00:01:58 Brittany: Hello, thanks a lot for having me.
00:02:00 Hallie: Inform everybody listening, they could have heard of On a regular basis Speech, however they won’t have heard of you. So inform everybody listening just a little bit about you and On a regular basis Speech and what you guys are doing lately.
00:02:11 Brittany: Yeah, positive. I am a speech language pathologist by my background and I based On a regular basis Speech, I am unable to imagine it, 13 years in the past at this level. So I used to be working within the faculty. I used to be doing an increasing number of social expertise teams. I used to be working with excessive schoolers. I simply… I feel traditional story of I could not discover the supplies that I wanted and that my college students had been going to seek out enjoyable and interesting. So I assumed, what if I simply created them? In order that’s the place we began.
00:02:36 Brittany: We now have a social expertise curricula. And primarily it is video based mostly. So we use video modeling and evidence-based follow as form of the inspiration of the curricula. After which, as a result of it has been so a few years now we have constructed up the platform, it is movies, it is video games, it is worksheets. We would like it to be actually no prep and simply have every little thing that you may ever need and wish to your social expertise teams. After which we even expanded to create help for all tiers. So we’ve got a tier one entire class classes for counselors, social employees, anybody getting in and doing extra of the social emotional basis work. So… yeah, we’re busy, busy. We’re at all times including extra supplies each month of the college yr. So yeah, simply ensuring everybody has all of the assets they want.
00:03:15 Hallie: I like that. It is so superior. I can completely relate to not having the supplies you wanted. So making it occur. I like that discovering a necessity, discovering a spot within the assets for SLPs and making it occur and bringing one thing to life. So in the event you guys have not seen our posts or emails about our coaching, it is all about engaged on bullying in speech. As a result of we all know bullying occurs in faculties, however I need to know from you, Brittany, and your ideas, what’s one thing that almost all SLPs do not understand about the way it may present up in our classes or the way it may apply to us?
00:03:54 Brittany: Yeah, completely. Properly, I feel simply what we might all form of perceive and pondering again is simply form of the vanity piece. And I felt like once I was working within the faculties, I used to be just a little bit stunned simply by like so carefully my working relationship needed to be with the advisors, the adjustment counselors, the college psych. I really feel like I used to be fortunate that we actually may very well be hand in hand. And I really cut up all of my social expertise teams with the college psych. And so we actually had been simply… I really feel like we had been working hand in hand and I discovered a ton too, I feel nearly easy methods to present that emotional help. So I feel that is one thing that once more, like that hit to the self-worth can present up in several methods and simply ensuring that you just’re at all times, yeah, you are like in lockstep with the complete workforce. I feel that is one thing that is tremendous, tremendous useful too to be interested by.
00:04:41 Hallie: I like that as a result of I do know once I determined to work within the faculties, that was one of many the explanation why I beloved it as a result of it wasn’t us on a island by ourselves. It truly is a workforce strategy. Prefer it’s not simply once we’re sitting on the IEP desk, it’s actually all of the individuals working with that pupil. And folks suppose to go to the counselor first in the case of bullying and issues like that. However what possibly may SLPs be stunned to listen to like, what’s our function?
00:05:07 Brittany: Completely. Yeah. And one thing that we have constructed out in our lesson models, I might say we put plenty of effort within the final three years is constructing out our self-advocacy models and simply ensuring that as a result of we’re actually… we may also help college students discover that voice and provides them these sturdy foundational expertise of speaking, interested by the several types of communication and the occasions that you will need to be extra assertive, easy methods to arise for your self, easy methods to have the phrases to for all of… asking for assist. Who do you go to for assist? I imply, that’s simply pure fundamental communication expertise.
00:05:38 Hallie: I like that. We have seen many college students in our careers thrive as soon as they construct that social communication and confidence. What’s one shift that SLPs can use to vary the best way they strategy bullying or self-advocacy of their speech room at present earlier than they even get to our coaching session subsequent week to allow them to see that fast win and notice that it’s their function and so they could make such a distinction with their college students.
00:06:05 Brittany: Yeah, completely. Properly, once more, I feel having the fashions and so whether or not it is a peer mannequin, whether or not it is a video mannequin, that’s simply one thing that – once more, once I take into consideration a fast win, like once I noticed that really was the shift for me and my college students and why I used to be like, there’s a lot energy in video right here as a result of that is once I noticed it. I imply, it was so fast. It was evening and day. I felt like there have been issues that we had been engaged on for weeks at a time and it simply wasn’t clicking. However when I discovered a video and even simply made just a little video with my iPad, that is what I ended up doing plenty of the time. And simply having that, it simply clicked.
00:06:38 Brittany: And I feel it is sensible. We all know visible instruments have been, they’ve such an affect on our college students. So I feel the visuals paired with video, that is simply one thing that it is… the positive factors come so shortly. And I feel that is one thing that might actually assist, once more, in modeling these expertise that you just wanna construct round advocacy and constructing confidence.
00:06:57 Hallie: And one thing that I resonate with you a lot is I like utilizing YouTube movies and movies in my speech room for engaged on any ability. And it is humorous that this week alone, I used to be watching a TV present with my seven-year-old and the idea of bullying really occurred to return throughout and she or he goes… and she or he requested me a few state of affairs that occurred at recess. And he or she goes, it was identical to that. And I am like, yeah. Like she did not put the phrase bullying to that state of affairs till she noticed the episode of it taking place to another person and it was labeled that. Like they do not have that vocabulary and that pairing and it actually helps to see it amongst another person to then acknowledge it when it is taking place to them.
00:07:38 Brittany: Sure, completely. So yeah, these fashions of the eventualities too, I feel particularly for teenagers and bullying, I feel it might probably get just a little difficult. I do know even with my 5 yr previous, I am having a extremely robust time proper now having him simply making an attempt to grasp properly, what’s completely different about possibly I’ve identical to a tricky interplay with a child and we’re not getting alongside or we’re having a playground dispute. And what’s the distinction between that and bullying?
00:08:04 Brittany: So I feel the extra you possibly can present the completely different eventualities. I like simply habits mapping and modeling out and even simply writing it out on a whiteboard of like, okay, that is the state of affairs. Is it bullying? Like let’s do the guidelines. Like, is it taking place repeatedly? Is it over time? Is there the intention to remove energy from a child? So identical to you actually making that distinction tremendous clear, I feel is simply actually useful. As a result of once more, I feel it may be very difficult between what’s teasing, what’s bullying.
00:08:34 Hallie: I had that very same dialog. I used to be like, what was taking place to you was really not bullying. However sure, it might need occurred so much. But additionally, it is your interpretation of what was occurring, not likely what was occurring. However did you might have any aha moments or success tales with your individual college students in your profession? Like if you had some dialogues and interactions with college students in these eventualities?
00:08:56 Brittany: Yeah, completely. I imply, any time that I discovered college students had been taking the language that I used to be utilizing after which they had been utilizing it in their very own life, that for me is the most important aha as a result of I really feel like they’ve actually internalized it. And among the finest tales I can suppose again of is on the conferences with dad and mom of simply the dad and mom saying, they’re now educating me. I keep in mind I had a pupil who was form of going across the desk at time for dinner and telling the dad and mom and their very own siblings, I am like, oh, properly, you did not use your dialog stoppers proper now, otherwise you’re not utilizing Assume It or Say It. And so possibly that is one thing you actually ought to have simply saved in your head and never mentioned.
00:09:36 Brittany: And in order that’s why I really feel like once they can take these ideas and both train another person or simply use them in their very own approach, if youngsters are saying, I used my self-controller at present, that simply to me, it is so highly effective and I feel actually simply exhibits how useful that shared language might be.
00:09:50 Hallie: Love that. And I feel, you realize, not solely ought to college students know that they’ll at all times come to us and that we may also help them, it was actually necessary for us to advocate ourselves to the opposite educators within the constructing and directors that we must be included when our college students are in conditions. I am going to always remember, I used to be going to the toilet and thank God my bladder needed to go at that actual second. As a result of I occurred to see certainly one of my college students within the assistant principal’s workplace. And he occurred to have a state of affairs on the playground.
00:10:24 Hallie: He occurred to be a stutterer and he was asking to go to the toilet and a colleague that wasn’t conscious of his difficulties may’ve mentioned some issues that was not acceptable. And granted they had been bringing the advisors to assist him, however I used to be like, nobody thought to carry me into this case. And ensuring that folks know that like, we must be introduced into that dialog when issues occur to our college students and we are able to help in these conditions.
00:10:54 Brittany: Yeah, completely. That is so necessary too. Yeah. That is one other factor. I feel once more, identical to being in lockstep together with your teammates, the complete workforce and simply ensuring – yeah. I really feel like I went out of my solution to simply make the rounds and simply guarantee that I may very well be a part of… carry me in. Please do not hesitate. I might simply go I really feel like at lunchtime and do checks and simply do, with my college students that I knew wanted that additional help. I am simply gonna take it upon myself to do these checks and verify in and guarantee that I am getting the updates for every little thing. As a result of yeah, I do suppose there’s so many little moments like that that we might be useful in supporting.
00:11:29 Hallie: If an SLP is listening proper now and is pondering, I wanna assist my college students with this, however I do not even know the place to begin, what’s one thing they’re gonna stroll away from from our free coaching subsequent week?

In order that I at all times need to be sure that when we’ve got our month-to-month webinars that folks have that. That was my largest takeaway once I went to PD.
