I’ve been meaning to do a post on imitation for awhile. May 14th is the first Apraxia Awareness day so I thought a post on imitation skills would be appropriate. Imitation abilities one of the things that I assess during an initial evaluation. Speech therapy uses a lot modeling techniques so having a child […]
One year ago today.
One year ago today I was getting ready in the locker room of the gym where I work out. I work out early in the morning and usually check my email as I’m drying my hair. I opened my phone and saw it: 3 missed phone calls from my parents house in Arizona-starting at 3:00 […]
Clip Art Hoarder: Quick organizational strategies
In addition to SLP materials hoarding, I’ve recently been diagnosed as a clip art hoarder. This is in keeping with my long tradition of overpurchasing my craft-of-the-moment. I’ve got stickers, fancy papers, and a CRICUT from my scrapbooking days. I went through a phase of trying out crafts by purchasing kids kits. I’ve got a […]
Behavior: When consequences don’t work the way we think they will.
When I first starting practicing, I worked with a child who used to bolt. About a week before my wedding, he bolted out the front door of the clinic in to a busy parking lot. I ran after him SO worried that he would be injured or hit by a car. He ended up falling […]
Smoothtastic: The extra blender
My husband has a difficult time picking out the right gift for people. One year there was the “Tinkerbell towel” debacle. One year for our anniversary he bought me a Tinkerbell watch. Well, I thought it was a watch…. But it was actually a watch/lip gloss combination. This was in my late 30’s. I’m […]

Speech Therapy in the Dark. This could be a post about your first year as a Speech Language Pathologist. It could be about how sometimes you feel like you don’t know anything. It could talk about how the internet and the speech pathology blogging community is helping to change that. Now if you have […]
5 Cool Thought bubble products and 1 really lazy one.
I found these cool speech and thought bubble post it notes in the Target dollar spot a few weeks ago. I didn’t realize until after I’d opened them up that they cost 3.00 a piece. A little more expensive than I was planning on. Here is some great information on using thought bubbles in speech […]
Autism: Kids Social Skills Books
I won an award at work for “Most likely to be seen on “Hoarders: Speech Pathology Edition.” I think I could probably argue this title, as I don’t actually hoard a number of the SAME materials. For instance, I don’t have 12 copies of No Glamour Grammar that I picked up at the local Speech […]
Autism: Categorization
Categorization is another one of my favorite goals to work on. Categorization is really a fundamental skill which helps direct our thought processes. We use categorization to plan events, organize our homes, create shopping lists and navigate stores efficiently. In order to categorize objects appropriately, we need to be able to recognize similarities and […]
