I’m so excited to have been asked to be a part of “The Frenzied SLP<\/a>” group to bring you helpful tips throughout the year to stay #SLPstrong, and excited to bring you my first post with these wonderful ladies, as well! <\/span>

<\/span>The best thing I learned this summer… Well, I’ve learned a lot of things this summer– like painting a fence by hand with a paintbrush is awful, and that potty training male puppies takes significantly longer than it does with females, for example. <\/span>
<\/span>But, the BEST<\/b><\/i> thing I learned this summer? <\/span>
<\/span>The best thing I learned this summer was how to find my balance<\/i><\/b> between being an SLP, and being a person outside of an SLP.<\/span>
<\/span>The end of last school year was tough. I really struggled the last couple months of school. I had a higher caseload than I’d ever had before, with more significant-needs students than I’d ever had before, and had more meetings in the span of two months than I had ever had before. 58 meetings in 60 days– YIKES! Tons of evals from screenings and Infant\/Toddler transitions, and a plethora of annual IEP meetings rolled into kindergarten transition meetings for many of my students in those last two months.<\/span>
