In honor of Better Hearing and Speech Month, we’re continuing to focus on resources that help SLPs connect, grow, and support one another. This week’s posts have centered on Facebook and today we’re giving a shout out to SLPeeps. There’s nothing like getting a bunch of SLPs together and letting them have at it. New materials, strong opinions, ideas for therapy, success stories, funny anecdotes and more. Connect with about 1000 of your closest professional friends at this dynamic Facebook group.

In honor of ASHA’s Better Hearing and Speech Month, our May PrAACtical Strategy is all about building a network of professional resources. This week we feature Facebook. Throughout the week, we’ve been sharing our favorite groups/pages on AAC-related topics. – I Teach Special Ed is a great network of professionals and families who share information and support one another. We love how inclusive and open this group is. – “This group is a very active support network for those using iOS devices and apps in special education. We welcome any special education/general education/inclusion teachers, program specialists, administrators, service providers (SLP/OT/PT), AT consultants/specialists, ABA therapists, parents, students, as well as app developers!” – With almost 2,500 members, you can be sure to get answers to your questions and feedback on your posts. – Stop by and check them out when you can.

That led us to our May Strategy, PrAACtical Learning and Resource Networks. – Our plan is to share an AAC-related resource each day that will help in developing our professional resources.
