As a Frenzied SLP myself, I just realized that the 100th day of school is right around the corner (January 26, 2015 for me). As such, I thought I would share with you some of my FAVORITE 100th day ideas in case you needed some last minute ideas!<br />
<br />
1. 100th day snack from <a href="http://smithsafari1.blogspot.com/2013/01/100-days-and-counting.html">http://smithsafari1.blogspot.com/2013/01/100-days-and-counting.html</a><br />
Be sure to double check each student on your caseload for possible food allergies!<br />

Children with Down Syndrome present with unique characteristics and challenges as compared to many of the different populations with whom I work in my school-based setting. Honestly, it is a population about whom I know little. Today, I have the incredible privilege of reviewing for you a product by Tatyana Elleseff MA CCC-SLP of Smart Speech Therapy LLC entitled <u>Comprehensive Assessment of Monolingual and Bilingual Children with Down Syndrome.</u><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's begin...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Overview</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tatyana's presentation is intended to assist the reader with the assessment of children, both monolingual and/or bilingual, with Down Syndrome. She details the specific speech-language deficits frequently observed in this population, and provides examples of how to document these deficits in written form to develop an appropriate plan of service in multiple target areas. It is intended, not only for speech-language pathologists, but for parents/caregivers and related professionals as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Down Syndrome: An Introduction</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For those of you like me who have little experience with this population, Tatyana begins by expertly describing the prevalence, general milestones, and specific impact of this disorder on the areas of feeding, oral sensitivity, swallowing, craniofacial anatomy, speech, voice, fluency and prosody, language (covering all components), and IQ. This information provided me with valuable background knowledge I was lacking, as I knew of speech-language deficits from my graduate work, but lack that same degree of detail with many of the other areas covered. She also detailed overall strengths and weaknesses typically displayed by this population. I know this summary was very beneficial for me in looking at how I could re-tailor how I work with this population. Now I know how to better use each student's strengths to work toward minimizing his/her weaknesses.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Assessments for Nonverbal and Limitedly Verbal Children with Down Syndrome</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you have difficulty assessing your children with Down Syndrome with traditional assessments? Me too :( You will absolutely treasure this section of Tatyana's presentation. Again, her attention to detail is impeccable as she explores assessment of each of the different facets of speech-language that should be considered/evaluated when working with this population. Assessments for both nonverbal and limitedly verbal children are explained in detail. Links to products are included for your convenience and some of these assessments are FREE! Yes, you heard me correctly, FREE! I have some experience with both the Augmentative & Alternative Communication Profile and the Communication Matrix and have used both with a variety of different populations, but I haven't yet used with children with Down Syndrome. It is definitely time for me to pull these tools from my toolbox as well as try new ones suggested by Tatyana. A quick summary of each is included to aid the clinician in selecting the most appropriate assessment(s) for the child in mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bilingualism</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being from a more rural area of northeast Indiana, bilingualism in my district, while present, is a very, very small percentage of my caseload. That being said, it is rarely a factor in the assessments I typically conduct. I appreciate all the efforts displayed by my colleagues in working with bilingual children. Tatyana specializes in the area of bilingualism, so I truly appreciate and respect her expertise in this area. Her analysis of factors to consider and how those factors shape the assessment process is an excellent resource to which I will refer in the future, should bilingualism be a consideration in a child for whom I am providing a speech-language evaluation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Evaluation Report Writing Considerations</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Report writing is by far one of the most challenging components of my job. I always err on the side of caution and include more information that what most would consider critical information. Call that a strength if you will, but it also makes for a long, detailed report for my readers. For anyone who struggles with this, or who just wants to improve his/her report writing skills, the samples included by Tatyana provide excellent examples of not only the areas to be included, but wording to be considered/used. I found her examples for the bilingual population to be an excellent resource should I switch settings or experience multiple students in the future for whom this is applicable. Not only are Tatyana's examples an excellent representation of information that should be considered/shared regarding children with Down Syndrome, they are an excellent model by which to write any evaluation report. In addition to the areas detailed above, Tatyana also provides examples for adaptive behavior and learning style, attention to task, and dynamic assessment, all of which are additional areas to consider. One could not ask for a more thorough representation/example of report writing for this intended population. Tatyana left no stone unturned!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Writing Therapy Goals</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another area equally challenging for myself as a fairly new clinician is goal writing, particularly for individuals who present with characteristics with which I am less familiar. Tatyana's section on writing appropriate goals is extremely thorough and an excellent reminder to any clinician of what to consider and/or include in writing meaningful, measurable goals. SMART, or Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound, should guide each and every goal that we write as clinicians. Tatyana provides the reader with both tips and specific examples for writing these SMART goals and includes both long-term goals and short-term objectives. An excellent resource to have available for any new student who crosses your path!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Resources</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What more can I say...you need this packet! The packet as a whole is a valuable resource for working with children with Down Syndrome. In addition, Tatyana has listed 3 pages of resources to aid all individuals who work with this population - links included. What are you waiting for?

While I see these posts roll around every month, today I am joining in the fun! (Life has been a bit hectic since starting a new position in the schools this year, so I apologize that it has taken me so long to hop on board) That being said, my lucky winner for this month is SLPeachy (coincidental??) for her comment on my Elementary My Dear Analogies Packet<br />

<b>Summer</b>...where did it go? For me, summer brought about BIG changes in my professional life as my journey to CCC-SLP finally came to an end! Summer also brought about a BIG change in my career path as well, as I accepted a position as an SLP in my children's school district (my DREAM JOB!). Having already completed my student teaching in this district, I am so very fortunate to be now be joining this amazing team of SLPs and working with students in the school setting again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The big question was...how do I transition from working in an outpatient pediatric clinic to working in the school setting? As of right now, I am still working toward a good answer to that question :) School starts Wednesday and I am right in the middle of planning and prepping for my new students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>Here are my top 10 tips for anyone preparing for their first year working in the schools</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. <b>Breathe: </b><b> </b>I have had to remind myself to do this several times. I am NOT one who likes change, but my friend Jennifer over at SLP Runner told me the other day that "Change is hard...but it's one of the secrets to a happy and fulfilling life". For me, this is so very true. Changing careers in my late 30s/early 40s, while scary, has been both exciting and fulfilling all at the same time! Just remember - you've got this!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. <b>Take one day at a time: </b>It is easy to get overwhelmed and caught up with all the things on your to-do-list. I know I have had several of those moments throughout the past couple of weeks. As with everything else in life, it WILL all get done - maybe not as quickly, or as smoothly as we'd like, but it will - just be patient!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. <b>Network, Network, Network: </b>I am so thankful for all of you with whom I can ask questions, collaborate, share stories and just laugh with - without all of you, this journey would be far more difficult and not nearly as much fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. <b>Be organized: </b>I know, easier said than done, right??!! I am a list maker for sure. This helps me to organize my thoughts and prioritize what needs to be done and when. Good 'ole paper and pencil work for best for me as I love the satisfaction of crossing things off my list - but if you are a gadget guru - kudos to you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>Use your resources: </b>With so many SLPs now blogging, it has been easy for me to gather helpful tips, check out speech room organizers/designs, find data sheets, and be reassured that I'm not alone in this venture! Thanks to all of my fellow SLP bloggers who find the time to share what works for them with all of us! So grateful for each and every one of you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b> Choose a theme: </b>For me, I decided on an outer space theme for my speech room. I wish I could share pictures with you, but it is still a work in progress - made a trip to the teacher supply store just a couple of hours ago...stay tuned! But honestly, it helped me plan out bulletin boards, speech room decor and gave me something to get excited about when I felt overwhelmed by all that still needs to be done. Update...here are some work in progress pictures of my new "space".</div>

Therapy Central! My room is pie shaped, so not a lot of extra room or wall space to decorate, but the rocket is by far one of the coolest decorations in my room! My "Welcome To Speech" get-to-know-you worksheets (see the link to that freebie below) are on the left and my super cool new TPT binder covers decorate the binders on the right! Also pictured are my Give Me 5 posters - also a freebie off TPT!</div>

4. <b>Take a tour and introduce yourself to other building personnel: </b>I was fortunate enough to schedule a time to meet with my principal prior to the first staff day. I was also lucky enough to meet the school secretary and head custodian - you'll definitely want to get to know all three as soon as possible! That is how I secured carts for moving in all of my supplies, was able to access my office when my key didn't work, and figured out how to get from point A to point B and back again through all of the hallways! I think the secretary is getting chocolate on Monday as a big thanks! It was a miracle that she was in the building on a Saturday afternoon at the same time I was! Thanks Lynda - you're the BEST!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>Take inventory: </b>The first thing I did before unpacking my personal speech materials was to take inventory of what was already on hand. Both my special education director and my principal offered to purchase materials I felt I might need, but I needed to know what I already had to make wise choices about what I needed. I was excited to find that a couple things on my list were already in my supply closet! I almost felt like a kid at Christmas sorting through all of my newly acquired materials! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Be PATIENT :) </b>With 3 days to go until school starts, I am still anxiously awaiting the awarding of my state teaching license...fortunately, I have 12 weeks after the start of school to initiate an emergency permit. This one goes hand-in-hand with taking things one day at a time. Patience is not one of my strong points, but it seems to be getting a little stronger every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...and last, but certainly not least...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>HAVE FUN!! </b>This is perhaps the most important tip for me personally! I sometimes get so caught up in the politics and planning and paperwork that it is easy for me to forget that I LOVE BEING AN SLP and I LOVE WHAT I DO! Don't EVER lose sight of that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully these tips prove worthwhile to those of you new to a school like I am - or at least gave you a good laugh if you've been in my shoes before! For sticking with me through that lengthy top 10 list, here is a freebie for you that I created. It is entitled "Welcome to Speech" My caseload is made up of both preschool and K-5th grade students. This is a little "get to know you" activity that will give me some great information from each of my students with which to plan therapy activities. You can get your copy in my TPT store by clicking <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Welcome-To-Speech-821044">here</a></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While this app isn't brand new to the
market, it is definitely one that is still talked about regularly among our fellow
SLPs. When I was recently given the opportunity to review it for you, I
JUMPED at the chance! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the versatility of this
app for use in speech therapy! It is appropriate for many different age
groups and the possibilities for addressing targeted skills in therapy are
virtually endless. If you can think up a goal, you can most likely address
it with this app. How about Articulation? Fluency? Language? Auditory Memory/Comprehension? Following Directions? Social Stories? You can
target each and every one of these areas with this one app and it is so easy to use!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

This 22-page unit addresses receptive language, expressive language and semantics! It is so versatile! You definitely won't want to miss out on getting a copy of this activity for your students!<br />
<br />
This packet includes:<br />
<br />
Summer vocabulary cards with matching pictures to address receptive language (blue and orange cards). I love these cards for my preschoolers who have difficulty identifying objects given a verbal description or for those just learning the concept, the option to use the orange picture cards as part of a matching activity!<br />

Describing cards to expand expressive vocabulary (attributes, categories, etc.) (green and orange cards) these are great for describing the pictures on the card and depending on the cards chosen can be used for compare and contrast activities as well!<br />

What I love most about this packet is it's versatility, I could not only address sequence concepts as the activity was designed, but I could also address wh- questions as well by using the information presented in each paragraph! These cards are perfect for many different skill levels for that reason. Rae also included some special cards that can be used for a game option as well!</div>

Natalie works as a school SLP and recently created a great activity targeting prepositions and following directions. She has graciously offered to let me review <b>Mr. Froggie Says</b>... and has offered up two copies to give away via Rafflecopter!<br />
<br />
Mr Froggie Says... is a 16-page packet that addresses both 1- and 2-step directions and prepositions. Both sets of activities could be used to target receptive and expressive language as well as auditory memory goals with your students! As such, it is extremely versatile and the cute graphics make it a packet your students will definitely love!<br />

Natalie developed multiple activities for using these materials including memory, a "Simon Says" type activity, and replicating the preposition cards using lily pad and picture cards as described above.<br />
<br />
I LOVE this packet and my preschool/kindergarten clients do too! I added a bit of a twist in converting the 2-step directions into 3-step by adding a frog action to the beginning (i.e. "ribbit" like a frog, hop like a frog, hop over Miss Jenn's legs, etc). This proved to be a great way to keep my clients' attention, increased the difficulty level for those whose goals target multi-step directions and gave those clients who need to move, another "fun" way to do so! <br />

I created this packet to fill a gap in my materials, as I have many preschool-aged with this goal, but sadly, few materials to address it (particularly with graphics)! Hope it proves to be a useful tool for your students as well!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Many of my preschoolers have difficulty answering "who" questions in general. Often times, I hear answers like "boy", "girl", "lady", "guy", "a mom", or "a dad" when my clients don't know the answer. While this is a bit of a spin on that skill, noun derivatives are often missed by my preschoolers as well.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This 14-page activity targets -er noun derivatives. Students using this activity will gain a greater understanding of noun derivatives and complete a variety of practice opportunities designed to change action verbs into nouns, specifically using those actions to identify the person who completes that action. <br />
<br />
This activity includes:<br />
<br />
18 picture cards (pages 3-5)<br />
18 sentence cards (pages 6-8)<br />
18 picture cards with fill-in-the blank sentences (pages 9-11)<br />
18 fill-in-the blank sentence cards (pages 12-14)<br />
<br />
<div>
Task 1: Students will match picture cards to sentence cards or select picture when sentences are read aloud by clinician (receptive task).<br />
Task 2: Students will state fill-in-blank answer either with or without picture cues (expressive task). </div>
<br />

While I LOVE adorable clip art, some of my clients are often distracted by it. Articulation BINGO is a simple set of cards (just clip art picture and word) and addresses multiple words per position per sound. <br />

- 10 labeled picture cards for teaching preposition concepts
(behind, beside, between, on, in, above, under, next to, in front of,
below)<br />
- 10 picture cards for assessing mastery of preposition concepts
(behind, beside, between, on, in, above, under, next to, in front of,
below)<br />
- 10 preposition word cards<br />
- 2 fill-in-the-blank sentence strips<br />

Life for me has been so crazy lately! Guess that par for the course when you are a speech-language pathologist by day and a wife and mom/show choir mom by night (and weekends)! In the meantime, here is a freebie for you! <i>A Boy and a Box: Practice with Prepositions</i> targets those lovely spatial concepts/prepositions that we all love so much!<br />

I am in the process of developing this speech-language pathology themed blog to share my thoughts and ideas with speech-language pathologists, parents, and other professionals dedicated to developing and improving the communication skills of children! I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to my friend Rachel, author of letstalkspeechtherapy.blogspot.com, for her guidance and valuable tips in helping me get started in the world of blogging! As the title above states, this page is still under construction; but it is my hope to "go live" very soon! Stay tuned and thank you for stopping by!<br />
