    The 3 Freedoms of Child-Led Play with Nicole Casey

    Register for the FREE Play Conference here:  https://nicolec24--otholly.thrivecart.com/2025/   In this episode, Nicole Casey discusses the significance of child-led play in supporting autistic children. She differentiates between child-led and play-based therapy, emphasizing the importance of intrinsic motivation and the child's experience. Nicole introduces the concept of the 'three freedoms' of play: the freedom to choose, change, and end, and how these principles can enhance therapeutic practices. She also shares practical strategies for identifying children's interests and fostering meaningful engagement through play. Takeaways Child-led play focuses on the child's interests and motivations. Play-based therapy is often misrepresented as simply having toys available. The three freedoms of play are essential: to choose, change, and end. Intrinsic motivation is crucial for genuine play experiences. Play should not be dictated by adult expectations or structures. Understanding a child's unique play style is vital for effective support. All play is valid, regardless of how it looks to adults. Therapists should adapt their approaches to honor the child's experience. Engagement in play can reveal deeper interests and motivations. Redefining play can lead to more meaningful interactions with autistic children. To Download the 3 Freedoms Visual and other helpful freebies, visit: https://www.childled.org/the-freebie-vault

    In this episode, Jamie Burch, a neurodiversity affirming speech language pathologist, discusses the importance of understanding the double empathy problem in supporting autistic individuals.

The episode highlights the significance of listening to autistic voices and the role of parents and educators in fostering an inclusive environment. Key Takeaways: Understanding the double empathy problem is crucial for effective communication. Community engagement can help bridge the gap in understanding autism. Masking can be harmful.

    Playtime with Tor: A Youtube Channel for GLPs by Victoria Matkowski, SLP

    In this episode of the Great Language Partner podcast, Tor, a pediatric SLP, shares her journey in creating the YouTube channel 'Playtime with Tor,' which focuses on supporting Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs). The conversation delves into the differences between analytic and gestalt language processing, the importance of modeling language, and the strategies used in her videos to effectively engage GLPs. The hosts discuss the significance of songs in language development, the nuances of language modeling, and the need for repetition and emotional language. Tor encourages parents to embrace singing as a tool for communication and shares resources available for further support. Takeaways: Tor has been a pediatric SLP for 13 years and created 'Playtime with Tor' to support GLPs. The channel was inspired by the need for content tailored to Gestalt Language Processors. Modeling phrases rather than single words is crucial for GLPs. Songs are an effective way to engage GLPs and support language development. Repetition and redundancy in language modeling help children retain language. Emotional language and intonation are important for GLPs. Fill-in-the-blank strategies can create prompt dependency if overused. Every child is unique, and strategies should be tailored to individual needs. Parents are encouraged to sing and incorporate songs into routines.   To Connect with Tor:  Tor's Website: playtimewithtor.co Newsletter sign up to gain access to free resource library: https://playtimewithtor.co/newsletter-sign-up Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/playtimewithtor?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Youtube: https://youtube.com/@playtimewithtor?si=W7LGLJX2r-cROlto   To learn more about gestalt language processing, as well as access Nicole and Katja's resources, courses, and more, visit our websites: www.greatlanguagepartner.com https://www.bohospeechie.net/ The Great Language Partner Workbook is here! Learn more here!  Use code PODCAST at checkout for a discount!
