Hey guys! I wanted to give you a quick tour of my speech room. I'm pretty excited about my speech therapy room setup for this school year. Many of the labels, signs, and other speech room decor pieces are all part of my newest SLP Organization and Decor packet, which you can snag here at my TPT store! Speech Room Setup and Decor Tour I'm so excited to have you stop in! Come on, let's take a closer look... I wanted to go with a welcoming and exciting theme this year. It's exciting because it's travel-themed with a tagline of "communication takes you anywhere". I also love how calming the blue and green color combination feels! Make your first week in speech way less stressful with my Tic-Tac Dough Beginning of the Year Activities and my Would You Rather Questions ! Snag my free binder labels and spines for bundles here ! I can't wait- this year I have a specific place to put my draft reports. There will most certainly be interruptions throughout the...
We've all been there. Maybe you spent hours planning the "perfect" therapy idea, and it just blew up in your face. Maybe one your students reminded you, in case you forgot, that you always need to stay on your toes. Even the most experienced SLP has an "oops" moment from time to time. I'll start by sharing one of mine. I was a new graduate and working my CFY position. I was working in an outpatient setting, and had a patient scheduled who had already had an eval completed. As is usually the case, instead of the evaluation being mailed in beforehand, I had a whole 30 seconds to read up on the patient while also doing a meet and greet.

(This was in my pre-TPT days, when I barely knew how to do anything on my computer beyond online shopping.) We sat down, I let him pick out a game, and I explained to him that he was to say three words before each tu...
CFY-SLP: the Survival Guide for Articulation You've finished grad school (or are just about to finish grad school) in Speech- Language Pathology. CONGRATS! Perhaps you've just started your new position, and you're pumped to be able to sign that CFY-SLP at the end of your name. You should be proud, because this is a huge accomplishment. Soon, you'll be managing your own caseload. With this comes a set of challenges, and unfortunately, your new employer isn't going to hand you the "how to" manual. I'd like to help you out there. When I started working, I encountered some pretty challenging articulation and phonological disorders cases. I spent hours doing the following things: scouring the internet for SLP posts about various subjects, taking CEUs, asking my colleagues for help. I was overwhelmed. I had a HUGE caseload, and I didn't know where to start. There was so much information out there, but not enough time in the day. Articulation and Phonolo...
