Posted @withrepost • @hunger4words Last night, right before this video was taken, I accidentally said “ball” on Stella’s device while I was actually reaching for a different word. But, Stella took this very seriously! She picked up her ball, dropped it on her device, and said “Good” (Translation: Good idea, Mom!) • I started recording right after she said “Good” and caught the rest of her thought: “Happy ball want outside!” • Like all AAC users, Stella thrives when we talk to her using her device and say words that she loves. She never needs to know it was on accident! 😉 • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lF9efjGxL/?igshid=1nxhxrz1su6hv

Teaching turn is one of my FAVORITE lessons! We always teach the students “my turn” and “your turn” so they pretty much have that mastered but teaching them other meanings of turn and how to use it has been a lot of fun. Using another Speech Room News packet of course I targeted turn with the book and worksheet and discussed things we can turn on and off. I typically like to teach turn right after I taught the core words “on” and “off” and try to have them create two-word utterances. I also have them use the UFO toy to practice turning it and have them turn the umbrella when we play “Fizzy Dizzy Hippo.” However, my favorite activity has been using my Amazon Alexa when targeting “turn.” I have the students take turns giving Alexa commands to turn the lights on and off and turn a song on and off. They love all these activities and had such great success with creating the two-word utterances.

[muffled] the contract has been sealed.

this is talos!! s a bit of an old image bc its been Forever since ive drawn her but yall get the gist;; theyre a mundie engineer who is Very Good at what they do. they actually used to be a worker bee, but moved on to work on their skills more on the tech side! theyre still in touch, but talos is more or less independent now :3c they use their little chicken robots (lovingly dubbed chickbots) as weapons if a scuffle ever breaks out, though theyre honestly entirely capable of hand to hand combat. or just, yknow. throwing a dodgeball sized robot at your face at full speed. that works too. theyre pretty sensible and analytical, but of course, arent immune to a little tomfoolery. if youve ever seen that gifset of those Really Bad Assistant Robots, youll p much get what talos does for fun. yknow, fucking around is just a few written documents away from being science, and all that. and also i love them so so much.

Not to go into crackship territory, but I was thinking about post Anime Campaign, and how Sylvie probably got Guile and Rick to hang out with him at the same time because they’re his best friends and they probably became best friends also because Rick insisted.

What I’m getting at is: Rick is nice to Guile and doesn’t judge him for his epithet and Guile developes a crush on him.

What happens next is open to discussion. Did Guile never confess? (Likely). Did Sylvie find out and prompt Guile to confess? Did Sylvie find out but promise not to tell, but then Rick confided that he also was crushing on Guile so Sylvie prompted him to confess? (I think it’s most likely that Guile, being pretty hard to read, was never picked on and he just never confessed because he’s scared to fall in love because of his epithet but yeah).

Idk, this is probably crackship, but I mean, Rick did call Guile cute in episode 4. That probably means nothing though because it was a joke. Still...

I mostly just want this out here. @coreword-clumsy opinions?

Also family AU Sylvie being like “You have a crush on my brother???” Lol.

Incrível: esse cachorro aprendeu a “falar” por meio de botões com som

Já foi comprovado que a ligação entre um cachorro e seu dono pode ser comparada ao de mãe/pai com os filhos. Não é atoa que eles são considerados os melhores amigos do homem. Mesmo que um dos lados não saiba falar, ambos conseguem se comunicar e entender o que o outro quer dizer. Mas e se o doguinho aprendesse a falar?

Foi o que aconteceu nos Estados Unidos, com a cachorrinha Stella, que aprendeu a “falar” frases complexas com até 5 palavras:

Stella uses language differently when she’s in a heightened state versus when she’s calm! • Today when she heard some noises outside and wanted to go investigate, I told her we were staying inside. • Stella responded by saying, “Look” 9 TIMES IN A ROW, then “Come outside.” She was clearly in a more frantic state, and her language use matched that. We all sound differently than normal when we’re in distress, Stella included! • I’m impressed that Stella is communicating with language during her more heightened states, not just when she’s calm and in a quiet space. This shows me that words are becoming more automatic for her to use. It’s similar to when a toddler starts using language to express himself during times of frustration instead of only crying. That happens when it’s easy for the toddler to say words, not when he’s still learning and it takes a lot of focus to talk • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #guarddog #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals

Isso porque sua tutora, Christina Hunger, é uma fonoaudióloga especialista em Comunicação Aumentativa e Alternativa (CAA). Essa é uma técnica voltada para pessoas que não conseguem utilizar a linguagem verbal para se comunicar, como crianças muito novas ou pessoas com determinados problemas, que desenvolve formas para auxiliar esse processo através de outras formas, como gestos, olhares, símbolos, imagens, sinais etc.

Uma das ferramentas que a fonoaudióloga utiliza com seus pacientes (de 1 e 2 anos, que estão aprendendo a se comunicar) é uma placa de som personalizada. Ela possui botões que permitem Hunger predefinir palavras, que auxiliam na comunicação de seus pacientes.

Funciona da seguinte forma: mesmo que uma criança, por exemplo, ainda não saiba formar sentenças verbais, como os adultos, ela consegue expressar o que quer/sente no momento, ao apertar um dos botões que emite um sinal sonoro com uma palavra pré-definida.

E foi através desse trabalho que a história do cachorro que aprendeu a falar começou.

I AM MIND BLOWN Last night after coming inside, Stella said “Come eat come play.” I was pretty sure she meant that she wanted to eat dinner then play, but I asked, “Do you want to eat or play?” to clarify. • Stella licked her lips, paused, and responded, “Want come eat.” After Stella ate, she immediately dove at her toy and started playing. • AHHH! This is amazing for so many reasons! Stella told me a sequence of two things she wanted to do. Then, I asked her a question containing two options, and she answered with a short phrase confirming her original message! Stella even expanded her own phrase from “Come eat ” to “Want come eat.” The speech therapist side of me is completely amazed, and the dog mom side of me is incredibly proud. Yay, Stella!! • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #proud #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals

No exemplo acima, Stella fala para sua dona que quer comer e brincar, ao mesmo tempo. A fonoaudióloga questiona à cachorrinha se ela quer brincar ou comer. Depois de um tempo pensando, Stella aperta os botões “Want” (quero) “Come” (vamos) e “Eat” (comer).

Em seu perfil no Instagram e em um blog, Christina costuma postar o progresso que Stella vêm tendo. Em uma dessas postagens, a fonoaudióloga conta os três passos que seguiu para que seu amigo de estimação conseguisse aprender palavras, para posteriormente saber usa-las, no momento certo, em sua placa de som personalizada.

Os 3 passos para seu cachorro aprender a “falar”

1. Fale MUITO com o seu doguinho!

O primeiro deles pode até parecer bobo, mas não é. Como um bebê, que ainda está na fase de aprendizado, os cachorros também podem ter a capacidade de aprender palavras ao escutarem seres humanos falando. Frases curtas, simples e repetitivas.

De acordo com Hunger, esse foi o método que utilizou para que Stella conseguisse associar determinado acontecimento ou ação, como comer ou passear, à uma palavra.

“Ensinando a palavra comer:

Stella, hora de comer. Vamos pegar sua comida. Pronto para comer? Comer, comer, Comer! A Stella come.

Ensinar a palavra andar:

Stella, quer dar um passeio? Sim? Vamos! Stella e Christina vão passear! Ande, ande, ande.”

2. Observe as SUAS palavras

Observar e absorver. O passo seguinte foi observar quais as palavras ela mais utilizava com a cachorra, e que mais geravam uma reação positiva de aprendizagem. Para isso, ela criou um gráfico onde descrevia o que estava acontece e quais palavras ela mais repetia no dia a dia junto de Stella.

Um exemplo, que serviu de base para a terceira etapa do processo, está disponível aqui (em inglês). Ao analisar a lista, as palavras mais repetidas para determinada ação e as reações da cadelinha, Hunger conseguia saber qual palavra deveria determinar à Stella para cada momento.

Hunger for words

3. USE os botões do seu cachorro

O passo seguinte foi programar os botões com cada palavra que expressava uma ação ou sentimento. Eles foram programados a partir do tempo de conversa com Stella, das anotações e do entendimento de qual palavra o cachorro entendia para determinada ação.

Assim como o processo com crianças, ela deixou seu cachorro livre. Em momento algum levou a pata do mesmo até algum botão, ou forçou isso. Segundo Hunger, é um dos principais passos para o avanço, não pular etapas:

“Toda vez que você está dizendo uma palavra ao seu cão para a qual ele tem um botão, você deve dizer isso verbalmente e com o botão dele. Isso (…) é uma das estratégias mais importantes para o ensino de idiomas com a Comunicação Aumentativa e Alternativa (CAA).”

A rotina de aprendizados

No inicio, a fonoaudióloga distribuiu os botões por cantos variados da casa, onde seria possível que Stella apertasse e, através do som, fosse possível saber que ela queria sair para fora, ou comer, por exemplo. No entanto, com o passar do tempo, e quanto mais palavras o cachorro aprendia, Hunger decidiu colocar todos os botões com as palavras em um só lugar.

Hunger for words

Assim, seria mais fácil para Stella aprender e memorizar onde estava cada botão, e o que ele representava, como um teclado de computador. Assim como nós temos a capacidade de saber onde está cada tecla do teclado, a cachorrinha conseguiu memorizar onde estava cada botão, e o que ele queria dizer.

Hoje Stella já conhece cerca de 29 palavras (continua aprendendo novas), e consegue utiliza-las em sua placa de som, unindo até cinco em uma frase complexa para expressar alguma ação ou sentimento.

Woman Creates a Soundboard to Communicate with Her Dog

A speech pathologist in San Diego named Christina Hunger created a soundboard that helps her communicate with her dog.  The board is on the floor and it has over 20 “sound buttons” that the dog can step on to let her know what it wants.

The dog tells her when she wants to eat, go outside, take a nap . . . things like that.  Christina says the dog knows at least 29 words, and even combines up to five words at a time to make a phrase or sentence.

The Hunger4Words Instagram page has several clips of the dog “talking” to her.  (People)

Stella adapts her message when she isn’t feeling understood, just like we all do! If someone doesn’t understand us or we don’t get the response we were expecting, we change the words we’re using to explain ourselves better. • Watch this sequence of Stella telling us, three different ways in a row, that she wanted to go play! • First, Stella said “Come play.” When we didn’t come play, she added more details and said, “Outside play love you.” Finally, she got as specific as she could and told us, “Park.” Stella is truly a great communicator! • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals

Is Your Team Distracted? Use Task Shedding to Get Back on Track

Is your team distracted? Get back on track with clear communication and task shedding

A few years back we worked with a terrific sales team. Being millennials, they used live messaging for everything, sharing new leads and information, giving each other encouragement and congratulations—a stream of positive reinforcement and a constant flow of shared information. Yet when they sat back and looked at what was happening, they realized the cost of that interaction may have outweighed the positives. Yes, the new information was coming ‘live’, but was it distracting them from their immediate task? Yes, they were responding to each other and changing their course in real time, but was all the information relevant and clear? And was it thoughtful or reactive, helpful or unnecessary?

Keep communication and minds on mission

There are times for chewing the fat, and teams love them. But not when everyone’s under pressure to perform. When there’s a lot going on, a lot of it uncertain, you can’t afford long rambles and you can’t afford short statements that are unclear. Clear, concise statements also help you and those around you to keep focus. Ramble on, and people switch off. No matter how important your message, it won’t be heard. And you may be taking up the time or phone line for more critical stuff.

Everything has to be clear, concise and certain. That’s especially the case when people are tired or under stress. The other challenge is that as much as 80 percent of human communication is nonverbal: the tone, gestures, body position, and facial expressions. That’s the value of a face-to-face meeting, or being in each other’s line of sight when you’re on an operation. So if you don’t have those visual clues, you really need to get the tone and words right, over the phone or on the page.

There are some clear rules that can help keep your communication and minds on mission.

 Work with hard data, not assumptions. When task saturation is hitting you, it’s amazing how an opinion or assumption can morph into a ‘fact’ on which other people’s decisions are based. ‘How long have we got?’ can have only two answers: a number, or, ‘I will find out.’ If Someone then wants your opinion, they’ll ask.

 Your own jargon is OK. What is convenient shorthand within the team may well be jargon outside it, but the team should still use it. Pilots use terms like ‘inbound’ to mean ‘I’m On my way, on time, with no issues’, or ‘tumbleweed’ to mean ‘I have absolutely no situational awareness, and something bad could happen any time soon’, or ‘ballistic’ to mean ‘I am out of control and something bad will happen any time soon—stay away!’ That assumes, of course,that everyone knows what it means: it is part of the team’s language, part of its standards.Technical terms weren’t made up to be vague or confuse people. They are created to describe a specific thing in context, more efficiently than before.   In the military, those terms are chosen so that when used in the same situation they don’t sound the same. We reduce the chance of mishearing someone, of making mistakes because of     an accent or a crackling line. So, ‘commit/abort’, or ‘affirmative/negative’ rather than ‘yes/no’, which are so short they might be lost in a crackling line.

 Cut the chatter. Fighter pilots support each other by saying only what they have to say, no more, and then get off the radio. That keeps ideas clear and lines free. In business and at home,in most situations, that may come across as abrupt. But remember we’re talking about communication within a team that is focusing on a mission. If you’re on a family road trip and it’s time to turn off the highway, just make the call!

Decide on simple patterns for both one-way and two-way communication. For example, in two-way communication, agree on how to check you’ve made contact, that the other person is listening, and that they have heard you. Pilots aren’t shy in asking for a repeat back’ to make sure the word has got through: not the whole sentence, but a coreword, phrase, or paraphrase.  Similarly, agree on a simple structure for one-way communication like emails, if they’re more than one line. Put the point of the email and the desired action at the top, and structure everything else below. If it’s information about an event or process, use your friends ‘who, what, and when’. Set your own rules, whatever they are, and stick to them.

Refocus and shed

It has always taken self-discipline to stay focused through our daily cacophony of personal and work plans, meetings, calls, and emails. That’s even harder now that we have a glued-to-hand smartphone with its world of alerts, distraction, and temptation. So it’s become ever more critical to be able to cut through that task list, and shed whatever you don’t really have to do, now.

Most time-management approaches follow similar themes (and Flex is no exception). We set that out below, but if you prefer your own, go with that. The real difference is with Flex you have wings, there to help keep you focused, shed tasks, and do the tasks you can’t. If you need to, work with your wingman to problem solve how to shed tasks, and how to tap into other resources.

Each day or more often as needed, refocus on what you have to do, and what you can shed. Here is the way we prioritize things:

Must do.  Things  that the  law, your boss,  your standards, or  an emergency require you to do. You may not like them, you may rather do other things, but there’s no avoiding these, so best do or delegate them as quickly and as clearly as possible.

Should do. Your core job. The missions you’re on, that take planning and diligence,and that your performance will be judged on—by you, your family, your boss, or your partners. Plan your days and weeks around these.

Nice to do. These would definitely be worthwhile in the perfect world, but not at the expense of your core job. Things that contribute to the plans of others, to your learning, to your relationships. Do them by all means, but in gaps that emerge in your core program. The ‘nice to do’s are a real trap

Core words “help,” and “want,” are typically two of the first words I teach. The staff working with my students all know what each core word is we are targeting during the month and their help carrying words over into all settings is necessary and extremely beneficial for our students. Help is one of those words they are easily able to practice throughout the day in naturalistic settings such as when a student is asking for help opening something such as a water bottle or help to tie their shoe. In addition to making sure to target the word consistently throughout the day in a natural setting I use another packet by Speech Room News and this great “Help Me Open,” book I found on Teacher’s Pay Teachers.” I also use the Toca Boca Vet app and “Friends and Neighbors,” game in order to help teach “help” in a more structured way.
