"Swing Thoughts"

Once upon a time, I wasn’t a Speech-Language Pathologist. Crazy right? My identify for so many years, has been that I am an SLP. But yes, before I went into the field I was actually a golfer. That was my identify for the majority of my life. My dad, Charlie Mahon, is a Class A PGA Golf Professional. My older brother, Charlie Mahon Jr., ran golf courses for most of his career and played for UMKC in college.

I am able to complete my daily notes usually by the end of each treatment session. I do not work in the schools so I do not use the IEP tracker. The only change I wish was available on this app would be the ability to track multiple goals at once via the counter or the percentage. ...

Home Programs

One of my 2013 New Year Resolutions is to make a home program for each of my patient's that I see at my Outpatient Rehabilitation location. I thought it may be nice to share what I do! Here is an example of an at home programs for one of my itty-bitty kids. I usually make two folders one of the parent and one for the child. Now at this age (1-3) the child doesn't typically utilize the folder but the child folder is more activity based and the parent folder contains more education. I bought these folders at Walmart for 10 cents each, not a bad deal. Then on the front I just write Parent Guide or the child's name. Next in the Parent Guide I try my best to divide out various articles that I feel will be best for that particular parent to read for their child. For this Parent Guide I have the following sections: Typical Speech and Language Development Not to state the obvious but this section reviews typical speech and language development. :-) So what is g...
