Introduction

This week you get to listen in on my chat with Shannon Werbeckes of Speechy Musings. Shannon is a pediatric SLP, the creative force behind Speechy Musings, and an avid traveler.

At Speechy Musings, you’ll find resources that are full of information, help keep you organized, and inspire you. Shannon is a believer in keeping things simple and making sure that you, the therapist, are not bogged down with complicated, overly fussy tools.

In this episode, we discuss her AAC Implementation Toolkit, her trip to Ghana, and the 5 things she wants every SLP to know. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed our conversation!

  1. Why did you create the AAC ImplementationToolkit and what does it include?
  2. Why did you create the high frequency wordslists when there are a lot of articulation resources out there?
