Manage episode 225218238 series 2314248
Deb and Maria welcomed their guest SLP Mrs. Emily Diaz who joined in unfortunately not via a private jet but via a video chat. Maria and Deb drank an Italian white Pinot Grigio wine by Gionelli. They paired it with mozzarella cheese. They voted "drink it". Emily is unfortunately battling a cold so she drank water.
Next they played a "This or That" game to get to know Emily. Deb introduced Emily as an SLP who loves to incorporate AAC with literacy. Emily likes to use Usborne books during her therapy sessions. Next, they went on to talk about Emily's typical day of how she works at multiple campuses. Emily went over dynamic, Pog and static devices. Mrs. Diaz also told us how she uses a core word of the week and pushes into the classroom. Emily is a Usborne consultant and recommended some books, such as "Bully on a bus".

They are also still selling pink and white blah blah blah blah shirts.
Next, Emily discussed how she is an advocate for more manageable caseloads and devices for students. She wants to empower SLPs everywhere to speak up for themselves and for their students!
For their tips and tricks segment Emily recommended to use SLP Toolkit to help with data collection, progress monitoring and caseload management. Maria recommended pairing 2 core words together such as yes/no to help teach concepts. Deb told everyone not to underestimate a Sharpie. Their quote was “the best time to start AAC is early intervention, but the second best is now”.
