Dinalynn Rosenbush, SLP | Speech Pathologist, Parent Mentor, Communication with Kids

*** A Top 1.5% Podcast! *** Getting Kids to Listen, Speech Therapy, IEP, Communication with Kids, Parent Mentor, Family Connection Are you tired of repeating yourself with your children or wonder why they don’t listen? Are you afraid you are doing the wrong thing to help your kids communicate, but you are unsure what to do? Are you frustrated that your kids argue, whine or debate with you? Hey parents, you don’t need to stay overwhelmed, exhausted, and triggered by the fuss. In this podcast, you will find solutions to … get kids to listen better, build strong communication - even in the presence of a speech delay, and have boundaries that benefit kids. All while enhancing your relationships! My mission is to help puzzled, busy, worried parents read their child’s behavior as communication. When we understand what they are communicating, WE start to communicate differently! This is true of children with typical development, children in dual language homes, and children with delays. When Your Language allows for discovery, creativity, curiosity and exploration, connection is born. Connected kids are courageous and listen better. Connected kids have fewer meltdowns. Listen in to learn empowering strategies for teaching and listening! Hello, my name is Dinalynn Rosenbush, mom, grandma, Speech Language Pathologist of over 30 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech & language delays and navigated single parenthood. Through training and my own struggles, I learned to use specific language in specific ways that build connection. Our communication is not only our words, but it is the feeling our children have when we speak with them. Let’s create a home where exploration is welcomed, mistakes are stepping stones, and practice is expected. When kids believe you are on their team, eventually, they join your team! Because, what works for speech and language disabled children, simply works! I believe all parents should have access to these skills, not just specialists. It is my hope to give small nuggets of information in each episode to build your communication toolbox. So, if you are ready to build deep, meaningful connection AND create a more peaceful, productive and happy home. Listen in! Let’s interrupt the way you have been parenting. so that you CAN BECOME THE PARENT you WANT to be. I am glad you are here!

    242 Dr. Ben Miraglia: Sleep, Behavior & Speech Struggles? What Early Jaw Growth & Mouth Breathing Reveal

    Hey Friends~   What if mouth breathing isn’t just a habit… but a symptom? In today’s episode, I’m joined by a guest who revealed something I hadn’t fully understood in all my years in this field: crooked teeth, small jaws, restless behavior, trouble with focus, even lingering speech sound errors can ALL be connected to how well a child is BREATHING. You’ll hear how an under-developed airway affects far more than speech and behavior. When a child is mouth breathing, they don’t get  the deep, restorative sleep their growing brain desperately needs. And deep sleep and proper oxygenation, everything from attention to learning can suffer. And make sure you listen through to the end, as we have something special for you!! Podcast listeners get access to a free online airway evaluation - a simple way to find out whether breathing might be part of your child’s (or your own) challenges.  Also, if you are from MN, WI, or IA, you have an exclusive discount for in-person clinic visits. So, if mouth breathing, snoring, focus struggles, or stubborn speech sound issues feel familiar… this might be the insight you’ve been missing. If you or your child snores, mouth breathes, struggles with focus, wrestles with behavior, or has speech sound challenges, this might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.  There is help for adults, so the listener discounts and freebies work for YOU, too!  This episode might change everything for you and your child!!  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Dr. Ben Miraglia graduated from SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 1993. Dr. Miraglia is the VP of Clinical Education with CandidPro. He is the Chief Clinical Officer at Airway Health Solutions and Toothpillow. Dr. Miraglia is widely recognized for his lectures and continuing education courses focusing on clear aligner therapy and early craniofacial growth and development related to sleep disordered breathing.

    240 SERIES: Speech & Language Delays: Therapy & Intervention Options for Parents

    Hey Friends~  Today is the next in the SERIES: Speech & Language Delays, and  we’re diving into therapy and intervention options for parents - and looking closely at two main groups of kids. 1) The first group includes children who have been tested and qualify for speech therapy, but the help available just doesn’t feel like enough. and 2) The second group is often the largest - and sometimes the most frustrated. Maybe your child was tested but didn’t score low enough to qualify, or maybe you’ve never pursued testing, yet you know they’re struggling. You might be homeschooling, caring for a very young child, or waiting because others have said, “Let’s just give it time,” yet, deep down, you feel something more is needed.  If that resonates with you, you’re not alone, this episode is here to guide and encourage you. For parents in both groups, we’ll explore 6 practical, parent-led approaches to help your child make real progress, whether you’re working alongside a therapist or leading the learning yourself. I’m so glad you’re here!

    238 Dr. Bibi Pirayesh: How an Educational Therapist Helps Kids with Learning Differences Succeed

    Hey Friends~  Have you ever felt like your child is struggling, but not “enough” to qualify for help? They’re bright, they’re trying, but school still feels like a battle… What if the problem isn’t your child… but the system?  For decades, schools have measured every kid against one “ideal learner” or “the norm.”   But what happens when your child’s amazing brain learns differently? When your child struggles in school, the first instinct is often tutoring.  What if the issue isn’t the lesson - it’s the learning process itself?  Today, we’re unpacking  what educational therapy is and how it can change that story. So, if you've ever thought, “I know my child can do it, but something’s missing,” this conversation is for you! Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Dr. Pirayesh holds a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Education from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master's degree in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University where her work focused primarily on children’s development of mathematical thinking and cognitive neuroscience. She has worked as a learning specialist and educational therapist in private practice for over a decade.  While the emphasis of her work is on remediating learning disabilities in a one-on-one setting, she is also a sought after speaker and community advocate for children and families around learning rights. She works with children grades 1-12 and covers a wide range of learning difficulties including dyslexia, ADHD, and spectrum disorders. In 2020, Dr. Pirayesh launched The Difference is Not Deficit Project to help promote the importance of seeing learning disability as a social justice issue. In addition to her private practice and advocacy work, Dr. Pirayesh is also adjunct faculty at Pepperdine University and is involved with a number of service organizations including The Association of Educational Therapists.   CONTACT THE GUEST:   drbibi@oneofonekids.org https://www.oneofonekids.org/contact/ Flowchart for either tutor or educational therapist HERE NEW BOOK by Dr. Bibi: Difference Is Not Deficit: A Community Vision for Special Education   A BIG THANK YOU TO THE SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE!   Cindy Howard  Lightening Admin VA   cindy@lightningadminva.com   YOUR NEXT STEPS: 5 Ways To Get Your Kids To Listen Better: https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/7ca5ce43-d436ea91 Sign up for the Newsletter:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/newsletter-optin 21 Days of Encouragement:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/1-21signup To discuss working together:  https://calendly.com/hello-play/strategy-session For Workshops, Speaking Events, or Partnerships:  https://calendly.com/hello-play/discovery-session ** For Speaking Engagements, Workshops, or Parent Coaching (virtual or live), contact me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com   OTHER EPISODES YOU WILL LIKE:  237 SERIES: Speech & Language Delays: “My Child Did Not “Qualify” for Speech Therapy.
