Buzzing about Speech & Language

Ok…I admit it. I feel kinda stupid blogging about this. I’ve been debating whether or not to share this because it’s so simple. I’m sure most of you do this in therapy already! But, what the heck? Lol. Want to know the game my speechie kids ask to play the most in therapy? Nope, not Candyland. Not Fish and Say. Not… Read More
Down here in the deep South, people love them some Mardi Gras! Despite its bad rap, there are several fun, family-friendly parades everywhere. My kiddos get really excited when the holiday comes around, especially because we get 2 or 3 days off school for it!
