Nicole over at her awesome new website, Speechpeeps.com is hosting the last Speachy feedback party for this school year. I love getting feedback on my products. It really helps me to figure out things that are working and not working and guides my decisions regarding new products. This month we are picking feedback from a […]
The Eye contact debate
Should you encourage eye contact for children on the autism spectrum? When I first started working as a speech language pathologist, it was common to see goals such as “Johnny will sustain eye contact for 5 minutes” or “Johnny will maintain eye contact for 90% of a conversation.” This is a great goal if your […]
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 […]
Soapbox Saturday: What if we have the wrong answer to our problem?
Years ago when I started as a speech language pathologist, there was a big push for us to service children with reading disorders. Around that same time, it seemed that our scope of practice was getting so big as to be impossible to reach every child. For awhile, it seemed like we were expected to […]
Lazy Speech Therapist-End of the Year Card deck activities
Is anyone else a little bit fried by this time of the year? It’s the perfect time for super lazy speech therapy games. They are still motivating-but require very little effort from the exhausted Speech Language Pathologist who still has 900 progress reports to write before the end of the year. And don’t even talk […]
What really happened to that rabbit?: 2 Great Books for Inferencing and Theory of Mind.
I’ve always loved reading. As a child, I used to get grounded from the library. (Probably not the most logical parenting choice, but it was the 80s.) In junior high, I remember going up to my friend’s cabin for the week. We both packed one suitcase full of clothes and the other suitcase was full […]

Jenna from Speech Room News is hosting a “What’s in Your Cart” linky party for the upcoming TPT sale. I’m always interested in seeing what other people are buying. I usually find some pretty awesome products! Here’s my shopping strategy for this time of the year. I’m looking for some home programming stuff-summer homework packages […]

Stepping up to the challenge of Challenging behaviors and surviving to live another day
I would say at least 50% or more of my caseload has exhibited challenging behaviors for the last 16 years that I’ve been practicing. Hitting, throwing, spitting, biting, work refusals, crying, refusing to leave etc. Today I’m going to talk mostly about individual sessions. At school settings when I have one student who is more […]
Love It AND list It {Linky party}
Thank you to Jenna from The Speech Room News for hosting another awesome Love It and List It. This month’s topic is behavior management. What a great topic-especially when students get so squirrely at the end of the year. I always start by making sure that my activities are fun and motivating. Because I work with […]
