There are days when it seems as though every body has an app…There are apps to find cheap gas, apps to find restaurants, and apps to find apps .
Even the school where I work recently released an app so we had all things related to the school at our fingertips. Every body has an app! So it isn’t really a surprise that ASHA has an app.
(And don’t you dare just click-through this post just because it has to do with ASHA! It’s worth reading…really!) Continue reading
It’s the second Tuesday of the month – which means it’s time for Blogging About Research. Today’s research will follow a similar format (I think) to last month; although, to be fair, I reserve the right to make [side excursions] as I often think out loud while typing. Don’t forget to read the compilation of all the article reviews from participating bloggers here.
Today’s research article comes from the Canadian Speech Language Hearing Association’s (CASLPA) journal the Canadian Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (CJSLPA). I have to say, I love this journal.
Every once in a while I stumble upon or get led to a great little app that I just have to share with you. This app is one of those… Continue reading
If anyone who actually knows me reads this article, they are going to laugh. A more accurate name might be Adventures in Unfitness. However, through social media, all things must change.
Even me…and I am proud to announce…
It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month, which means it’s time for Blogging About Research! Today’s review will follow a similar (although I reserve the right to change it slightly) format to the previous blogging about research which you can find here and of course, you can read the compilation of blogs here.
So…Let’s get started!
I haven’t done an app review for a while, so when Super Duper offered to let me Kangaroo Island: Photo Classifying, I jumped at the chance.
There are only a few things in life that are certain. Death – no one gets out alive…Taxes – we all have to pay them….and CEUs -we all need them. 
But, one of the cool things, is that while ASHA tells us we have to have some many – they don’t tell us how we have to get them. Conferences are wonderful but not always at a good time, or they are too expensive, or the speakers aren’t always who we want to listen to. Online CEUs are convenient, usually reasonably priced, but you don’t get the discussion aspect of it so it sort of leaves a person feeling…unfulfilled.
Several of the SLPs on twitter were discussing this concern…and we hit upon a brilliant plan…and I don’t say that lightly! Continue reading
When a group of school-based SLPs get together, there are a few things that will happen for certain.
First, they will talk non-stop. That’s what we do and I have yet to see an SLP that doesn’t love language and the use of it. Continue reading
The posts are compiled and ready to be read.
Rachel over at Talks just Fine (whose great idea this was) has compiled all the posts. Check them out here.

Happy reading! Be sure to check back here for other posts…and of course, in just under a month for the next set of research articles to be reviewed.
The format for the article reviews will be a bit different than typical. Hopefully they will still be easy to read…and fun. Well, as fun as one can make article reviews. Okay…Not fun at all, but come on, they’re an integral part of our career choice. There will, most likely, be little add-on comments because sometimes I just can’t stop myself. They will be in brackets [with italics]…for the most part. Well, except for the end where it’s ALL my discussion. Here we go! 
Synopsis: The purpose of the research was to determine if the sound error patterns in preschool-age children predicts articulation and phonological awareness skills at school-age. Continue reading
