💗Are you going to ISHA? I'll be there!


February has arrived! 💝

Wow, January flew by and I'm hoping that February is a fresh start in so many ways. January wasn't a great start to the year, am I right? It was a rough one for our country and boy did that month drag on or what?

February in Illinois brings ISHA, our state convention. I've been to ISHA a lot over the years and I've always liked it. The last time I was there was in 2019 and back then I actually made a video about it: What ISHA is like. Funny to think that it probably will be pretty different since this year they are holding it in Tinley Park, IL. I watched the video and wow the years have aged me...

But I'm going to ISHA this year and I'll be presenting two talks. The first one is about using the SLAM cards to elicit a language sample with bilingual children. It's something I've written about on the blog, but this time I'll talk about implementation live. Secondly I will be presenting on running an IEP meeting in Spanish. I want to be clear that I am not saying we need to be translators, but in fact we need to be sure to invite a translator to our meetings by law. But I think knowing the relevant vocabulary in Spanish can build bridges with families.

Will I see you at ISHA?

All the best, Sarah 💘

The Imitation Hierarchy is something that I think a lot of SLPs know on a gut level, but back before I wasn't aware of a formal hierarchy. It is part of the 180 page Building Verbal Imitation Skills in Toddlers program that Laura Mize has created on her website. She is a legend and a tremendous resource who has a ton of...
