Shari was a 5 year old girl who just started therapy. She wasn’t producing any words, had minimal eye contact and cried during most of each session. She really enjoyed ball slide types of toys but became upset when she wasn’t allowed to control the entire interaction. When the clinician touched the ball she cried, tried […]

Recycled Guest Posts: Speech Snacks Feeding
This is a post that I did to celebrate Speech Snack’s 2 year blogging anniversary! About 10% of my caseload is feeding clients. I don’t blog a lot about feeding therapy techniques because I think that these kids really need services from a feeding team and trained professionals. Suzanne Evans Morris is a FANTASTIC resource […]
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 […]
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. I wrote about this before but I think it bears repeating: I’ve admitted in the past that I have made recommendations to parents-with the best of intentions-that have undoubtedly […]
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. I’m from Minnesota and hang with the crowd that gets their fanciest dresses at the local department store or maybe Kohl’s if they have one of those coupons. 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 […]
Snowman Protein Shake Container Card Eaters
Like many people, I find it easy to fall into a love/hate relationship with my body. In my twenties, I spent too much time obsessing over my hair-I wanted it to look just like a character on General Hospital. But no matter how much I tried or where I got my hair cut, I couldn’t […]
Emergency Mustache Maneuvers
Hi, My name is Kelly and I have a fear of growing a mustache. Sometimes in that bathroom light, I’m not sure if there is a shadow on my top lip or if I’m starting to grow some coarse mustache hairs. On occasion, when I go into get my eyebrows done, the technician will ask […]
Best of the Best: 5 Books that Changed my life-well my therapy life anyhow.
I think I’ve mentioned that I’m a hoarder. And a half book reader. And I may not vacuum weekly. I have some faults. But I LOVE to read and spend probably too much time reading books about speech language pathology, education and learning styles. (well I read at least half of the book.) These books […]
