Hey everybody, this is Keri Clark and you are listening to the Speech and Language Kids Podcast, episode number 11. This is the podcast with activities and resources for families of children with speech and language delays and disorders. Today, I'm going to give you an overview of stuttering. And in the quick tip, I'll tell you about a website you can take your children to that has kid-friendly information about stuttering. First, though, I'd like to start with some news and updates. I would like to announce my first e-book. Some of you know that I've been collecting information from my readers about what kinds of information they would like in an e-book, and I am happy to announce that I have a plan.
The plan of action is that it is going to be a step-by-step guide to teaching a variety of speech and language skills. I think right now I have about 50 different skills that I'm working on creating these guides to, and they're all going to come together in the one e-book.
So there's going to be worksheets and activities for each step of the skill. So for example, let's say you need to teach your child where questions. So you would get out the book and you would go to the where questions and there's a five step process on how to teach where questions. So each step of that process is going to have a worksheet that has ideas of activities of how you can do it and explains the process. There's also going to be video demonstrations for each step within the page. And then behind that is going to be worksheets that you can do at home. Or if you're a speech pathologist, then you can send out those worksheets home for your students so they can work on them at home as well. All of this is going to be written by me, an SLP, for parents to understand.
So it's going to be good for a speech language pathologist who's needing some ideas for their their clients or it's also going to be great for parents as well it'll also be good if you want to send this information home if you're an slp send it home with the parents because they're going to understand exactly what you're doing as well There's also going to be information on goal writing and data collection for speech language pathologists. And then for parents, there's also going to be guides on where to start and which activities to try. I've gotten a lot of feedback about how that's sometimes the hardest part is just where do I start? There's so much to work on. So all that's going to be included.
I'd love to know what you think about the idea. See if there's anything else that you'd like me to include in that. Right now I'm still in the planning phase, so now's the time to get in and let me know what you think. Give me your feedback at speechandlanguagekids at gmail.com. Send me an email over there and let me know what you think. Also, be watching for the pre-release.
What is the upcoming e‑book and what will it include for parents and SLPs?
That should be happening sometime in the next month, hopefully. With the pre-release, you'll get the book at a discounted rate. You'll also get some freebies, some extra games and stuff that I haven't published yet. And you'll get to be on the advisory panel, which would mean that you get to have feedback about how the book is developed and what kinds of things you would like to see in there. All in all, I think it's going to be a really fabulous e-book. It really responds to a lot of the emails I got of what people are looking for and what people need right now. So hopefully it'll meet your needs as well as I'm hoping it will. But please let me know what you think. Give me some feedback, speechandlanguagekids at gmail.com.
All right, we're going to go ahead and move into our feature segment for today, which is what is stuttering? So just to define it, stuttering is defined as the flow of speech that is broken by repetitions like this, prolongations like this, or abnormal stoppages, which is when there's no sound, abnormal stoppages of sound and syllables. There also may be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak. And that is from stutteringhelp.org if you're looking for more information about stuttering from them.
