Architects For Learning

Thank you to all our new followers this month! In case you’re discovering us for the first time, here are some fast facts about us.

Are you an SLP? Smart? Passionate about helping kids who struggle with language, literacy, and learning? Looking to be a part on an incredible team of SLPs and educators?
Yes?! Then we're looking for YOU!

What can you do when you KNOW your child has so much they want to share with the world, but they just can't get the ideas out of their head?

Or, their ideas come out of their head, but they're all jumbled up, and it's hard for them - and you (and teachers)- to figure out what they're trying to write.

At Architects For Learning, we help students of all ages develop the skills and habits they need to become effective writers and communicators.

Contact us. We can help.

We've all seen it.

Students start to read, get to the end of a sentence, and have absolutely NO IDEA what the heck they've just read.

Sure, sometimes that can be attributed to attention, but there are some grammatical structures that are known to be difficult-- especially for students who struggle with language.

These students can read that sentence over and over, and they'll still forget the words before they can work out their meaning.

We developed a way to teach these structures that lightens the memory load, and allows students to unlock any sentence they come across.

Check out Unlocking Sentences. You AND your students will be glad you did!

Singer & Bashir.

Whenever those two names (and brains) are paired, SLPs and educators KNOW what follows will teach them something they can use immediately to help their students.

If you heard their presentation at ASHA, then you've heard all about what can go wrong AND how you can help students who just can't make themselves understood when they have to explain themselves. (The frameworks and strategies they gave are pretty fabulous, right?)

If you're an SLP or educator who DIDN'T get to see them at ASHA, you're in luck! They're going to do their presentation live online Wednesday, December 13th. (That means you can get your hands on those frameworks and strategies too!)

Singer and Bashir.
Wednesday, December 13th.
Don't miss out!

There are movers.
There are shakers.
There are teachers.
There are mentors.
There are leaders.
There are warriors.
There are poets.
There are writers.
There are SLPs.
There are educators.
And then there is Bonnie Singer, who is all of the above and more.

We are so incredibly proud of the work she has done over the course of her career, and we were over the moon when we learned she was awarded ASHA's Certificate of Recognition for Outstanding Contributions in Clinical Achievement.

So. Well. Deserved.

Much love to all who reached out with well wishes and congratulations. We passed along each an every message.

Many many thanks to those who were able to celebrate with us in Boston. For those who weren't able to make it, know that you were very much missed.

For all those wondering what's next...just wait. This brilliant soul has so much more to say, teach, and give. Stay tuned.

Well, THIS is just some incredibly awesome news!

Dr. Bonnie Singer, Vivido’s AND Architects For Learning's founder and CEO, was recently named 1 of 7 recipients for ASHA’s 2023 award recognizing Outstanding Contributions in Clinical Achievement.

Designed to recognize outstanding clinical achievement as an audiologist and/or a speech-language pathologist who has been actively engaged in the direct provision of clinical services for a minimum of 5 years in one or more of the following areas:
• Provision of clinical services in settings to include but not limited to schools, clinics, private practice, skilled nursing facilities, medical facilities, and university facilities.
• Development of new and innovative therapeutic and/or service delivery models, materials, and products.
• Research and publications, including authorship or collaboration on the publication of research articles, reports, books, chapters, or other documents that inform effective practice in audiology or speech-language pathology.

• Advocacy and outreach (e.g., legislative, licensing, participation on state/local committees that promote speech and hearing, and/or health and education committees).

All of this to say that Bonnie is just brilliant and has dedicated her career to sharing it with others both in and outside of the field!

EVERY student has a right to become a literate citizen, and EVERY teacher deserves the tools, methods, and training to effectively help them.

This is the thought that continues to get us out of bed everyday to do what we do.

It's what fuels our work, our methods, our development, and our community.

Join us. Let's get the next generation what they need to get where they deserve to go.

Vivido.
