Our goal is to make sure SLPs can stay up-to-date with the current evidence without having to spend HOURS scouring journals & reading research papers.
We scout over 300 journals monthly, and hundreds more throughout the year so we can find you the current clinical takeaways.

It seems that although many children are on our caseloads for multiple periods of treatment/therapy (targeting various areas) research tends to focus on effectiveness of individual blocks/methods but not on the accumulation of these & effects of spacing between 'therapy blocks.'
Can anyone suggest a reference/evidence that indicates whether or not consolidation time between therapy “blocks” is beneficial, for any paediatric slt client group? *To provide rolling therapy at the cost of those on the waiting list or not…?* #SLTchat
discussion notes “the SLI children benefitted significantly from distributed training” (breaks rather than massed). “..results from the analyses are consistent with previous findings in the literature.” Multiple closely spaced sxs especially benefits leaning in toddlers w SLI.

Continued…Spacing effect was greater & more sig. than no. Of sessions: “e.g. performance after 12 sessions in the widely spaced training regimen was better than the performance after 18 sessions in the massed training regimen.”

Really interesting and relevant website - recommending support for autistic people written by an autistic person. Promising to see so many common links to the SCERTS approach #neurodiversity #inclusion
I've launched a website! autisticslt.com/
You'll find heaps of links to #autism research / works from #SLTs, #OTs, advocates and autistic researchers. Learn how to adapt your clinical practice that respects autistic children and allows them to be their authentic selves
