SLPs don’t work in isolation.

In RISD, we collaborate with teachers, families, and support staff every day.

That’s how communication carries over beyond the therapy room and into real life.

Today's round of JHE Speechie Trivia was about busting myths! Communicating with someone who stutters means focusing on *what* is said, not *how* it is said. Modeling calm and slightly slower speech is helpful too! @RichardsonISD @RISDSLPs #nslhm @JessHarbenElem

[RISDSLPs @RISDSLPs]

In RISD, SLPs support ≈3,150 students across 50 campuses.

That support happens in classrooms, small groups, and real school environments, not just in therapy rooms.

It’s not separate from learning, it’s part of it.

It’s MAY! This month, we celebrate the people behind communication.

Our RISD SLPs support students every day. They help them access learning, express themselves, and connect with others.

Happy National Speech-Language-Hearing Month 💙

Congrats, Ms. Gonzales! You won this round of Speechy Trivia by guessing how many JHE students receive speech therapy. We serve students to ensure students have the skills and access to communication at school! ♥️ @RichardsonISD @RISDSLPs @JessHarbenElem @ASHAWeb #risdreambig

[RISDSLPs @RISDSLPs]

Social communication skills build on each other.

Higher-level skills rely on foundational ones.

When students struggle with:
• conversation
• perspective taking
• language organization

it’s often a signal to look deeper.

Skill progression matters.

April is often called Autism Awareness Month.

But awareness isn’t enough.

Awareness = knowing autism exists
Acceptance = changing what we do because it exists

Let’s move beyond awareness.

I’ve been a little discouraged this week. So this treat left on my desk, that was dropped off at my school before student arrival by my SLP bestie, really brightened my day. Community and connection matter. @RISDSLPs #RISDDreamBig
