In honor of Speech-Language-Hearing Month, here is some information related to common inquiries about the virtual speech-language services provided through My Speech Buds.

1) Virtual speech-language services are evidence-based and sessions can address a variety of client needs including: articulation, language, phonics/reading, stuttering, AAC use, and cognitive communication.
2) Assessment information through My Speech Buds and/or other speech-language facilities is utilized to compile a treatment plan. Goals are discussed with the client and family in order to ensure treatment assists with improving academic and/or life skills.
3) I currently accept clients ages 4+ for assessments and therapy sessions via the virtual platform. Evaluations and treatment sessions are individualized and focus on the main concerns of the client and family.
4) A computer/device, stable internet, and a quiet learning space are the main requirements for clients to successfully participate in virtual speech-language services.
5) The amount of time clients remain in therapy depends on an individual’s needs. Each client is different but consistent communication with the client, family, and speech-language provider can assist with the process yielding wonderful results!

Please reach out via messenger, email, or phone if you are considering speech-language services at this time. I will be happy to help!

May is Speech-Language-Hearing Month!

Here is some information about the LANGUAGE part of speech-language services.

What does language entail?

If you notice your child having difficulties following directions, comprehending stories, describing storybook or real-life events, and/or experiencing difficulties with social cues or participating in conversations – these may be indicators of language difficulties.

RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE: Understanding of age-appropriate vocabulary terms, following directions
EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE: Using appropriate grammar/sentence structures, being able to effectively convey meaningful stories
SOCIAL-PRAGMATIC LANGUAGE: Interpreting social cues/facial expressions, appropriately participating in conversations

Speech-language services can assess and address difficulties in these areas. These skills are essential in order to communicate within everyday life.

If you have any questions about your child's speech-language abilities, please contact My Speech Buds via Messenger or by email: msb@myspeechbuds.com to schedule a free consultation.

Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day!

As I wrap up my workday and write this post, I can’t help but reflect on my career. I still can’t believe that I made the leap to private practice a few years ago and continue to work with wonderful families!

In order to create this post, I looked up pictures I had from room décor to speech therapy materials, and I found this picture. It’s a photo of the first mousepad that I used as a speech-language pathologist. I remember my parents gave me that mousepad after I graduated, and we were all very excited about the start of my career.

Prior to and during my time in college, my mother was the person who found information about speech-language pathology and it checked all of the boxes.
1) I wanted to work with and help people.
2) I wanted a job that made a positive impact.
3) I wanted a profession that gave me stability.

Upon investigating the profession, I observed a school-based SLP. She was wonderful and the observation was great; however, the story that REALLY convinced me was about a child that had stated “speech” was a place where they belonged. I am not an impulsive person (by any means) but that story instantly convinced me that I had to pursue this field.

Fast forward a few years, I ended up working in that same school where I had observed and heard that story. I worked in a few different schools as well as met and worked with fantastic families and colleagues.

Fast forward again, I established a private practice with God's guidance and the support and love of my amazing husband and family. I continue to work with amazing families!

Every profession has its pros and cons; however, I truly think (and I am biased) that speech-language pathology is one of the best professions! I have the pleasure of working with wonderful individuals and families as well as have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.

If you know a speech-language pathologist, ask them about their work. I’m certain they will have great things to say!

Good Friday is upon us, and we await the risen Lord. I always feel that the world is quieter on Good Friday. There is an air of calm, mourning, and quiet anticipation.

God sacrificed His only Son in order to provide redemption for all of us – imperfect and flawed people. We can only receive eternal life with the Lord through His love and mercy. Jesus endured a brutal death in order for us to be saved!

I encourage you to pray for ways in which you show a portion of the love that God shows for us to others. Is it through simple kindness or a larger sacrifice? How can you enact His Will and provide love to others?

Awaiting for the celebration of our risen Lord!

Blessings to all!

My Speech Buds had a secret but now the news is out!

One of my goal’s when starting My Speech Buds was to use this platform to praise God and spread His Word. I will continue to speak about God through the My Speech Buds pages, BUT I also made a page devoted solely to His Word and messages.

I invite everyone to follow My Spiritual Buds in order to receive more content about God’s love, Word, and guidance. I look forward to journeying with everyone in pursuit of God’s Word.

Blessings to all!

Today is the first Friday in Lent. This is a time to reflect on the Lord and His love for us. It is time to sacrifice and improve, to allow Him to guide us, and to find ways to better serve Him in our daily lives. We are reminded that, although we fall, God continues to support us – we must keep returning to Him, His guidance, and His love.

What will you challenge yourself to improve during this Lenten season? Spend time in His word and reflect on the things you can improve in life. Allow times of quiet to receive His help and guidance with these struggles.

Blessings to all!
