Just plump, dewy, hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline New York. Maybe it's Maybelline.
Hey there, it's Debbie. Today's episode is a special re-release of a favorite conversation from the archives. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one before. And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it this time around.
From a developmental point of view, the developmental lens that we now look at is We're much more interested in the nonverbal piece, the social gaze, the referencing, the use of gestures, the use of emotional tone. Those are the foundations for communication that need to be in place for social pragmatics to be able to unfold in a warm, interactive environment.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. My name is Debbie Reber, and I'm the host of this show. And my guest today is Sherry Kahn, a speech-language pathologist who has specialized in the assessment and treatment of infants, toddlers, and school-aged children with developmental challenges for over 38 years. Sherry has incredible experience and also a bird's eye view of the field and how it has evolved in the past several decades. She's also a leading practitioner of the DIR floor time model in speech and language development, having trained extensively with Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Wider, and trains other professionals throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia on the theoretical and clinical concepts of DIR floor time.
In our conversation today, Sherry shares a wealth of knowledge about communication disorders. We cover everything from the different ways the communication disorders show up and what speech-language pathology is, to what types of issues speech-language pathologists support children with, and what signs might be indicators to parents that their child could benefit from working with one. And now here is my conversation with Sherry. Hey,
Sherry, welcome to the podcast. Thank you, Debbie. I've been looking forward to a meeting with you.
I'm looking forward to this conversation. You're the first speech language pathologist that we've had on the show. I think there's a lot that we can cover today. And I'm just looking forward to sharing your expertise. So to get started, I always love to just ask guests to introduce themselves. So if you could tell us a little bit about you and what you do in the world, that would be great.
Of course. Well, you just heard Debbie introduce me as Sherry Kahn. I'm a practicing speech-language pathologist. I am going to say this quietly, but this month I start my 50th year as a speech pathologist. And people always ask me, is there a reason you haven't retired? And I think the reason would be is that I still love the work. And there's new innovations and strategies and clinical thinking that that still makes my socks go up and down and I'm on a mission to train as many clinicians and families to think in a more developmentally-minded way as more children become evaluated and we learn more about different learning styles. As experts in communication, we need to be up-to-date and flexible in our thinking of how to help support young children, young, young children, as well as school-age children, adolescents, and on to adulthood.
I have two clinics. I live in the Chicagoland area. I have one in the suburbs of Northbrook, Illinois, and I have a multidisciplinary clinic where we work with children looking through different developmental lenses. And I also have an office in the city of Chicago in the Lincoln Park area. I've been lucky enough to work in public schools, work in the private sector, work in a clinical setting, and have studied and been mentored by some of the best
