interested in this field after accompanying my relative to his speech and language therapy sessions. I am excited to learn more and apply my learning in a clinical setting while I’m here at Advantage Speech Pathology Services. My hobbies include listening to music, singing, and playing the guitar. #durhamcollege #cdastudents #workplacement #givingbacktotheprofession #wevegotyoucovered #privatepractice #speech #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #communicativedisordersassistant #therapyassistant #niagarafallscanada🇨🇦 #niagararegion #niagarasmallbusiness #ontariosmallbusiness #advantagespeechservices

💫The last one is more common than you think. ⭐️ SLPs & CDAs, this post is for YOU! We play an important role in a child’s communication journey, and we should be equipped on how to support parents/caregivers in doing home practice. Here’s what you can do: 1️⃣ Emphasize that home practice is short and sweet, no more than 5-10 minutes a day. 2️⃣ Ask the parent/caregiver what activities they have at home, and shape your sessions using these. If you don’t have the specific activity they mention, be creative! Tell the parent how to extrapolate what they did in the session in the home environment. 3️⃣ Talk to the child and parent/caregiver about what helps them remember. Encourage them to use this system to set up reminders for home practice. 4️⃣ Evaluate if the child and/or parent/caregiver is ready for home practice and consider ways in which you can get them ready. This may include adapting how often home practice is done; instead of everyday, perhaps every week. 5️⃣ Given the shift to parent-centered care, we acknowledge that parents/caregivers know their child best. This does not, however, mean that they wouldn’t benefit from coaching and guidance on how to get their child to achieve their goals. This is where incorporating the parent into the session and providing opportunities for them to learn and make mistakes becomes SO important. Maintaining a safe space where both children and parents/caregivers can learn and grow is key. 🩵 Follow @goldenhourslp for more home practice tips! 📝The article used to inform this post can be found in the post above. ⚠️Disclaimer: The content in this post is for educational purposes only. It is not meant to be a substitute for specific information or care plans recommended by your or your child’s Speech-Language Pathologist. #speechlanguagepathology #speechlanguagepathologist #speechlanguagetherapy #goldenhour #homepractice #communicationiskey #everyonedeservesavoice #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #communicativedisordersassistant #homepractice #goldenhourslp

"What is Your Why": research and education goes hand in hand! I was always curious about language development. When my high school guidance counselor asked me what I wanted to study in university, I told him "Linguistics". I remember him telling me "oh, there's no other courses you can take in highschool to prepare for that field". Determined, I looked on Google and at the library for resources about language development. My journey was just beginning! I quickly found out that even if you build your knowledge, you also need to strengthen your application of what you know, which is why I went onto get more training and hands on experience in research labs, community settings and classrooms. Stay curious 📚🧐 #reflection #whatisyourwhy #raisondetre #purposeinlife #purpose #research #communicativedisordersassistant #linguistics #theoryandpractice #education

Counting the years this week and oh how we’ve made those years count! 🎉We’re celebrating 8 years of business! 🎉 What started off as a possibility has turned into something bigger than ever imagined. From its start, the idea of providing quality speech and language services to individuals in the Niagara Region was very much a group effort. Through the support of family, friends, and colleagues (both past and present), ASPS continues to grow and expand by offering services to both children and adults. Our current team is made up of 9 Speech-Language Pathologists, 3 Communicative Disorders Assistants and an Administrative Assistant, each with years of experience in the field. ASPS provides an atmosphere of positivity, and support to its clients, from intake, to assessment, and treatment. ASPS wishes to thank all our previous clients and present clients that have entrusted us with their habilitation and rehabilitation journeys. At Advantage Speech Pathology Services, we are committed to giving each individual the advantage. #celebrateyourself #celebratewithus #8years #8thyearinbusiness #happybirthdaytous #yearafteryear #wevegotyoucovered #privatepractice #speech #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #communicativedisordersassistant #therapyassistant #niagarafallscanada🇨🇦 #niagararegion #niagarasmallbusiness #ontariosmallbusiness #advantagespeechservices
