My Path My Voice with Dr. Yang

Have you ever wondered how a children’s book comes to life—or how something as simple as a story can help a child make sense of big emotions?In this episode of My Path, My Voice, I’m joined by early childhood educator and author Lindsay Giroux, who shares how her classroom experiences led her to create books that truly support children’s social-emotional development.What makes her books unique is this: they go beyond simply labeling feelings. They help children experience emotions, notice what’s happening in their bodies, and offer adults simple, supportive ways to respond in the moment. If you’d like to explore her books, learn more about her work, or connect with her directly, visit her website:https://www.lindsayngiroux.com/

這一集，我邀請到目前在美國攻讀博士的語言治療師 蘇筱庭, 一起分享她在跨文化旅程中如何慢慢學會為自己發聲。筱庭帶我們走進她真實的留學與生活經驗：剛到美國時對英文的不自在、在課堂與工作中需要勇敢表達的壓力、面對文化差異時的掙扎，以及一步步建立自信的過程。他也分享 AAC 如何改變她對「溝通」的理解。筱庭目前的博士研究主題是：台灣 3–7 歲低口語孩子的家庭共讀經驗，並正在招募家長或主要照顧者填寫線上問卷（約 15–20 分鐘）。👉 調查連結：https://go.unc.edu/FamilyReadingStudy「低口語」指孩子口語表達的詞彙有限，通常主動說出的詞彙少於 100 個。研究目的是更深入了解家庭共讀的現況，讓未來的支持服務更貼近家長的實際需要。誠摯邀請轉發與協助，也非常歡迎家長直接與筱庭聯繫。如果你是國際學生、多語背景的專業人士，或正在努力找到自己聲音的人，筱庭的故事會讓你感到被看見，也會提醒你：自信可以慢慢培養，勇氣可以後天練習，而你的聲音永遠值得被聽見。想了解更多 AAC 與溝通策略，也歡迎追蹤筱庭的 AAC IG：@aacaactionnow
