Hi Reader,
​
I emailed out EST's updated Resource Binder to all current supporters on Buy Me A Coffee on July 1. It now stands at 326 pages! If you can't find the email, just reply and let me know.

The Mini Resource Binder was also updated and is now 84 pages. This is a reward for people who offer a one-time tip on Buy Me A Coffee.

As always, thank you for your support! It's a large reason why I keep going with this project after 7 years!

Learn about Black American Sign Language (2 minute video).

Guys, I'm not joking when I say I'm embarrassed... I'm a linguist by training, I even took a linguistics class on American Sign Language. It never crossed my mind that Black American Sign Language could be a thing.

Of course, it could be, it was, and it is!

Just one more example of the many, many things I don't know until YouTube serves it up to me!

(1) How have I missed this podcast? Work-Life Balance for SLPs by Theresa Harp. She has over 100 episodes, and still going strong!
​
(2) A new survey shows that more than 1 in 5 SLPs couldn't identify a single known risk associated with a modified texture diet. Only 6.3% of the 326 SLPs who answered the survey could identify all 13 health risks associated with modified texture diets. There are 4 well-known risks for modified solids and 9 for modified liquids (there is some overlap). I am planning on writing about this soon. (Open access paper)
​
(3) Electronic forehead "tattoo" measures mental strain - how handy would that be for therapy? And maybe for the clinicians, too... mandated break when the needle passes into the red! (Wouldn't that be nice)

Thanks for reading!
