Welcome! My name's Bryony and I’m a Speech and Language Therapist living on the Isle of Wight. Check out my website for details of group coaching, 1:1 therapy and online workshops.
I'm in limbo right now waiting for a response from a university. I can't wait to start and so hope the interview goes well! This video was so helpful and insightful. Thank you
Great video. Just one suggestion, maybe don't record audio over loud back noise (e.g. the wind) as it made it hard work to understand you. Otherwise one of the most watchable video shorts on the subject I've come across 👍
You say the child will learn that cool things happen when they keep their attention on the bucket, but cool things dont happen. Cool things come out the bucket, the kid doesnt get to play with them and then the cool things are quickly put away. From a childs point of view, what is the point of looking at a bucket of toys they aren't allowed to touch?????
I agree, being able to explore things is such a valuable part of learning! It's really a question of what your goal is at that moment. The 'bucket' activity is about building attention and listening, not opportunities for a child to explore the toy. The exploration and taking turns comes in Stage 2, which this brief video doesn't cover. Sounds like it's an activity that doesn't vibe with you and that's ok too.
I teach social skills. I frame it as, "if you want to have an impact on the reactions people have to you, this is how you can do it." I always make sure it sound like I'm giving them a tool they can choose to use if desired rather than telling them their way of doing things is inherently "wrong."
I would give him a little bit of notice 15, 10, 5 minutes ahead of time. "Pretty soon we will leave and get lunch." "Hey, would you rather eat sandwiches at home or pick up a burger for lunch?" Or, if errands are the next stop, talk about what you will buy at the grocery store.
You are amazing. I don't even need closed captions to follow what you are saying! Every other expert speaking about DLD drones in a monotone and I don't know what they said. Remember, DLD runs in families, so the parent might be having processing difficulty too.
I am autistic and have ADHD and feel social skills is part of safety and also I don't want to be hurting other peoples feelings by not having a filter. I also have to interact with others for survival and and I am glad that I have learnt a lot of these skills.

Hi. My son is autistic. He started speaking many words meaningfully like Cow, Dog, etc. but when I ask him what's this he never answers. This is happening from 3 the last 3-4 months. Can you please tell us what should we do? We already don't listen to his gesture requests.
Hi! There's so much I could say on this topic, it needs its own video. But, for now, two things: 1) I always encourage adults to 'Give, Not Quiz'. If you know the answer to the question, you don't need to ask it. At this young age, a focus on modelling without expectation is the best strategy for long-term success and supporting your child. 2) Always respond! If you child is gesturing a request, acknowledge and respond to this with a modelled word. Don't hold back and expect them to answer a question. It's so cool that your son has started speaking more words meaningfully. Remember to still value the variety of other ways he is communicating too. More on all of this in my book, coming out this winter. :)
There are certain types of people who naturally understand how to ask good questions. They typically have an outgoing personality and will understand that your tone, attitude and overall persona is much more helpful for asking good questions than consciously considering how to pose each question, because you need a listener at attention first. this could also lead to overthinking your question often. I think if there are those who are struggling a lot with figuring out how to keep children interested in what they have to say then teaching is probably not a good career for you. It will likely be very difficult. Spare the kids the frustration! 😬
This is the art of it: being able to have a natural engaging interaction, whilst also applying knowledge and theory to what you're doing. This stuff shouldn't be so hard that it gets in the way of your interaction.
Thanks for this video! I am wondering: How would you handle if a child/teenager expresses wanting to make more friends? Do you work on social skills in this sense?
Как круто, что нашла Ваш канал! Очень интересно! Я учу своего маленького ребенка разговаривать на двух языках, и поэтому сначала сама учу тему, подбирают предложения. Мне очень пригодятся Ваши наработки. 💕💕💕
This is cool! Your explanation was really easy to understand and you have such a nice voice. I'm an English teacher in Japan so I'm thinking I can incorporate something like this for my ESL students.
Hi.... My daughter is 3.5... mild autistic but has zero vocab... Struggles a lot n cries whole day entering into a meltdown. Pls guide me how to start for visuals with such a kid
On a personal level I have an underlying policy of emulation as required. Obey the rules of social interaction, understand where required the conventions you must obey. It's masking except without having to expend a stupid amount of energy in method acting but in principal it's often all that is required in the interest of personal advancement.As for the underlying abilities of the average person to understand much in the way of anything I deeply doubtful of. We live in a rather messed up society and being the other if you take one look at revealed preference is a good way to wind up in a death camp. I entirely agree with the spirit of your thesis as I understand it, but beware when it comes into contact with reality.
Yes! Personal pictures can be a really fun thing at many ages. You might want to pick just one or two pictures, rather than a sequence, to adjust this for your daughter's language level. Pay attention to what she finds interesting and, if in doubt, simplify,
My 25 month old is starting to say two words together. It’s not all the time but can you do a video to encourage her to do it more? She’s got tons of single words but only a few two word combinations. Thank you 😊
I live in an apartment building, and I usually encourage my child (8 yrs old) who is diagnosed with ADHD / ASD to talk to strangers in the lift when he is with me. I am doing this to help him understand social communication. However after watching your video, I'm questioning whether by putting him in this uncomfortable situation I may be making it more difficult for him. How do we understand the difference between pushing your child in difficult situations/scenarios to build resilience/skill, and pushing your child in the same situation, but ending up making them feel worse about themselves in the long run?
I appreciate all the comments here. Sometimes I feel like my daughter is the only one not talking at this age (21 months) but this makes me realize I’m not alone. ❤
We have 5 children. Ages 7, 5, and 3 for the oldest. The twins are about 19 months old, born 2 months early, but neither one speaks more than babbling dadadada. Neither one had much interest in walking or standing until recently when one of them has progressed further to standing short periods on her own. Both move around fine they just don't walk. The combination of mobility and speach delays makes me very apprehensive about their development. I do see progress but I worry each day that something is wrong. I hope your child and ours both eventually get there and find their voice.
This is it.. I have been doing this almost intuitively with a "nonverbal" 7yrs old for 3 days since working with him and we already have 3 functional words out of his mouth, copying my other words, and A LOT of belly laughter rolling on the floor together, a lot of eye contact, saying missing words of nursery rhymes when I "freeze" mid-song, a lot of yawning at the end of the day from him being so engaged, and a lot of pure exhilaration for me going home knowing I connected with that child.
I used Dr Oyalo herbs for my son and now my son is completely free, his speaking and behavior is ok. His herbs is 100% working on speech delay and ASD. I met Dr Oyalo on channel and I’m happy to share my experience about it
The bucket is a structured activity. Ready steady go is just a fun routine phrase you can use in all kinds of contexts. So yeah, you could totally use ready steady go with young children.
@@BryonyRust i see - what age and condition is bucket more suitable for? When child is older is it better to use- timer, motivating activity for them to pay attention?
A Stick in Nature ... I absolutely love sticks to play with ... The sound and smell of wood ... That was very cool exercises for children ... Thanks so much 🤠
This is fascinating. I am in Australia and I am about to start my speech pathology degree after I finished my nursing degree. I am so excited. Did you have to do a thesis in your degree. I have to do a thesis and get it published in a Journal excited and scared.
