You know, you you mentioned that speech pathologists likely have a richer understanding of the development of symbolic representation. podcast-host

And I I I do I do not. podcast-host

I've been a practicing speech pathologist for almost twenty years. podcast-host

Uh and I have to I'm like reflecting on my own education and I think, you know, again, I'm only speaking for myself, but it's making me ask the question how much formal training we actually do get in terms of the specific developmental sequence sp again, I'm gonna use the word specific again, specific to the development of symbolism. podcast-host

My education was about pre symbolic podcast-host

a handful of pre-symbolic cognitive milestones, like milestones in cognitive development, pre-nine months of age, but you know, uh the in the first year of life. podcast-host

But I am I can say with confidence in a very vulnerable moment that I I learned on the job just kind of working with podcast-host

Complex communicators podcast-host

how important delineating pre symbolic to post symbolic c just just categorizing and and making space for that delineation. podcast-host
