Buzzing about Speech & Language
Give me all the cute monsters and silly skeletons. I love using themed books in therapy as much as the next SLP. But, choosing the right book for your specific student is important. Here’s what I always ask myself when choosing books for my groups or individual students: Is it developmental age appropriate? (not just chronological age appropriate) Will it… Read More
Happy fall, y’all. I’ve got my PSL in hand (#basic) and wearing my fall colors and pretending that this Louisiana weather isn’t still scorching hot. At least it’s officially fall in my speech room. How about yours? I’ve pulled out all the fun fall activities for my articulation and language kids, and they are loving it. Sometimes, though, it’s difficult… Read More
Many of my poor language disordered students have such difficulty telling stories. I’m sure that’s no surprise to you. Narrative skills are not usually the strong suit of someone with language learning problems. They often lack structure, vocabulary, and understanding of overall language. Needless to say, we work a lot with stories and books in our speech room. My newest… Read More
Last week was all about Thanksgiving in my speech room. I thought I’d share a Target dollar spot find with you that my kids had a blast with! This came in one big roll of Thanksgiving fun. I separated it out and made a couple rows, since my speech room wasn’t big enough to spread the whole thing out! We… Read More

When I first saw washi tape I was kind of confused. I didn’t understand what exactly you were supposed to do with it, but I knew I loved all of the fun designs and colors.

My sister texted me yesterday morning to tell me that she was taking her husband to go get tested for the virus.⠀
.⠀
They both work in healthcare and we have been praying for their safety, since they can only "social distance" so much. I admit, I've been a worried mess.⠀
.⠀
The funny thing is that whenever I text my sister to ask how she's doing, she sends me this emoji: 💪. She's one tough cookie, and I know why.⠀
.⠀
It's because HE is strong. God gives us His strength when life is tough. So we can be brave and strong because we can thankfully lean on Him.⠀
.⠀
I hope and pray that you are doing ok, friend. We've reached the point in this pandemic that you probably know someone or of someone who is sick with this virus. ⠀
.⠀
Send me their name if you want, and I will be praying for them. :) Let me know how things are going. 🐝💛
