May 10, 2012 in doing. Tags: evidence based practice. It’s Better Speech and Hearing Month and I have been trying to reflect on things about what I do in my profession to make things. Where do I even begin? I love my job and what I do and I don’t mind spending a. 1) First, I look through my grad school notes. I read the Facts again. I also skim for names of specific authors and/or studies that I can then search through the ASHA. Website, or, try to access the articles through the library at work. 3) If I...

Roughing It | The SLPing SLP
https://slpingthroughit.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/roughing-it
March 10, 2012 in thinking. Some weeks just come up to you and punch you in the face. I still don’t know what happened, but I know I have a lot of planning to do. I have a few patients who require additional set-up and break-down time and I am struggling to work this into my schedule without throwing off other parts of my schedule that are already established. Plus I need to find some very simple hands-on craft activities and learn All The Baby Signs. ALL OF THEM. Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center.

Break | The SLPing SLP
https://slpingthroughit.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/break
May 31, 2012 in doing. I have been pondering on and off this past week what to write in my final post on what makes me a ‘better’ clinician. Initially, I was annoyed that I was even thinking about it. I had taken a long weekend off, away from work, and so I was trying. To think about work. And then it all became very obvious. Breaks make me a better clinician! Why is it so hard to focus on researching patient histories? Where did I put that…I’ve been acting goofy all weekend. Whyyyy am I soooo busyyyyy?

Excite | The SLPing SLP

May 18, 2012 in thinking. There are moments in the madness that it is worthwhile to remember the joy in SLPing. The excitement of starting a new patient and thinking of the potential he/she holds. The excitement of being a hop, skip, and jump away from discharging a client you have had for years. The excitement of a patient making progress on the one goal you’ve been working on. The hilariousness of stuff my kids say. Watching the wonderful, heart-warming interactions of supportive families. Enter your c...

May 1, 2012 in doing. Tags: getting on with it. Happy Better Speech and Hearing Month. Where did April go? Did I even post in April? Was ridiculously busy for me. April was simply a mad rush to May at work and my schedule was wide open. Wide. Open. In any case, April is over, Better Speech and Hearing Month. Is here. In honor of “better,” I’m going to list some things I feel accomplished about this past. I learned how to place a trachoesophageal prosthesis. I interpreted two FEES. PDF List of Hi-Low Books.

Special | The SLPing SLP
https://slpingthroughit.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/special
March 29, 2012 in thinking. Tags: evidence based practice. There is a lot of variety in speech-language pathology. One can specialize by population (adults versus pediatrics; and even pediatrics can be broken down into birth to three, early childhood, and school-age), or by disorder (although jobs that focus on even one or two disorders are more difficult to come by). I am undecided on this question. I do not want to accuse therapists who. What do you think? Is it better to be a sort of SLP-of-all-trades?

Stop. Advocate. | The SLPing SLP
https://slpingthroughit.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/stop-advocate
June 4, 2012 in doing. You can get the full run-down at the ASHA. Website, but the basic run-down is that Congress wants to cut funding for IDEA. Because…I don’t know. It creates jobs or something? Early intervention probably isn’t important anyway, right? Or maybe it’s because public schools are drowning in a sea of cash. In any case, it’s cutting funding for school programs that usually need more money, not less. Oh, and keeps us employed. So go write to your Senator and/or Representative. Fill in your...
