Today is World Autism Day. I’m lighting it up by changing my font color to blue. Last year when I wrote this, the prevalence was 1 in 88 children. This year that prevalence has changed to 1 in 68. Autism impacts a child’s ability to interact with their world and to process the information within that […]
What’s new at Speech2U: March Edition
Once a month, I take a few moments to share what new products I’ve been working on. Things continue to be hectic around here on the work front but I’ve been slowly plugging away at a new Interactive Flashcard product for Multiple Meaning Words. These products are some of my favorites. I’m trying to help […]
Mama-on-Days: Kindergarten Readiness
I wish my actual job would stop being so busy so I could spend some more time hanging out here. Do you ever drive yourself crazy trying to do it all? I know that I do. I love being able to write and think of therapy ideas. I have so many ideas and things that I […]
Whole Body Listening: Sponge Bob Style
Whole Body Listening is a concept that was introduced by Susanne P. Truesdale and first written about in the Language Speech and Hearing Services in the Schools.

Soapbox Saturday: Are you an expert OR are you just a colleague in another setting?
Full disclosure: I work in both schools and outpatient settings. In some ways I think this helps give me a unique perspective on both settings.

Soapbox Saturday: No, I’m not assessing your speech and other ridiculous things people say when you are a Speech Language Pathologist
Years ago, I went to a very fancy destination wedding for a relative.

This was the kind of wedding where everyone wore designer one of a kind […]

Mama-on-Days: Surviving Airplane Flights: the toddler years and beyond
One of the worst flights we took was when the Biscuit was 2 years old. This was about his fourth or fifth trip. I’d prepared. I had bags of snacks, I made 15 busy bags, I had a bag full of no no items like rolls of tape. I bought a special harness to buckle […]
Sunday Scrambling: St. Patrick’s Day Activities and a FREEBIE!
Anybody ever had vertigo after a cruise? It’s a really weird feeling. Too bad I can’t do all of my therapy laying on my side-or can I? I spent some time this Sunday organizing my activities for this week: 1. Shamrock Shakes: Mmmmm…..I used to love getting a Shamrock shake from McDonalds. This I’m going […]
