Invite skeptics to interrogate your work in order to find the truth. Don’t call them names. It makes your viewpoint look weak. When you argue against their points without them present, make sure you accurately present their cases—all of them. Don’t cherry-pick.
I love the idea of this podcast and the hosts, but am very disappointed in the inclusion of proponents of facilitated communication and spelling to communicate! There’s so much misinformation around this topic, so adding legitimacy to it via this podcast is really harmful. If you or someone you know is considering using facilitated communication, please talk to your local (licensed!) SLP instead of trusting people who say your child can’t independently communicate.
This is great but confused why music plays during the interview?
This podcast has been so helpful to me. I am so grateful to Dave, Barry and all the guests for sharing their valuable knowledge. I especially appreciate the combination of a deep knowledge base with the willingness to take in new information. The result is that we have access to extraordinary wisdom. Thanks!
Highly recommend listening to Barry and Dave - thoughtful conversations with a range of guests and voices, and it all helps us be better.
