Jump scare level 💯

❓What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever come across in your (or someone else’s) therapy room/toys?

When you’re an SLP mom who uses up all their “fun” bandwidth for other people’s kids, the most energy you can muster for your own is sometimes a bunch of “wow”s from the edge of the pool while they flip and jump 💦

My kids’ last day of school is this week but I’m still working part time over the summer. They’re doing a couple half day camps here and there, but mostly home with me (or my mom as babysitter when I work).

What are your summer plans?

I was always jealous of the cute banners teachers had up - so I made my own SLP version! The best part is that they’re 30% off for the first 48 hours!

✏️Let me know if you’d like me to send the link directly to you!

There’s a variety of prompts and images to engage everyone on your caseload. Then leave it up for a few weeks and refer to them when you want to remind students of why they come to speech!

Each one comes in color and b&w. Maybe you want to print just your title in color and have students fully decorate the rest? Or maybe your ink budget is 📉so black ink only it is!

Find them at https://bit.ly/BackToSpeechBanner

Are you still doing therapy? Working ESY? Seeing private clients for a little extra cash?

Whatever it is, planning for therapy is a breeze with no prep dot pages! Spend more time relaxing and less time stressing - just hit print!

Use with dot markers, play dough, mini objects, erasers… whatever motivates your little ones!

Or send them home with caregivers for carryover 🙌🏻

I need this puppy WORN. OUT. I need her to play and run and chase and chew until she can hardly move.

…for the sake of my house. And sanity 😂

I knew there would be a lot of comparisons for SLP and mom to human children. But who knew being a puppy-mama would lend itself to some speech-related content🙃

I was denied entrance to grad school for three rou

I was denied entrance to grad school for three rounds of applications, several schools each round.

My road to SLP grad school was NOT pretty.

I had a lot of fun in undergrad (🏴‍☠️). That meant that
my grades weren’t great. I didn’t get in to a grad school during my senior year of college. I spent a “gap year” at home with my parents because I had to.

I was a nanny and a bartender while also taking classes at a local college. I applied to countless grad schools for the next two semesters. I was waitlisted at ONE. I went to their open house to “put a face to a name.”

That December my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. Eight months later I was getting ready to FINALLY move for grad school and got the call that my dad did not have much longer. Just 3 days after his funeral (in NY) I started grad school in Philly.

And here I am, SLPing and talking about speech resources to strangers on the internet. I’m not gonna say “it was worth it” because sometimes this field sucks. Especially in the over-saturated
market where I live. But I *will* say that any way you can get it done is valid and nobody cares if you had a 4.0!

End of the year memories aren’t just for classroom teachers!

I love recapping the year with my students. It’s actually a great way to plan for next year, since we’re lucky enough to have many repeat students from year to year.

Before my oldest started school, I swore I wasn’t going to do this trend. I figured teachers thought it was a pain and I hate Dr Seuss books.

Then my cousins, both of whom are HS teachers, told me how much they love writing in and reading their students’ books and that I just HAD to do it.

Once I found other book options, I was into it! 😍 I have 3 kids and they all have different books.

❓Parents: do you do this for your own kids? What book do you use?
❓Teachers: how do you feel about writing in these books?

🗣️Comment below if want the link to my book list! 🔗

My two year old has been absolutely LOVING this type of book lately.

My husband made a comment one night that the baby loved “Stir, Crack, Whisk, Bake” and did I have anymore. HA! Does he even know who he’s married to?!

Now all of these are in heavy rotation during my son’s bedtime routine and it made me remember just how amazing they are for speech therapy!

I put together a list of all of my favorites in my Amazon storefront. Comment if you want the link! (Or screenshot/highlight/copy this: https://amzn.to/4bDTkjx
