To skal der til

Juhuuu!
Jeg har lige været på mit første Hanen-kursus. Kurset, der på engelsk hedder It takes two to talk, er Hanens ‘grundkursus’, der gir adgang til alle organisationens andre kurser for logopæder.
Har for længe siden læst bogen To skal der til, så det er en kæmpe fornøjelse at høre om Hanens principper fra en rigtig Hanen-certificeret logopæd!

Running disorder

Sakset fra Cortenay Norburys blog Behind the scenes at SCALES (http://bit.ly/Qfuvh1):

“As the current debacle that is DSM-5 clearly illustrates, deciding what is and what is not a ‘disorder’ is not as straightforward as we would like it to be. To give you an idea of why this may be so, I thought I’d talk you through my own disorder – I have a significant running impairment. You may not have heard of Running Impairment (RI) before, but we can think about diagnosing RI in much the same way we need to think about diagnosing language impairment (see for example, the Great SLI Debate).

Børns sprogvanskeligheder

Det har for nyligt været fremme i dagspressen, at det ikke bare er to-sprogede eller socialt dårligt stillede børn, som har “sprogkvaler”. Hvem er de børn, som tilsyneladende “uden god grund” har sprogvanskeligheder? Ved vi noget om, hvad der karakteriserer dem, og hvad der eventuelt kan gøres for at forbedre deres sproglige færdigheder?

Gør øvelse mester?

Klippet fra: http://ideas.time.com/2012/01/25/the-myth-of-practice-makes-perfect/#ixzz1mRWs0mIG

How does deliberate practice work? A dutiful daily commitment to practice is not enough. Long hours of practice are not enough. And noodling around is definitely not enough. Deliberate practice requires effort and is not inherently enjoyable. The secret of deliberate practice? Relentlessly focusing on our weaknesses and inventing new ways to root them out. Results are carefully monitored, ideally with the help of a coach or teacher, and become grist for the next round of ruthless self-evaluation.

Parents as Speech Therapists

By Lauren Lowry
Hanen Certified Speech-Language Pathologist

Traditionally, speech therapy with preschoolers involved parents bringing their child to a speech-language pathologist at a clinic. After an assessment, if the speech-language pathologist recommended it, the parent would bring the child for regular speech therapy. In this case, the sessions would be conducted by the speech-language pathologist, who would use specific techniques and strategies to improve the child’s communication. The parent would sit and watch the therapy, either in the room or behind a 2-way mirror. After the session, the parent would be given activities to practice with the child at home.

Haarder opfordrer sosu’er til at starte firma

Indlæg på dr.tv (http://bit.ly/iCvgIy) fra d. 24. marts 2011:

»Regeringen vil hjælpe og opmuntre offentligt ansatte til at kappe båndet til kommunen og starte deres egne små, private firmaer i stedet. De nye selvstændige skal konkurrere med kommunen om at levere hjemmehjælp, udbringe mad, håndtere personlig pleje, plejehjemstilbud og alle mulige andre velfærdsopgaver. Indenrigs- og sundhedsminister Bertel Haarder lancerer i en tale i dag forslaget på Kommunernes Landsforenings årsmøde Aalborg.
