Differences Between auditory processing therapy in Atlanta GA and Speech-Language therapy

Auditory processing therapy focuses on improving the brain's ability to process and interpret sounds, including speech sounds. This type of therapy is often used to treat individuals who have difficulty with hearing, understanding, or recalling sounds, words, or sentences. Auditory processing therapy in Atlanta GA may involve a variety of techniques and exercises, such as auditory discrimination training, auditory memory training, and auditory integration training.

Speech-language therapy, on the other hand, focuses on improving an individual's ability to use language effectively, including both spoken and written language. This type of therapy is often used to treat individuals who have difficulty with articulation, fluency, voice, comprehension, or expression. Speech-language therapy may involve a variety of techniques and exercises, such as articulation drills, language games, and social communication training.

Telepractice in Speech-Language Pathology

I went to a seminar yesterday hosted by UMASS Amherst and the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, MA.  The first talk was about telepractice in speech-language pathology.  It appears that an SLP who has tech knowledge and skills would be able to work from a home office conducting this model of service delivery.  Not for everyone but worth a look!

The other day I was working with a high school senior on expressive and receptive language skills.  Many students in this age group with whom I work have better expressive skills than receptive.  They have become well adept at taking over the conversation and convincing others they are "in control".  This turns out to be a common way adolescents with LLD or hearing impairment cover up their receptive deficits.  

On this day I use an infographic entitled "Salary Science" from the www.dailyinfographic.om site.  He reads it over and I ask him a few questions.  There are lots of statistics included in infographics.  His reply to one of my questions on interpretation of a statistic is "hey wait!  That's math!  This is not math class!"  I quickly seize the opportunity to explain to him, that this is "communication class" and that these figures are attempting to communicate information to him.   He is a very bright student and def knows when I am making a salient point!  

The referenced article demonstrates how this type of instructional design can be implemented beginning at a young age to increase incidental learning and rationale for those subjects that may at times feel distant from "real life".  Both lessons show how critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity can not be separated from any subject if we expect our children to learn to think vs. learn to repeat.
