Time to Celebrate with AMAZING GIVEAWAYS!

It's a wonderful time of the year and for me, this week is extra special.  It's my one year 'blogiversary'!  This time last year, I faced my ultimate fear of being judged and putting myself out there...I started this blog.  If you know me personally, you know that writing has never been my strength and that I am a very shy person who doesn't like to be in the spotlight.  So, starting a blog was my ultimate 'face your fears' endeavor.  However, I have found that it has been nothing short of an amazing experience and I am so happy that I did it!  I have met (online & in person) some amazing SLPs and bloggers, made amazing new friends, learned a lot from other bloggers, become a better SLP, reaffirmed why I love this profession and so much more!

Here are a few pictures of my year as an SLP blogger!

ASHA Community

Every December, I get a notification that it is once again time to pay my ASHA dues. So, I go online and register for another year without paying attention to what ASHA has to offer. Recently, I was looking at their website and stumbled upon ASHA community. Maybe I am the only one that didn't know this, but ASHA Community offers multiple forums with thousands of users! They have a forum for pretty much every topic that a speech therapist would be interested in. Beyond having great topics, it seems as though all questions that are asked on the forum are answered by many fellow speech therapists. All you need to participate is your ASHA log in information. It is a great resource that I will definitely be using in the future! So, if you were like me and just paid your yearly dues without ever knowing what ASHA had to offer, I hope this helps you now and in the future. Click here to read about the ASHA Community.
