Tip Tuesday: Early Signs/Symptoms of Possible ASD
Over the years I have interviewed many parents of children with ASD and have found a few commonalities in behaviors they had noticed somewhat early on (within the first year of their child’s life) that had them questioning if there was a problem. Often times, as the old story goes, they brought up these concerns […]
Tip Tuesday: Reaching the Withdrawn or Non-responsive ASD Child!
I’ve spent years enjoying my time working with the most withdrawn and isolated children with ASD. You know the ones I’m talking about. The most significantly delayed child. The non-verbal child who is so immersed in his or her own world of idiosyncratic behaviors that they appear to be oblivious to others. I write “appear” because […]
Tip Tuesday: Practical Ways to Meet Sensory Needs in Speech Therapy!
Last week we touched base on WHY we should learn about our student’s sensory needs, what sensory processing disorder (SPD) is and how it can affect behavior and learning. Now the question remains, now that we know why types of processing deficits our students have, what do we do about it? When we talk […]
Tip Tuesday: “Talking and Seeing” Techniques!
For my students who struggle with working memory, I tend to notice that many of these children have a difficult time “playing the movie” of what they have heard or read in their heads. When we read a book, we have a visual, what I like to call “a movie” playing, where we can visually […]

For those of you familiar with auditory […]
Tip Tuesday: Visual Memory Activities!
Last week I introduced the topic of working with students with memory issues. It is my firm belief that not only can we help these students but we are uniquely qualified to do so in order to improve any underlying or comorbid communication deficits that are present. But how do we go about it? Where […]
Tip Tuesday: Can We as SLPs work on Memory?
Ok I’ve read several threads on speech therapy pages discussing how our scope of practice as SLPs do not “cover” working on memory skills. “It’s a psychologist and the special educator’s job. It’s not my problem. Dismiss.” Hold on there buckaroos! I am going to beg to differ here for a few reasons. We have […]
SLPs Reviews Website
It’s month #2 of our Frenzied SLPs launch and this month’s theme is all about the things we “love”! Since this is the month we celebrate those we love, how about I share with you something that I am currently loving in the SLP world. I am LOVING the concept of the SLPs Reviews webpage. […]
Tip Tuesday: Myth: 3 years old is too young to work on fluency!
After so many years of research to the contrary, I’m still surprised this myth continues to live on in the speech community. “Three years old is too young to work on fluency” is a myth that has been dispelled time and time again with the use of various treatment programs, family education and community-based services. So […]
