I have 40+ years experience as an SLP in a variety of settings such as the schools, hospital, nursing home/rehab, private practice and even spent over a decade as a professor in a university. I currently work in the schools and have a caseload primarily filled with children in with autism, intellectual disability, and other communication disorders. I also happen to be a Certified Autism Specialist.
I love learning new intervention strategies and techniques. I have a couple of mottos......."whatever works the best for each individual" and "speech/language intervention just HAS to be fun no matter how old the patient/client/student is!"
Gosh and shucks....I've gotten a few but I don't think I'll mention them here.
