Let’s use those technology tools to free our minds up for more important things! Today’s guest post comes to us from Candace Hayden, M.A., CCC-SLP, an […]

Time-wasters at work creep in when you least expect it! What with massive caseloads, hefty paperwork requirements, and keeping up with CEUs and lifelong learning, it seems like SLPs would be the most efficient people around. But if you have a caseload of under 60-ish students and find yourself consistently working late or bringing work […]

Do you truly feel like you are making an impact and making a difference at your jobs? Most SLPs say they get into the field to help people. Some days are great – we connect with our students, someone finally gets their /r/ sound, teachers are happy to collaborate with you. And some days are […]

Today’s email is meant to (hopefully) challenge you to think about how you write IEP goals, specifically how […]

I wanted to take a step back from my usually speech/language blog posts to chat about something I love very much: fonts, especially accessible fonts. 😂 For the past 8+ years, I’ve spent a significant amount of my time designing and developing printable resources for SLPs. In that time, I’ve learned a ton and have […]

One question I get frequently when I talk about AAC implementation is where SLPs can find high quality, low tech AAC boards. I’ve been sharing these links over and over in emails to other SLPs and thought I’d compile them all in one place to make it super easy to find what you’re looking for. […]

If you’re a long time reader or follow me on Instagram, you might know that I just recently returned from a global volunteer trip to Ghana. I love travel and was thrilled to have the opportunity to combine this love with my love for speech-language pathology. I traveled with Smiles for Speech, a global volunteer […]

I’ve been home for exactly a week since returning from my volunteer trip to Ghana. I wanted to share a day by day summary of the trip while everything was still fresh in case you’re curious or are interested in learning more about the experience of an SLP volunteering abroad. I went on a 10 […]
