Happy to Be an SLP Blog Hop

Welcome to the Better Hearing & Speech Month Blog Hop!  To celebrate BHSM, my bloggy friends and I created some informative and fun posts to increase awareness and chat about some of the topics in our fabulous field.  :)

So grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that's your thing) and settle down to hop through the blogs and find out some good information to share with your friends, teachers, and parents.  At the end of the hop you'll be able to enter to win some A-Mazing prizes!  To participate just follow the picture links and grab a code letter.  The letters on each blog will spell out a secret code, which you'll need to use for the giveaway at the end.  

Now, I made a little video for my BHSM post!  I'll be talking a little about tips for teachers and parents when dealing with kids who exhibit language learning disorders.  Check it!

Well, I hope that was helpful to you!  Thanks so much for watching and enjoy the hop!  

Here's my letter code!

BHSM is Here with a FREEBIE!!

Sorry I've been a little MIA lately.  It's spring...which means SHOWER planning time!  One thing you should know about me is that I have become the QUEEN of showers and parties.  I usually plan at least 5 a year, and of course all around the same time.  I actually have 3 scheduled for this May.  What can I say?  All my friends love to get married and have babies haha.

Of course, May is also Better Hearing and Speech Month!  I thought I'd share a few activities that I'm doing at my school.  Have a looksy!

First, I created a little "Did you know" wall in the main entryway at school, since I didn't have much bulletin board space to work with.  I just printed out some interesting stats and cutesied them up, then attached them to the wall with teacher tape.

Next, I made several bookmarks that include tips for teachers on articulation, language, fluency, and hearing loss.  I plopped these in the teacher's lounge free for the taking!

You can make some of your own too!  Just download this printable freebie HERE, punch a hole in the top, and attach ribbon or yarn.  I had a lot of yarn on hand, so I just used that.

Lastly, I found some oh-so-fabulous free printables from Heather's Speech Therapy.  You should totally head over to her blog and check them out.  So fun!

I attached her vocal hygiene printables to tiny water bottles and will put them in the teacher's boxes for a little treat.

I also printed the noise-induced hearing loss printable to little baggies of ear-plugs to put in the their boxes for next week.

I hope my teachers like some of these fun tips!  Anyway, what do you think?  How are y'all celebrating Better Hearing and Speech Month??
