I loved getting to hang out with this group of young minds last night! We have the power to know better and do better. 💙

Where are you on your journey to advocacy? How can you take the next step?

This is an awesome graphic by @introvertdoodles (ig) about autistic shutdown.

Key to remember: “Autistic shut-down is NOT stubbornness, laziness or disrespect. Autistic shut-down is involuntary, painful, exhausting. Please, be patient and compassionate.”

Learn how to help!⤵️

Rachel Dorsey (The Autistic SLP) is such an important voice to follow in our field. We owe it to our autistic students and clients to shift our thinking. What messages are we missing? What messages are we assuming?

We shouldn’t go back to the schools of March 2020 – that’s a low bar. Right now, we have the chance to be bold – stronger mental health support, better training, and the opportunity to address inequities that existed long before COVID-19.

@Sanders_SW 😭 nooooooooooo 💙🖤

Hallway, ten minutes before dismissal: “MS PORTIA WHAT COLOR IS THIS DRESS” 👀

This is a blurry photo but I had to capture evidence that we debated the Absolute Classic debate of the Dress today. In 2021!!!

Happy throwback weekend, y’all.

@SpeechRoom7 @SandersSELF I love spreading the improv & communication love! Let's touch base when it gets closer to summer! 🥳

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

We had a great kickoff to our third round of the Improv PLC at @SandersSELF today! I’m so excited to work with our elementary team on how to infuse play and connection into interactions with students. Can you guess what components of improv these emojis represent?
👂👍🧱🕺🏻😅

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

@TarynJRichard @SandersSELF Awesome! Just disco past the barriers 😊

The brick can also be adding on to another person's idea! We work better together when everyone can add their expertise & experience to the conversation!

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

@SpeechRoom7 I haven’t seen it yet but now I’m excited! Thank you for sharing!

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

Listen, I love the students who are like “BYE MISS PORTIA HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND 🥰”

...But I *also* love the exchanges that end in “ugh whatEVER byeeeeee ✌🏻“

Happy Friday, y’all. To educators, thank you for showing up for ALL students. It matters, even if they don’t show it.

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

I got to meet Mr. Green Clown today and he even posed for a selfie with me! I love when students bring their own items into activities. Highlighting students’ expertise while working on skills helps make learning collaborative. Everyone’s an expert in something! 💚🤡

Yes! Everyone has times when our brains struggle. Kids deserve to see openness about that from adults. Modeling communication strategies during tough brain times is so important!

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

I noticed that my 6-yo was being a lil rude/curt w/me, so I asked her what was up. At first, she just looked at me, so I reiterated that I can’t help her if I don’t know what’s wrong.

Then I asked, “Why are you being unkind to me? What happened?”

[Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm]

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health due to the wave of anti-trans-related legislation proposed across the US, @translifeline is available at [phone].

The @TrevorProject also has crisis support available for LGBTQ+ youth at 1 [phone].

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

Yes, love this team!!! We owe it to our students to approach everything, especially SEL, from an equity lens. I appreciate how devoted Wayne is to addressing ALL students’ needs and expanding everyone’s worldviews. 💜

I’m proud to say #WeAreWayne !

[Portia Goodin, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, ASDCS @GoodinSLP]

Way to go, everyone! Can’t wait to watch it grow! 🌱

Lots of great helpers today in our garden! @biggreen @SandersSELF @JenniferG_75
