Podcast 11: Justin Roberts promotes hearing health in children 11:29 29/08/2008 Interviews with people making news in the professions of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

Justin Robers promotes the safety of personal audio devices.

I think that this is very important, by showing that there are "cool" people that are concerned about those with hearing and speech communication problems. This has become a topic of interest to me through my EPSY class on communication disorders; a very interesting topic, very broad.


Podcast 13: The Value of Early Intervention for Late Talking Children 12:42 14/10/2008 Speech-language pathologist Rhea Paul and child psychologist Leslie Rescorla discuss recent research on the persistence of language weaknesses at age 17 years in late talking children. Principles of early intervention from ASHA’s recent policy documents are highlighted.

This is my educational podcast. Leslie talks about how students who are slow to talk, sometime will not need help with a language disorder, just maybe different language skills than those who did not have issues with language development at an early age. Very interesting podcast from ASHA.
