This is what it is all about!
After more than 35 years as a Speech-Language Pathologist, this is why I wake up ready to see my friends!
Looking forward to more days in the life of This SLP,

A quiet Sunday morning with the sun shining, the humidity rising, and the day just beginning…
THEN, as I unlock the family room door to let our three dogs out for their morning jaunt in the backyard, I spot “something” in the pool and it is blocking the skimmer basket.

Today, as I worked with some of my friends, it seemed that I was battling their creative play which was filled with “rough and tumble” descriptions that some might interpret as hostility.
However, my friends’ descriptions were related, in part, to oral language and social communication challenges, including their inability to understand the “dangers” or “harm” which would arise from their “fast and action packed” stories.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement (PSA) of sorts which I had not planned, but which developed through a sequence of events.
Today, I opened my AT&T bill and inside was a flyer for the “It Can Wait” Program. This program allows you to “Take a Pledge” to keep your eyes on the road while driving. To date, according to the program’s website, 9,261,876 PLEDGES [have been] MADE!! Let’s get that to jump beyond 10,000,000!

Children’s Communication Center’s Friends’ Team at the Autism Speaks U Club 5K at Florida State University
Saturday, April 9th, 2016
Everyone on our Children’s Communication Center Friends’ Team walks for a different reason, but we walk together with the common goals of increasing awareness, understanding & support of families living with autism spectrum disorders. Through our combined efforts we move closer to finding answers to the many questions surrounding this complex disorder.
Our Team of 16 included friends, neighbors, parents, children, teens & “Awesome Aussies for Autism”, newly formed for this occasion. This was our first Team for a 5K and clearly only the beginning of Teams for Children’s Communication Center & Friends!
The goal of 10 joining our Team was surpassed, as was our fundraising goal of $500, which was $1770 on the day of the event. Some donations continue to be made in honor of our Team! The support by ALL on our Team and ALL for our Team can only be described as “overwhelming fantabulous!”
8:00 AM ~ Children’s Communication Center’s Friends’ Team is ready to GO! Walk or run, a mile is a mile! Here’s to 3.11 miles together making a difference😎 Thank you, Autism Speaks U club @ FSU for organizing this event in Tally.
At the Finish Line ~ Our Children’s Communication Center Friends’ Team started together & we all completed the 5K representing the first & last to arrive with all the times in-between! Our 6-year-old participant walked the entire race with a steady pace!
To learn more about the 2017 event, visit Autism Speaks U – Florida State University for details.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THIS SLP…the beginning…
Category : A Day in the Life of This SLP , Blog
“Patience is a virtue” and one that fares well as a Speech-Language Pathologist where change may come slowly, but each step forward signals success. Many parents have expressed that I have great patience with their child, describing me as gleeful at the smallest step forward. Now, it is time for me to show patience as this web page evolves, step by step, little by little, moving forward to completion. To be sure, it is a work in progress, always growing and changing. ~
A gleeful day in the life of this SLP,
Lori
