Sample Super Mario Passages created by AI services

 3rd Grade Level Fiction- Bing AI Mario and Luigi were taking a walk in the Mushroom Kingdom when they saw a strange portal. They had never seen anything like it before. "What do you think it is?" asked Luigi. "I don't know," said Mario. "But let's go find out!" Mario and Luigi jumped into the portal and disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they were in a strange new world. The sky was purple and the trees were blue. Mario and Luigi had never seen anything like it before. "Where are we?" asked Luigi. "I don't know," said Mario. "But it looks like we're going to have an adventure!" Mario and Luigi started walking through the strange new world. They soon came across a group of friendly creatures called Yoshis. The Yoshis told Mario and Luigi that they were in the Land of Yoshi. "Welcome to the Land of Yoshi!" said one of the Yoshis. "We're so glad you're here." T...

A Simple Summer Idea



This summer brings new experiences for my family.

Camps are closed or restricted in use.  The beaches near me are at 50% capacity (and there's still a ton of people there!).  I am fortunate enough to have a blow up pool in the yard, but the usual summer experience is different, so different.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but I feel like it's been summer since school "ended" in March.  Yes, we had virtual learning.  Yes, I did therapy online, but there has been a completely different "feel" to the way this summer has started.  There were usual summer tasks that were done already.  My kids were already in "summer" mode because their 1-2 hours of virtual learning left a lot of time for leisure.  On a good day, they played together and on a rough day, I played referee.

That is why this simple summer idea has been such a lifesaver already.




My children's favorites are numerous- but recent ones include "With Our Powers Combined," "Soft: The First Dog," and "The Magic Chalk and the Very Real T-Rex."

The stories are wonderfully acted by the narrator, Amanda, and there are also songs to accompany some of the tales.  

Traveling to the beach, traveling to a family member's house, puttering around town, Stories Podcast makes the rides a little more fun and a lot more bearable.

What are some things you like to do to make car rides a little more, well, tolerable?

How Do You Assess Exceptional Students? (Day 22)

I walked into Rosemary Kennedy School with ideas in my mind.  It was my first job out of school, I was blessed that my supervisor agreed to be my CFY mentor.  I had a caseload of 11 children and was ready to stand on my head to get the job done.  Floortime/DIR approaches were going to be used, AAC technologies were going to be expanded, and I was going to help all of my students. Then I realized I was going to have to test some of my students. The days of a clinical evaluation in grad school went dancing through my head.  Articulation, voice, fluency, hearing, multi-faceted language evaluation, conversational speech sample, language sample...you get the idea. I quickly learned through observation that a school triennial evaluation for CSE and a clinical evaluation are 2 different animals.  Completely. Clinical evaluations require time you don't have in school. Clinical evaluations look at the whole picture while a school evaluation is really looking at academic ...

Switch Tracking and the SLP

My listening habits take some strange turns from time to time. I have been listening to Season 3 of the Revisionist History podcast recently.  While I wish I could “binge listen,” I have to slug it out and wait for the weekly updates.  If you haven’t listened to this podcast, you really must.  Malcolm Gladwell breaks apart issues in only his way- I often think of his delivery in twisting out your preconceptions about a topic and then serving them to you on a nice plate.  I also love how he says the word “years.”  But that’s just a speechie thing. I stumbled across the podcast “Hidden Brain” from Shankar Vedantam (NPR) today because there are no new Revisionist episodes and was immediately intrigued by the idea of switch tracking.  While it has a psychology/social science base in it’s research and discussion, I find there is a specific link to what we do in SLP. Switch tracking refers to the way in which we receive feedback from others. ...
