As many of you know, I have presented at various state conferences on using apps in therapy – and comparing or showcasing apps so people can see what they’re really like without laying out a wad of cash.

SLPChat is Back!!
I LOVE seeing that the #SLPChats are starting up again! I sincerely hope all of you are able to participate in some way.

So, while I had time, I dusted off some research files and started reading…This one I read, really resonated with me and I decided I’d make it the first blog of the new year.
