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

What better time to reflect on a career in Speech-Language Pathology than Better Hearing and Speech Month! This year heralds my 34th year in this field and it has been a storied career. 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”

The Rockin' Tale of Snow White Meets CCC-SLP

Well it seems I have taken the month of April off from blogging. It wasn’t intentional (it usually isn’t, is it?). Spring in New England isn’t really the stuff of spring. There are glimpses here and there, but overall it is dreary. I expect spring to be chirping birds and daffodils and unfortunately in NewContinue reading “The Rockin' Tale of Snow White Meets CCC-SLP”

I am Not Superpowered!

I can’t explain it. I have had a very, very busy year with no less than six evaluations pending at a time and I have been coping quite well. Two weeks ago…BAM! Leading up to my proverbial “hitting of the wall,” we had been coordinating a two-day NHSLHA Spring Conference and rehearsals for our middleContinue reading “I am Not Superpowered!”

Teamwork: The Blessings and Challenges

As professionals, members of families and communities we frequently engage in activities that require group dynamics. Whether you are coming together to raise funds for a new playground or church or to put on a production or event, you are working with individuals with their own experiences and backgrounds. Those experiences invariably shape their thinking,Continue reading “Teamwork: The Blessings and Challenges”

Meeting 2017 in a Word

I did it again! I got caught up in the Christmas season! YAY! As a result, my blog went dark for a month. I can say with certainty, that I missed it! This simple little blog has become for me an exercise in expression, a creative outlet and a source of professional outreach. I amContinue reading “Meeting 2017 in a Word”

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”

Supporting One Another: The Power of Encouragement

This post has been on my mind since July. I have hemmed and hawed about writing it, and then thought, “It’s time.” I’ve been contemplating what support looks like in our profession. As speech-language pathologists we are 100% behind our students. We go the extra mile, we devote our time, energy and talents to helpingContinue reading “Supporting One Another: The Power of Encouragement”

From Those to Whom Much has Been Given

My Teachers Pay Teachers Store is sort of a snoozer, in large part because it is my red-headed stepchild. Doyle Speech Works, the store has 52 products, some of them lovely little gems, but they are not big sellers. I am not a big materials creator nor am I a stellar marketer. I create thingsContinue reading “From Those to Whom Much has Been Given”
