My Soapbox Saturdays were focused on goal pet peeves this November. Learning to write effective long term goals and objectives is difficult. Sometimes you write something that seems to make sense at the time, but when you go back to measure it or plan for it, it doesn’t work in the way that you thought. […]
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 […]
November Gratitude Challenge: YOU plus a Thanksgiving FREEBIE
My November Gratitude challenge #9 is YOU! (Whoops-it should have been done yesterday, but I know you will forgive me. We went to go see the new Thor movie and by the time I got home, I completely forgot to post this.) I am grateful for all of you who have taken the […]
Saturday Soapbox: Just because they got it wrong on the test doesn’t mean it needs to be a goal!
Last week I started talking about some of my pet peeves regarding goal and objective writing. You can read about how I HATE it when goals are trying to measure too many things by clicking here. A second pet peeve of mine is when people write goals that teach to the test. Some tests do seem […]
Hand Turkey Speech Therapy
This is an update on a post I did last year with some newer pictures. I’m a little obsessed with hand turkeys in November. I make one with everyone. Some of my older kids need a little coaxing but I talk about how it’s so retro and then they are usually okay with it. I […]
Mama-on-Days: Halloween Hijinks
I want my holidays to be filled with family traditions. I spent a lot of time planning and creating Halloween events for my family while working hard to monitor my own expectations. Sometimes I can get a little out of control with my planning and the way I think the event will go in […]
Saturday Soapbox: Your objectives don’t have to measure 200 things.
Does anyone else have goal pet peeves? It’s difficult when you are taking over a new caseload and working off of someone else’s goals. Most of the goals are fantastic but sometimes they fall into my GOAL PENALTY BOX. Here are some of the goals I find impossible to work on-and some suggestions for making […]
Carryover Strategies {Linky Party}
I love it when a client comes in and has just started to produce the speech sounds we’ve been working on spontaneously. It doesn’t happen that often. Instead we end up at the carryover phase-or we end up with clients or students who seem to associate me with good speech. So they do great during […]
