Disclaimers and TOU

Hey y’all!

I’m so glad you’ve
found my blog! The following is information isn’t necessarily the fun stuff,
but it’s necessary. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me
via email under the “Contact Me” heading at the top of the home page.

I blog because I
enjoy it. It’s a therapeutic outlet for me, and it keeps my creative juices
flowing. Plus, it enables me to talk about one of my favorite subjects: Speech
& Language Pathology, without boring my husband. The information I write
about is meant to share activities for Speech/Language Pathologists, SPED
teachers, or General Education classroom teachers to use in their therapy or
classrooms. You will also find a great deal of activities and resources for
parents who wish to supplement their child’s learning or therapy at home. The information
on this blog is not, in any way, meant to replace actual therapy or an actual
evaluation performed by an ACTUAL ASHA
certified Speech & Language Pathologist or licensed teacher. If you are a
parent or teacher who has concerns relating to speech and language development
for a particular child or children, please seek out consultation and/or a
comprehensive evaluation from an ASHA certified Speech & Language
Pathologist. You can find local SLPs from ASHA’s website at www.asha.org.

The therapy materials,
activities, crafts, information, products, websites, and apps mentioned in the
blog are to be used as tools in conjunction with speech therapy only. They are
not intended to replace speech therapy and should not be used in lieu of speech
therapy services. It is up to each professional to determine what therapy tools
are applicable to the therapy process of each individual student/patient. In
some cases, some therapy tools do not apply to that patient/student. Therefore,
all content from my posts should be read and used at the discretion of the
Speech & Language Pathologist. Parents and other caregivers should discuss
with your child’s SLP which specific activities your child would benefit from
at home.

This is my
personal blog. The opinions expressed here are my own and not those of my
employer (former, current, or future) or of the university I attended.
