A Letter to Me…as a New SLP-A Frenzied SLP Linky

It’s hard for me to even imagine that it is winding down. I still have at least four years to work, butContinue reading “A Letter to Me…as a New SLP-A Frenzied SLP Linky”

It's Spring! Fresh Ideas for Speech Therapy

I used to love spring when I lived in NJ. The daffodils and crocuses would lift their sunny heads and the weather would warm up. Spring in NH is not nearly as nice. In fact, yesterday, the 24th of March, we got eight inches of snow. Earlier in the week we had indoor recess, becauseContinue reading “It's Spring! Fresh Ideas for Speech Therapy”

Letters to Those Who Inspire Us: a Frenzied SLP Linky

I have recently had an opportunity to write a “palanca letter.” Palanca means lever in Spanish and is intended to uplift the recipient. They are often written to those who are on retreat or a journey, often spiritual, but frequently just life changing. I wondered why it would take a big event for me toContinue reading “Letters to Those Who Inspire Us: a Frenzied SLP Linky”

My SLP Story

A little over one year ago, I published a post entitled What’s the Story, Annie?  I encouraged other SLPs to link up and share their stories as our experiences influence what we think, feel and do. At the time no one linked up. Perhaps my timing was off. No, let me reframe that, perhaps IContinue reading “My SLP Story”

The Frenzied SLPs are on the Downhill Slide

It’s that time of year for school-based SLPs, where a visual reminder to “breathe in, breathe out, and repeat” becomes all too necessary. The Frenzied SLPs are joining forces once again to offer suggestions as to how to make the end of the school year more manageable. Thank you to this month’s frenzied hostesses Tracy,Continue reading “The Frenzied SLPs are on the Downhill Slide”

Taking Therapy Outside

It is finally starting to look like Spring in NH! It was a fairly mild winter in terms of snow, but the rain!  There was some serious cabin fever happening in my speech room this winter! With the weather improving it is a perfect time for a change of therapy venue and the Frenzied SLPsContinue reading “Taking Therapy Outside”

My Top 6 Home Hacks: A Linky

This may sound surprising; I have some quirks! While some of my quirks may be just a bit annoying, I prefer to think that they are merely what makes me, me. I beep under tunnels for good luck, I find moths truly disturbing, and don’t like old kitchen sponges. My other quirks can be viewedContinue reading “My Top 6 Home Hacks: A Linky”
