Buzzing about Speech & Language
OK, I admit it. I actually love back-to-school season. I know it’s the end of summer, and most people dread giving up their freedom and heading back to the speech therapy classroom.

Even though the world is upside down and life is crazy...

I still want to take all the opportunities I can to celebrate some of my favorite people. From my sweet nephew to my amazing students, children with autism have a special place in my heart.
•
Every single person with autism you meet is strong and brave and unique. They take on the world in a whole different way than so many of us.
•
Cheers to autism awareness day! Show them some love today. #ItsASpectrum #notaline
I have a love-hate relationship with screens.
•
On one hand, I'm thankful for the amazing technology to be able to interact with others and allow our jobs to continue even in extreme circumstances.
•
On the other hand, goodness, do I miss manipulatives and sensory activities. And I don't think I realized how much I rely on physical prompts like pointing and hand over hand.
•
But we're making it work, y'all. Most of you are jumping in with both feet and rocking it!
•
Even though I miss all my fun materials, I'm turning some products into digital. I'm learning how to interact across a screen. We are figuring out how to use our favorite books and physical materials in new ways.
•
Raise your hand if you have learned more new things in the past 2 weeks than fifty SLP conferences. 🙋 I know you're stressed friend, but we see you! Keep pushing through! 💛🐝
