When I was in school, we did not talk a lot about bilingualism beyond assessing articulation and the importance of language differences vs. language disorders. When I was in school, I was told that if you had a child who was language delayed in a bilingual home, the parents should pick one primary language. There has […]
My SLP Story
What inspired you to become a speech language pathologist? I’m linking up with the Frenzied SLPs to share my #SLPStory. My #slpstory started with a happy accident. I’ve always loved interacting with children. In sixth grade, I would sit in the front of the bus and talk to the kindergarten students. I think I had friends […]
Quick and Easy Recipes for the Frenzied SLP {linky}
The Frenzied SLPs are sharing their favorite quick and easy recipes to help make sure your dinner time is a little less frenzied! I work 10 hour days, so by the time I get home, we have to try to fit dinner, homework, showers, and bedtime into about a 90 minute period of time. I […]
Things I LOVE: Bento boxes
There are a lot of things I LOVE about being a Speech Language Pathologist. I LOVE it when I hear a client’s first word , the first time they get a sound correct (especially /r/!!!) and when I am in a CEU course and think, “Hey! I’m already doing that!” I love thinking back about […]
Mama-on-Days: My Summer Bucket List and a FREEBIE
This is it. It’s our last summer before the big K-KINDERGARTEN. I’ll probably blink and he will be graduating from high school. I’m alternating between being excited AND trying to figure out how old I would be, if I tried for just one more, when that child graduated. The Biscuit is at the age where […]
Mama-on-days: The curse of being a “time optimist”
Did I ever tell you that I gave my son a standardized assessment once? Just to check out his scores. I’m happy to report that he was around 113 or so. Not in the gifted range, just average for language skills. There is a question on one subtest which asked what you would say to […]
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 […]
Surviving the Polar Vortex while single handedly treating articulation AND language disorders.
It’s been a little chilly here the past few days. As I write this the temperatures is -17, which is better than yesterday morning when it was -22. We don’t get this cold very often. It’s the kind of cold that makes your feet cramp up if you don’t have good boots. When you go […]
Mama-on-Days: Tales from the Elf
Last year I bought an Elf on the Shelf. We named it….something. I forgot to write it down. I lost it for about 2 1/2 weeks. We have a little miniature pinscher and I spent my days running in the room before the Biscuit glancing frantically around for plastic bits of elf remains. About a […]
Mama-on-Days: A Christmas reminder and warning
Watching the news report the holiday sales, I’m struck by how much time and attention we give to retail and shopping. Pictures of people shoving each other to get the best deal or one of the few televisions that a store puts out to lure shoppers into their store. Shopping and reporting on shopping has […]
