Client correctly punched in the correct digits on 43/50 (86%) when given the spoken words. When the …

Spring Progress Report
Here, belatedly, is Zack's progress report from the Spring semester at UNR. He enjoyed working with Alyssa and Sam and is already 1/2 way through the summer session. A recent milestone is that Zack rented a car and got a parking permit (for our apartment complex) for the rental by himself. (The van is at …
Spring 2019 Semester of Speech
I had a lot of snow days this winter so was able to meet Zack's speech clinicians, Sam and Alyssa, and watch them in action. The first day of the semester, Alyssa administered the Apraxia Battery for Adults (aba-2. I looked but was unable to find a sample online. The test costs $165, which I …

Friyay!
The main part of this post was to show how much I love this time of year in kindergarten. I have a group of active and social boys this year and am thrilled that they've learned enough independence to work these fun centers on their own. I really appreciate all the TPT teachers who make …

A van Saturday
Last night we had tons of fun bowling with the UNR Not Alone Aphasia group sponsored by the NSSLHA chapter. This morning, Zack's busy prepping the van for the bed build out. He was hoping to have the frame welded but is resigned to doing it himself. He is a carpenter, after all. Though numbers …
August 2018 UNR speech therapy progress report
Zack's on the phone with a friend right now. That hasn't really happened since early April 2015. He's just sitting on the deck, drinking coffee, talking to James about van renovations.

Sure!
My #oneword from 2017 was sure and it was meant to help me be more open to trying new things, going to more events, saying yes to more. I didn't know it in January 2017 but moving to Reno would really facilitate these behavioral changes for me! Artown 2018 also facilitated the shift! We live …
Spring UNR evaluation results
Receiving the summer pre-assessment results in the mail jolted me to the realization that I hadn't yet posted this one. Zack's making tons of progress during summer session - working especially on verbs and pronouns in a sentence structure. He's working with 2 new (to him) students and we're super grateful that he gets therapy …
UNR Speech Therapy progress report
UNR Summary of Progress Fall 2017 Happy almost Christmas! Above is Zack's latest speech therapy report. He was lucky enough to work with 2 student clinicians again this fall. Jordan, one of our favorite students whom we met in Las Vegas, helped make sure that he'll meet with 2 students again in the Spring term, …
2nd speech day in a row (for me!)
Zack goes to speech so often and I go to school. He, as you know, is nearly 100% independent and is fortunate to be able to go about his life without support and assistance. Having said that, I love that I am on Fall Break (for so many reasons) and that Zack invited me to …
