I was recently asked by a college freshman to complete a survey about my life as a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). I realized how incredibly lucky I am to have a career as an SLP. I found my dream career right out of the gate. How many graduates can say the same? There are so many students entering university without a clue about what to do or where to start. It can be a daunting process. I can’t recommend a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist more! It is so rewarding and offers so much flexibility. Although most of our followers are already SLPs, I hope that sharing this survey might help an #SLP2BE out there.

You might realize by now that Jen and I share a love for targeting language and literacy in our therapy sessions! I wanted to share my favorite new tool that I use to target speech, language, and literacy- the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues . I am not joking when I say I use these cards EVERY SINGLE DAY! There are so many different ways to cue our children in sessions but I find that these cards are simple and memorable. I use them for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Articulation Disorders, Language Disorders, and early literacy.
