Considerate Classroom Seasonal Handprints and AAC Ideas
Seasonal Handprint Painting Ideas for Pre-K Children + AAC Ideas
I am in the process of putting together a post about our classroom art center. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you will have to wait at least one more week for that post. In the meantime, I want to share this seasonal hand painting book idea before I miss the next three holidays!
The kids painted one page of this book every week from mid-October to Christmas break a few years ago. It was a fun counting, art and sensory project as the kids had their little hands painted with a brush to make the following designs.
So without further ado...I give you "Look What My Fingers Can Do!"

The Speech Room News
1. Talk with the teacher. If you have a clear plan on what you want and what the teacher wants out of inclusion, it will work out well. Know in advance what will be going on in class when you are in there. Have the teacher share her lesson plans with you (I get them emailed to me weekly) or even better, plan together.
2. Be flexible. Days can be unpredictable, we all know that. Be flexible and understanding when the teacher has a special activity or is running late in his or her daily schedule.
3. Make sure the teacher is aware of the students’ IEP goals. This way he or she can find the best time available for you to work with the students you share. For example, if you are working on comprehension goals, literacy centers or the reading block may be a great time for you to come in.
4. Make sure the teacher is aware of your job description. This may sound silly, but if he or she doesn’t truly know what your job entails, you may end up being the “tutor” in the classroom. Make sure the teacher is aware of your purpose in their classroom.
5. Be creative! I have found that teachers love when I add something to a lesson or send something to them that I have used before that relates to their lesson. As SLP’s we tend to look at everything through a “language lens” We often see a way to present information and look at things differently.

Speech Sprouts Blog is so Cute!
So here are my tips for therapy planning:
Click here Speech Sprouts
1. Plan for high-interest themes and activities in speech therapy.
When students are engaged, therapy becomes a breeze and a pleasure. I love themes, it keeps me interested too! We'll be thinking about yellow school buses, apples, owls, monsters, spiders, pumpkins and turkeys this fall.
2. Use visuals whenever possible!
So many of our students with language delays are not strong auditory learners. Visuals can really help.

WEBINAR - Plays Well With Others: The Ethics of Interprofessional Collaboration

Plays Well With Others: The Ethics of Interprofessional Collaboration
 Interprofessional collaboration has become accepted as an important component of educational and healthcare environments, with a positive impact on the quality of services provided. However, when different professionals work together, challenges often arise, such as poor understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the various team members, power dynamics, poor communication, and conflicts over differing approaches to intervention. Participants will review suggested competencies for ethical decision -making when working with others. This session will primarily focus on the code of ethics found in TAC 741, Chapter 22, subchapter D. Some ethical issues addressed in this presentation relate to both Texas law and the ASHA code of ethics (e.g., conflict of interest, delegation of tasks, accurate documentation, and remuneration). |

Using Disney to Encourage Communication & Engagement
Using Disney to Encourage Communication & Engagement http://blog.asha.org/
The book describes how Owen, who stopped speaking at 3, memorized dozens of Disney movies, finding in them a pathway to language and a framework for making sense of the world. The family was forced to become animated characters, communicating with Owen in Disney dialogue and song.
