My Saturday Soapbox series in November was focused on some of my “goal pet peeves.” You can check out my previous posts by clicking on the links below. I don’t know where to start when you write a goal like that. It’s an IEP not a grocery list Just because they got it wrong on […]

Edublog: My Award Nominations
Have you heard of the Edublogs Awards? They were started to demonstrate that social media can have an educational effect. I hadn’t heard of them but saw a tweet from Sean at Speech Techie and headed over to their website to check them out. If you have a blog or website, you can nominate […]
Tuesday Turkey Leftovers: 3 super quick crafts
I love holiday weeks because I can pick 1-2 activities and use them with most of my clients. It saves on my planning and set up time. I pick up little activities as I see them in the store. This year I went a little bit crazy for Thanksgiving. So instead of saving myself prep […]
Speechy Feedback: November linky party
Nicole over at AllisonSpeechpeeps.blogspot.com has a monthly linky party where we give you feedback on your feedback on Teachers Pay Teachers or Teacher’s Notebook. I love getting feedback on my products. It is motivating to get feedback and it also gives me good ideas of what to keep working on. Thank you to Angela Lauderbaugh […]
My Favorite Articulation Apps
iPads may be saving the backs of traveling speech language pathologists across the country. It’s really nice to have some apps or word lists at your fingertips without having to bring a long 30 different decks of articulation cards. (I still love my card decks though!) Jenna from Speech Room News is hosting another linky […]
Saturday Soapbox: I don’t know where to start when you write a goal like that.
My Soapbox Saturdays were focused on goal pet peeves this November. Learning to write effective long term goals and objectives is difficult.

Saturday soapbox: It’s an IEP not a grocery list.
My Soapbox Saturday this month has been focused on my goal pet peeves. Sometimes these are goals that I’ve inherited; sometimes these are goals that I’ve written without thinking things through. Ultimately, poorly written goals end up taking up more of my valuable time in treatment planning and documenting progress. I work in both outpatient […]
The Speech Gobbler: A reinforcement turkey craftivitiy
I saw an occupational therapist making something like this with each of her clients and thought this could be a fun way to work on different therapy targets with a Thanksgiving theme. Have you ever looked at the difference between therapy crafts made during speech therapy sessions versus occupational therapy sessions? I usually prep before […]
What’s up with all this Gratitude stuff?
I’ve had friends who have done gratitude journals and I’ve always been interested in the idea of it. I purchased a gratitude journal on a girlfriends weekend and even a gratitude app but I’ve never managed to complete more than a week of it. I decided to do a personal gratitude challenge this November for several […]
