Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and thoughts turn to flowers, chocolates, jewelry and oh yes, sadness, disappointment, expectations. The Frenzied SLPs thought we would explore Valentine’s Day from a different perspective; that of the SLP and how there are times “love hurts” quite literally. If you are anything like me you take your job toContinue reading “Love Hurts”

One Craftivity; Many Goals
I mentioned in a previous post my student “Joy,” who keeps me on my therapeutic toes. You can read about my experiences with her here.

Meeting 2016 in a Word From the Frenzied SLPs
My last blog post was December 5, 2015! I am a fairly committed one blog a week sort of gal, however I unintentionally unplugged for a month.

Middle School: Materials and Motivators
My first job as an SLP in 1983 was in a high school. I was 22 years old and my students were 18 years old! Believe me when I say I felt in over my head.

Ahoy! Talk Like a Pirate Day is Upon Us!!
Back to school has absolutely capsized me! While I was actually looking forward to a calm return, it just didn’t pan out that way.
