Since I obviously haven't been keeping up with this blog, you can go to my primary webpage at expage.com/speech4all. It's a better site with useful links :)

Things have been very slow which is why I haven't posted anything in a long while. I'm getting more calls for accent reduction so that is a nice change: people wanting to get into radio or tv, for example.

Next Friday is the Long Island Speech & Language convention and the workshop on cochlear implants should be good since we are seeing more children that have had these implants put in.

I got a call yesterday from a parent with a five-year-old who has an auditory processing deficit (reportedly). I advised her to check out the Fast For Word program but not Auditory Integration Therapy as AIT has had some negative outcomes reported. I have had good first hand experience with Fast For Word so I told her to see if that would be a recommended program by her child's speech-language therapist.

I have been getting e-mails about autism. A great site is the Waisman Center in Madison, Wisconsin. I don't know the web address but it can be found easily via any search engine. People have been moving to Madison from all over the country because of the work that the center does with autistic clients. It's worth a look.

I updated my home page that had somehow gotten erased at http://expage.com/speech4all and have gotten a number of hits already. I love seeing in the guest book where people are from. I included a number of good sites to visit so, hopefully, people will get something out of the site.

This is a brand new world for me. I am a speech therapist in NY and have been practicing since 1980. I have started this weblog as a way to muse about issues that concern me as well as to impart any info that may help parents, speech-language therapists or people who may have speech and/or language deficits. We will see how it goes...
