January 23, 2012 10:00 AM by Alexandra Streeter
I was hoping to share some photos of bulletin boards in response to my last blog, "Ideas Needed: Bulletin Board!" in today's post, but I didn't get any pictures. I did, however, get some great ideas in the comments section! If you are interested, check Read More...

A Lack of Autism Training
January 18, 2012 9:15 AM by Valerie Lill
To date, my graduate student extern (referred to as "student teacher" from here on out for the sake of convenience) has been with me for two weeks now. I'm hoping she has learned a lot so far, as I know I have learned things from her already. Having a Read More...

Behavior Management Through Adventure
December 21, 2011 9:03 AM by Valerie Lill
Back at the start of the school year, I had mentioned four new therapy approaches I was trying this year. About a month ago I talked about one of them -- my use of adapted story books to build early literacy skills in students with moderate to severe Read More...

Book It, Part 18: A View from the Mind of...
December 19, 2011 9:00 AM by Sean Sweeney
Although this series has predominantly been about picture books that SLPs can utilize in language therapy, I suppose I am allowed to make some detours. I recently re-read one of my all-time favorite books, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Read More...

I am taking a brief departure from the soon-to-be-wrapped-up "Book It" series on using picture books in language interventions in order to report back from ASHA Convention in San Diego. I was super excited to attend this year's "Divas + One Players" Session: Read More...

I am happy to share some good news for those of you who have been following the Speech in the Schools Blog over the past year. Last October in a blog post I recommended a book called "The Spooky House of Horror" by Charles Fuge, Ian Craig and Ron Van Read More...

Foamy, Fuzzy, and Bumpy Books!
October 26, 2011 8:30 AM by Valerie Lill
A couple of blogs ago, I wrote about several new therapy techniques/strategies/programs that I was trying with my students this year. Now that it is nearly the end of the first marking period (Friday!), I think I've had enough time and experience trialing Read More...

Book It, Part 15- Enjoy the Story of a Garden
October 24, 2011 8:58 AM by Sean Sweeney
With Halloween coming next week, Pumpkin Circle is a picture book you might want to consider using in your therapy. Pumpkins are a surprisingly rich context for eliciting language! Kids love them, and in a way, they are fruit, an activity (carving jack Read More...

This Conference Was a Winner!
October 12, 2011 8:49 AM by Valerie Lill
I typically don't use my blog to "advertise" a particular therapy approach or a speaker. I am completely in favor of the "eclectic" approach to speech-language therapy. I take bits and pieces from a variety of therapy interventions/approaches/strategies Read More...

September 26, 2011 8:20 AM by Sean Sweeney
One of the best ways an SLP in a public school setting can align with classroom contexts is to use picture books related to key curriculum topics. In doing so, we can do interactive read-alouds and emphasize categories, sentence and grammatical structures, Read More...

New School Year, New Ideas
September 14, 2011 9:00 AM by Valerie Lill
It certainly has been a busy (and a bit unusual) start to the school year! If the weather around here lately is any indication of what the winter and the rest of the school year is going to be like, we're in trouble! Since I've gone back to school , we've Read More...

Book It, Part 12: Revving up the Actions!
September 12, 2011 10:10 AM by Sean Sweeney
Developing story grammar can have many great intentional side effects that would not occur if we are only focusing on the smaller (but important) things: vocabulary, morphemes, sentence structure. By aiming to develop story in our clinical work, we can Read More...

September 5, 2011 9:00 AM by Alexandra Streeter
In my last post, I talked about how I did a little bit of work in private practice and what I see as the advantages to keeping my day job in the schools! I wanted to share the expertise of Christopher Heistand, the SLP who started the clinic where I work Read More...

August 31, 2011 8:04 AM by Valerie Lill
Welcome back to school, fellow SLPs! Now, I realize if you are in other parts of the country, you might not start until after Labor Day, but where I live all the schools either started last week or this week. Either way - welcome back! I hope that all Read More...
