Musings on blending speech-language pathology and life. Sunday, January 25, 2015. The Emperor Wears Clothes. My first foray into the blogging world was in July 2014. Yes, I am a blogger newbie. What is most important about this is not how long I've blogging, but why I began blogging! My desire to share my thoughts and ideas about my life and profession came on the heels of my completion of the ASHA Leadership Development Program. I thought, "Why not? I zipped out to California on Wednesday for a two-day ...

When I read about a veteran SLP who weeps the first week of school because she feels powerless to help her students, I ask, "Why? When I read of a young SLP who is reprimanded for having a pile of papers waiting to be sorted through, in the corner of a room, I ask, "Why? I don't pretend to have the answers, but I believe it is time to rally! Want to rock the boat?

Musings on blending speech-language pathology and life. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Interview With a Speech-Language Specialist: Part 6 of the Blog Chronicles. Where has the month gone?

Musings on blending speech-language pathology and life. Monday, July 27, 2015. The Frenzied SLPs: SLP Strong. I have a reading problem! Now that doesn't mean exactly how it sounds. I love puns and double entendre, so my problem isn't truly with reading, it's with not. Now some may think I'm a baaaaaad Mommy, but I prefer to think of it as modeling a lifelong appreciation of reading! I have a pile of great reads for this summer: The Girl on the Train. I decided to start with The Hobbit. And the Two Towers.

Don't misunderstand, I feel blessed to have seven weeks of vacation. To remain well. As a whole, speech-language pathologists ...
