How do our beliefs about “good” language shape the materials we use in therapy—especially children’s books?
Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, welcomes back Dr. Brea-Spahn, PhD, CCC-SLP, for a follow-up conversation exploring the ideologies that influence how we perceive language and disability. Together, they examine how these beliefs show up in the books we share with children and the subtle ways they can reinforce language norms.
You’ll leave with practical ways to be more intentional in your material selection and to foster meaningful, affirming conversations with children about language, difference, and identity.
