I shared out a summer reading list last year and it was a hit so I thought I’d share my list for this summer! This summer’s list is a bit longer as I have more trips planned (which being honest, is the only time I can sit for hours and read!). If you’re really perceptive, […]

I recently released an entire line of no-prep articulation worksheets. The thing that differentiated these worksheets from other resources already out there is that they utilize high frequency words, or words that we say frequently day to day. Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on using high frequency words in articulation therapy as well as […]

For the past couple of years, I’ve really loved printing various visuals for my therapy sessions onto Post It notes. They’re great because I can stick them in student notebooks, directly onto assignments, and they’re disposable! I’ve gotten a ton of questions about how I do it so I thought I’d share a short tutorial […]

Did you know that there are 300,000 items in the average American home?! That stat is absolutely wild to me. I don’t even want to know the average number of items in a speech room. Minimizing will help you thrive because the less stuff you have, the less time you’ll spend cleaning, organizing, looking for […]

People are losing their ability to focus due to the distraction heavy culture we live in today. In the past decade or so, I’ve learned a ton about productivity. I’ve almost gotten obsessed with it at times due to necessity. While getting my undergrad degree, I worked nearly full time for several years. Then, in […]

Lately, there seems to be an influx of online tools directed towards SLPs. It can be hard to decide what is worth paying for or not so I thought I’d share my thoughts on my all-time favorites. I pay for these all out of pocket and have found them all to be worth the cost. […]

Since transferring to working with older students in the schools, I’ve spent a ton of time working with students that use AAC systems including iPad apps, dedicated devices, picture symbols, core boards, and PODD books! Year after year, I kept wishing there was an easier way to implement AAC, especially in the schools. As a […]

I’m always in need of quick, grab and go materials! I made this one for the beginning of the school year for my mixed language and social groups. It worked incredibly well and was SO easy to prep (aka just print it) sooo I thought I’d share it with all of you! To play, just […]

I recently realized that I’ve never officially shared about my file folder bins that I use to store my all-time favorite materials for speech and language therapy. I recently made myself some editable labels to match them and it got me excited about these bins all over again! First things first, I bought everything on […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I recently took a 2 week trip to South Africa. It was incredible! Since, I’ve gotten so many messages asking for trip info so I thought I’d share everything here. I planned the trip myself and we tried to find a perfect balance between doing […]
