But really it does give me some of the same feelings of when I went door to door selling Girl Scout cookies as a kid 😆

However, it’s worth it if it helps me find patients & serve them in the best way I can as their speech therapist!

Reach out to today for all your speech therapy needs!

In today’s world 🌎, joint attention is HARD. Even as an adult.

✨So what can I do as a parent to help my child learn joint attention? ✨

-Begin to verbalize what it looks like your child may be feeling or needing to help bring awareness to it ➡️ “Oh, you are feeling wiggly? Looks like you need a break. Let’s go outside!”

-Then, engage in play with them. Get eye level with them & teach them how to play more functionally with their toys to sustain attention for longer periods. Take turns. Encourage them. Set a timer for 2 minutes and when it goes off, take a break!

-With time, you may notice you can increase the time on the timer or you may notice you don’t even need it at all! This means your child is beginning to learn self-regulation & joint attention without your help & is well on his/her way to intentional communication.

✨Still feel like your child needs more support in joint attention & language learning? ✨ Call today!

People ask me all the time where I actually do speech therapy as a community-based Speech Pathologist & to be honest the list is endless!

My favorite place to do speech therapy is where my patient feels the most comfortable … whether that’s at home or at chick fil a 🍟😆

Take a look into some of our feeding therapy sessions lately! 🍽️

This patient has been working on growing his repertoire of fruits, so we had a great time building a snake 🐍 with strawberries 🍓 & bananas 🍌 in one session & introduced kiwi 🥝 with the other fruits in the next session while building a castle 🏰!

By the end of these low pressure & fun feeding sessions, this patient had touched, peeled, cut (with supervision 😊)and even licked these fruits without protest!

Let me know if you’re interested in our fruit recipes below 👇🏼 & I’ll share them with you!

If you are a SLP who has always wondered what ASHA convention was really like… this video is for you! 🗣️

This year I decided to stop wondering what ASHA was all about & finally go! It was in Washington D.C. 🇺🇸this year & it overlapped with one of my bestie’s work trips (shout out to ) who just also happens to be a travel agent. She knew all the places we had to see in D.C. so my husband tagged along & we went for it!

It was a blast but also so exhausting! After 2 days of sightseeing, I went to ASHA on day 2 of the conference. I crammed in 6 continuing education courses in one day & saw as much as I could from the exhibit hall. I walked A LOT but also learned A LOT. I made friends along the way (other SLPs are so friendly!) & enjoyed picking sessions specific to my caseload. I would for sure go again (but maybe in a few years!)

Some tips & tricks I learned⬇️
- wear walking shoes and layers! Some rooms were cold and some were warm.
- don’t try to see everything in the exhibit hall all at once. Take several breaks there throughout the day.
- 1️⃣ day is enough! While the convention is a 3 day event, 1 day was enough for me (and cheaper!)
-download the conference app when you register & make your schedule ahead of time on the schedule builder.
-use all the perks ASHA offers when you register, such as cheaper hotels and flights!
-it’s not weird to go by yourself! I met a lot of new people!

Need another craft idea for the season with high trials for articulation!? 🦃

Try my turkey puppet! Each time we folded a feather (paper), we said a word/phrase toward his or her goal, and we wrote the target words on the feathers as they were said so the patient could practice at home 🏠 later!

What you need⬇️
•cardboard (I used old Amazon boxes) cut into circles
•scissors✂️
•popsicle sticks or tongue depressors
•tape/glue (tape worked better for me!)
•color cardstock paper
•pen/marker to draw eyes 👀 & write target words

Let me know if you try it out!
