Happy National Speech Language Pathologist Day! I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from some of the best SLPs and I wouldn’t be the SLP I am today without my amazing colleagues! 🤍🗣️

10 years ago I started my journey into graduate school at Monmouth to become an SLP! So thankful for all the opportunities that have come to me through this journey 🫶🏻

Today is a Preschool Language Scales testing day! I love using this assessment not only to have the option for bilingual administration but also to assess play skills and receptive and expressive language! After all, play is what preschool is all about!

There is a definite cycle to teachers’ beliefs about students and student outcomes. This part of ⁦@katiemartinedu⁩ ‘s #EvolvingEducation made me reflect on book club in Red Bank Borough a few years ago reading Choice Words by Peter Johnston with ⁦@KateRBPS⁩

[Alicia DeSanto @MsAlicia_SLP]

Today, I am completing two evaluations with the Child Study Team to determine eligibility for incoming three-year-olds. I love completing evaluations in a team setting and learning from my colleagues!

DID YOU KNOW that students can start school on their third birthday if they qualify for special education?

[Alicia DeSanto @MsAlicia_SLP]

@lbmb62997 @katiemartinedu YES! We cannot have one without the other!

[Alicia DeSanto @MsAlicia_SLP]

Trying to apply this mindset to not only my students but also to myself. ⁦@katiemartinedu⁩ describes why believing in your students matters in #Evolvingeducation .. think about if we can teach students to believe in themselves how much they can achieve! ⁦#MUSOE #MUEdD ⁦

@lindsayjablons @DrGeorge_MU @MUschoolofEduca Congratulations Lindsay! So well deserved. You are inspiring!!

[Alicia DeSanto @MsAlicia_SLP]

I loved seeing the clinical expo come to life with the @MUschoolofEduca SLP 1st year and 2nd year students last week! I have loved seeing the growth in clinical skills for my graduate students this year, and have connected with new colleagues with such expertise!

I will post the correct answer tomorrow!

A question came up from a parent today at the MU Center for Speech and Language Disorders so I am taking a poll: Did COVID-19 impact language development in children?
