Talking Bear Speech is officially 2 years old today! 🎉 (and I am officially 31🤭) I can’t believe it.

What an absolutely amazing journey this has been so far! Before starting this practice, I was feeling burnt out and knew I needed a change. I never could’ve dreamed where I’d be 2 years later.

This business has given me the opportunity to be my best professional self while still being in control of my work life balance.

Thank you times a million to all of those who have supported me along the way🤍🤍🤍

📣📣Special announcement time 📣📣

I’m opening an office space‼️

I can’t believe it. Almost exactly 2 years ago I filed for my LLC and I can’t believe this is where we are 2 years later. Words can’t express my gratitude to all my clients, past and present. I wouldn’t be here without you 🥹🥹

I officially move in next week and I am so incredibly excited! ✨

Summer spots are filling up quickly! 🌞

If your child won’t be receiving speech through the school during summer, private therapy is a great option to keep working towards their goals! ✨

If your child has a current IEP, we can go off of those goals so an evaluation isn’t required!

Reach out with any questions!✨✨

I was on podcast! ✨

This was recorded over a year ago so a lot has changed but it’s fun to take a look back to where I was at this time! I’ve learned so much, made lots of mistakes all while really loving building my practice. It’s been quite the ride and I’m still figuring it out as I go but I’m so happy I made the leap. In this episode we talk about my grad school days and what led me to where I am now.

We will record an update soon to discuss what has changed since this was recorded!

Go give it a listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts ✨✨

Tomorrow is my 30th birthday and 1 year of Talking Bear!! 💃🏼

I can’t believe it! I am so incredibly grateful for all of the support. To my clients past and present, thank you for giving me the opportunity to come into your home and lives to work with your little one. 🥲

Starting this practice is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and my career. I never would’ve dreamed that 1 year in I would’ve quit my job to pursue this full time.

I’ve had so many SLPs message me about starting their own practice and all I can say is, do it! I love going to work every day and that is a priceless feeling. ✨

Can’t wait to see what the future holds for Talking Bear, thank you times a million for following along on this journey🐻 ❤️

Getting a speech evaluation for your child can feel like a very overwhelming process 😵‍💫

Here are some things you can expect during a speech evaluation for your child. It’s important to remember that I never go into a home expecting a child to “perform” or do everything we may ask of them ✨

Sometimes kids barely come near me during an evaluation and that’s totally ok! It takes a while for some children to get comfortable with a new person❤️

My general process for evaluations:

1. Parent interview- this is where I get more in depth case history information, discuss concerns, and get an overall feel of what a family is looking for 📝

2. Observation- While I’m asking questions, I’ll also be observing the child to see how they are playing, how they interact with the parent, what they’re interested in, etc. 👀

3. Therapist-child interaction - Next I will interact and play with the child and take note of their play skills, ability to follow directions during play, and how they communicate during play. PLAY is the key word here! 🫧

4. Testing of specific skills - I usually get most information from the above steps but I also use informal testing measures and will ask parents if the child can do a specific skill or I will try to elicit the skill from the child. A lot of times, kids don’t like to “perform” on command so I go off of parent report. Again, your child does not need to “perform” in any way! We get a lot of great info just from playing with the child📚

5. Results and recommendations - The final step is going over all the results from the evaluation and discussing my recommendations. We go over any questions and discuss what therapy sessions would look like☀️
