We were recently contacted by Special iApps and asked to review some of their apps. They very kindly gave Helen and I copies of the apps to review and have also offered to give some away through our blog! However the views expressed are my own. Special iApps is a non-profit organisation who aim to help […]
Several times over the past few weeks, I’ve been talking to parents about how they can use visual support to help their children’s communication. This is one of those things that speech and language therapists bang on about all the time (!) but I don’t know how much sense we make to other people sometimes. […]
I have had a rather hectic but productive weekend. We have decorated the house, written Christmas cards and started our letter to Father Christmas. We have also chosen and decorated the Christmas tree. This is a favourite job for me, watching my son excitedly running up to every tree and saying ‘what about this one’, […]
I can hardly believe it’s December tomorrow – it always creeps up on me so quickly. In a sudden panic after realising this, I have been rushing around trying to get my daughter’s advent calendar sorted out, and realising it’s time I got going with some Christmas shopping. Advent calendars are so varied these days […]
It’s that time again – we are joining up with Jenna at Speech Room News with her Love it and List it Linky: Articulation apps. This was trickier as there aren’t as many speech/ articulation apps around. Speech Stickers I love this app and so do the children I work with. It is designed for single sound […]
Today we’re very excited to announce that we have been asked to be regular contributors to the fantastic Special Needs Jungle website! We did a two-part guest post earlier in the year (you can catch those here and here if you missed them) and were so excited to be asked to write a regular column. […]
Helen wrote earlier in the week about my posts, so today I am going to return the favour! We have both found it interesting to see which posts get the most hits and which ones don’t, as it’s not always what we expect! Helen’s highest ranked post was Generalising speech sounds which has gained […]
So, our first announcement for the anniversary week! Are you ready…… We have finally bitten the bullet and started a Speechbloguk facebook page! You can find it here. The exciting thing for us is that we can upload useful finds and information that we might not make into a blog post, so there will be different […]
On looking back over our first year of blogging, we’ve been looking over our 58 posts. It’s interesting to see which posts we enjoyed writing the most, and which ones have had the most views (not necessarily the same ones). We thought, since we share this blog, that it would be interesting for us to […]
So, Helen and I have been writing our little blog for nearly a year! Yay us. It’s been an interesting year with a sharp learning curve, which after attending Blogfest on Saturday, I realise we are still very much on! I love looking at the statistics for the blog; seeing which posts people like, how […]
