Dr. Stefka Marinova-Todd is joining us again today to discuss all things bilingualism and children with special needs. Dr. Marinova-Todd is a developmental psycholinguist with her main research interests being bilingual language development and second language acquisition. Dr. Marinova-Todd is an Associate Professor at the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences at UBC and is currently an Associate Editor at Applied Psycholinguistics, and is on the editorial board at Language, Speech and Hearing Services in Schools which is an ASHA journal.
We cover questions such as:
- Are there differences in early language development between monolingual and bilingual-exposed young children with autism?
- If a child has autism, and the parents first language is not English, which language should they speak to their child in and why? Should parents speak in a language they aren’t fully proficient in?
- If a child has special needs should they still be learning another language if their siblings are but the parents L1 is English?

Time to talk all things finances, saving, retirement, investing, money management and the list goes on! So excited to have Ryan Wells and Giacomo Silvestri from Allied Health Financial. Ryan and Giacomo are physiotherapists based out of Toronto, Canada who started Allied Health Financial after recognizing a lack of financial education among allied health professionals. They feel that many individuals who are focused on the care of their patients have not spent a lot of time focusing on their financial future. Their goal is to empower Canadian allied health professionals to take control of their financial future by providing evidence-based personal finance education. A great place for people to get started is by downloading their free Financial ToolKit which includes their Financial Planner, Tax Tracker and Savings Calculator.
We discuss all things finances for both parents, students, new grads and allied healthcare professionals. Topics such as rent, savings, retirement planning, budgeting with a child with special needs, effective ways to pay off student loans and investing are all discussed.

This week's guest is one of my absolute favourites Anna Dalziel, RSLP also known as Anna Dee SLP! Anna works primarily with 3-6 year olds with severe speech and language delays. Anna loves play based therapy, treating speech sound disorders, and working closely with families and school staff.
Find Anna's:
- Instagram
- FB Page
- Anna Dee SLP website and Anna's Communication Services website
- Teachers Pay Teachers page
We discuss late talkers, what SLPs assess other than word size in late talkers, pre-verbal skills, strategies to help late talkers and other kiddos in need of some SLP supports, how to differentiate between Autism and a late talker, and why Anna loves play-based therapy. We also talk about play milestones and how symbolic play relates to language development.
Note: Two things we want to emphasize is (1) make sure to always get a hearing test in addition to an SLP assessment and (2) most late talkers still have difficulties by age five and therefore they still require SLP intervention.
Click here for a helpful article on symbolic play and click here for the link for the research discussed below.
Research has shown us that Late Talkers (LT) follow one of these paths:- Between 20–30% of LT do not grow out of their language delay. These children have ongoing difficulties and need intervention to help them with their language and literacy skills. They may receive a diagnosis of language disorder.
- Between 70–80% of LT seem to catch up to their peers by the time they enter school. Sometimes these children are called “late bloomers” because they eventually seem to catch up to other children their age. When their “general language skills” are tested, they score in the average range, which might tell us not to worry anymore. But research tells us that these children still have difficulties that we should not ignore.
- LT who seem to catch up continue to have some weaknesses
- LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language and literacy skills
- While these differences might seem small, it means that LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language skills.
“Late bloomers” who seem to catch up actually show weaknesses in these areas:- Some language & literacy skills – these include vocabulary, grammar, phonology, reading, understanding and creating stories, writing, and listening comprehension. These subtle weaknesses can continue through adolescence
- Other skills that are related to language – these are skills that rely on language, such as social skills, behaviour, and executive function skills
- How the brain processes speech – researchers have studied 3 to 5-year olds who had a history of late talking, and noticed that they don’t process the speech they hear as easily as other children do. This means that they have immature or less developed speech processing skills, which can interfere with their progress with language and literacy development

Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion.
This podcast is based off of a talk by Dr. Mandy, a clinical psychologist who discussed ways in which to improve the recognition of females on the autism spectrum at an Autism Community Training (ACT) research conference in April 2018. At this talk Dr. Mandy discussed the history of autism, common myths about autism, the gender ratio in autism, and the female autism phenotype. I reference a blog post I wrote on this topic - to read the blog click here.
This specific podcast episode is a bite sized introduction into the popular topic of autism in girls and the improvement of the recognition of females on the autism spectrum. I discuss the reasons why females with autism are often under-diagnosed and some of the differences between females and males with autism.

This week's guest is Mark from Senso Minds. We discuss all things sensory! Although sensory processing disorder is not an official medical diagnosis a lot of children with special needs struggle in the sensory department. They could be hypersensitive or hyposensitive or potentially both at different times. Although I do refer to sensory processing challenges as "Sensory Processing Disorder" at times during the episode as I mentioned above, it is not an official medical diagnosis. That being said, if you are concerned about this then an Occupational Therapist (OT) would definitely be the expert in this area so it may be helpful to seek guidance and find out more information from an OT.
This podcast dives into some signs or symptoms of sensory processing challenges and what exactly sensory processing challenges means. We also discuss the mission behind Senso Minds, some of the products they have available and I review the popular topic of chewlery.

Happy Mother's Day! Today's guest is very special. Not only is she a retired public health nurse but she is also my mom. Welcome to the SLP Corner podcast, Mom (aka Erin). Erin has a breadth of experience as a public health nurse in various settings, from rural Ontario to Alberta to the Northwest Territories. One of her favourite aspects of public health nursing was parent counselling and teaching.
We discuss ideas parents can do at home to occupy young children in a stimulating way, positive parenting tips and tricks, and ways to navigate challenging behaviours. We dive into topics such as separating the deed from the doer and natural versus logical consequences.

Sometimes I come across a little tidbit that I like to call an SLP SNACK! It is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that I feel is interesting and worth a discussion.
This episode discusses what babbling is, the milestones associated with babbling and potential red flags. It also covers the FQ (Fun Quotient) which is from the ESDM (Early Start Denver Model) by Sally Rogers and Geraldine Dawson, more specifically, the ESDM’s parent guide, “An Early Start for Your Child with Autism” by Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson and Laurie Vismara.

This podcast is all about different types of learning styles and how to facilitate learning with each style. This is more relevant than ever since so many parents are now tasked with home schooling. When working with kids (or all people for that matter) learning styles is an important consideration. The Hanen program “More than Words” asserts that there are five types of learners (rote, gestalt, visual, hands-on, and auditory).

Dr. Lynn Kern Koegl discussed “Practical Ways to Decrease Challenging Behaviours in School, Home and Community Settings” at an Autism Community Training event last October 2018. In these videos, she discusses how disruptive behaviours are communicative and that all kids have them, not just children with autism or special needs.
This podcast discusses predictors of disruptive behaviour, motivating factors for disruptive behaviour and ways to diffuse and decrease disruptive behaviour.

Due to the current pandemic we are facing, many children are not receiving speech and language therapy. I was speaking with Mrs. Speechie P and we discussed the various ways speech and language can be facilitated at home with strictly home supplies - nothing fancy. Mrs. Speechie P brought up the great idea of using a box. I loved this idea because I am sure there are many boxes arriving into peoples homes right now from frantic amazon and Costco orders.
I discuss 6 activities you can do at home with any box to help facilitate and develop speech and language. These activities can be modified however you see fit to target the needs and goals of your specific child. Ensure turn taking is occurring during the activities and remember to model what you want to see in your child so they can have lots of examples. The activities discussed will each target instructions, prepositions, pretend play and speech.

This podcast discusses common SLP recommendations for developing children's speech and language. At the end of sessions or assessments, SLPs often give parents recommendations to help with their child’s speech and language development. The tips often differ depending on a specific diagnosis or disability so make sure to discuss with your own SLP about recommendations specifically for your child. However, these tips are very common and helpful, many of which come from the Hanen program and the Early Start Denver Model. To read more on SLP recommendations click here.

This podcast delves into what exactly a "late talker" is and explains why the "wait-and-see approach" is outdated and a risky way of navigating atypical patterns in children's speech and language development.
