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. And, yes, I do too. But there’s something about the combination of school supplies, new tote bags, and a fresh start that excites me. Once the bell rings… Read More
If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that I’ve been giving my speech room a makeover. It was bad, y’all. It needed purging and re-organizing like nobody’s business. I am happy to report that it’s finally done in a workable state. Is any organizing ever completely done? I did learn a few lessons and maybe some secret hacks… Read More
Are you a paper and pencil type of planner girl? Or maybe you’re more green and go the digital route. Personally, I’m a little bit of both! I like to have parts of my planner on paper and parts of my planner digitally. Note: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Today, I’m super excited to show you how I make… Read More
The other day I sat down to update my to-do list at work. It kept getting longer and longer. When I sat back and realized how much I had to do, all the kids I had to see, and the deadlines that were looming, I started to feel that panic rise up. This is called stress. It’s a stressful time… Read More

Are you a TPT-a-holic like me? I’ve purchased so many fantastic TPT products over the past couple years that now I’ve racked up quite the collection. The problem is I don’t always remember what I have, and it’s really tough to keep track. I’ve made things and bought things and won things and now they are just scattered all over my computer….

I love decorating and making things pretty. Everyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty much a professional shower-giver. If you are getting married or having a baby, I’m your girl to give you a cutesie party. 🙂 I try to put this to good use in my speech room too. Every couple of years I like to change up… Read More

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! 💛🐝
