Buzzing about Speech & Language
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….

My most favorite part of my job is all of the paperwork that I have the privilege of completing -said no SLP ever! Unfortunately, paperwork is just something we all have to get a handle on, which is why we are tackling this topic during Organization Week. Day 2. Paperwork! Here are a few tips that will hopefully help you… Read More
How do you like to keep track of your paperwork and keep your speechie self organized? Do you use a computer-based calendar? A fancy expensive planner? A TPT product? Your phone? Post-it notes scattered all over your desk? I think I’ve probably used all of the above in the past. For some reason I keep going back to good old… Read More
As SLPs I think it’s safe to say that we are all familiar with the list. We make list of kids, a list of reasons why, a list of supplies, or especially a to-do list. Though actually doing the things on the list isn’t always the most fun part of my day, it definitely helps if the list is bright… Read More

Progress reports, evals, RtI, Medicaid,… 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! 💛🐝
