About Speech and Language Kids Podcast

This podcast is for SLPs, Caregivers, and Educators supporting neurodiverse children and teens who want practical, respectful, and effective ways to build communication skills. Our approach supports children with all neuro-differences, including speech/language differences, learning differences, ADHD, Autism, developmental disorders, and more! Each episode blends neurodiversity-affirming approaches with evidence-based speech and language therapy strategies, covering topics like speech sound disorders, language development, AAC, gestalt language processing, executive functioning, social communication, and more. You'll hear actionable ideas you can use right away—whether you're planning therapy sessions, supporting a child at home, or navigating the school system. We believe children aren't broken—they need better supports. This show focuses on strength-based, child-centered practices that honor individuality while helping kids communicate more confidently and independently. If you're looking for speech therapy tips, language development strategies, support for neurodivergent learners, and realistic ways to make therapy simpler and more effective, you're in the right place.

   Cycles Approach Made Easy - Carrie's Simplified Version of the Cycles Approach for Phonology

   Are you working with a child who has A LOT of speech errors? Then you're going to love the Cycles Approach to Phonology. Instead of working on one sound at a time, you cycle through many sounds to help them make faster progress with their intelligibility. But this program can be a bit overwhelming to try to implement at first. In this episode of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast, I'm giving you a simplified version of the program that you can use in therapy today. Listen to my simplified walkthrough and then go grab the free screener at www.SpeechAndLanguageKids.com/cycles (http://www.SpeechAndLanguageKids.com/cycles)
