Buzzing about Speech & Language
It’s all about SLP resources and shortcuts this week! I hope you’ve enjoyed the school-based series this month! We’ve talked all about the many roles and responsibilities that SLPs have. And we even dove into a few things that I wish I would’ve known before starting in the schools. The paperwork load for SLPs is overwhelming. In this post, I… Read More
The other day I did a poll on Instagram. I asked what the hardest part of our job was as school SLPs. The vast majority said paperwork, of course. But in second place, was IEPs and evals. Many said they would love some tips for writing IEPs because they were struggling. IEPs are tough because it’s hard to keep up… Read More
Last week in our school SLP blog series, we talked about the many roles and responsibilities of SLPs in the schools. One of those responsibilities is the dreaded SLP paperwork. Paperwork is a sore subject among school-based SLPs. Why is it such a sore subject? Well, it’s all part of the unrealistic expectations placed on SLPs and the constant changes… Read More
Back to school season for SLPs calls for all the paperwork tips and ideas. I’m always on the hunt for a better system. Maybe it’s because there is no organization system that can take the paperwork away or have it complete itself. Lol That mountain of paperwork and responsibilities is frustrating, isn’t it?

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.
