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.

We just got Zack's final evaluation from the UNR summer term. Zack summary of progress Summer 2017 I don't know why it won't post as an image but let me know if you cant click on this and get to the pdf. I also wanted to give a big shout out to Zack, of course. …
Yes/No Questions
Belatedly, I wanted to share a victory in Zack's independent speech therapy. Yes/No questions have been challenging since Zack's first days of speech in May 2015. Even when he knew which was correct, the other word would come out and this makes some transactional conversations hard. i.e. Do you want to take the Subaru today? …
Boot Camp – last day
Friday was our last day of Aphasia U Boot Camp. I don't think I posted about this before but on the first night, Derrick's wife and sister came to talk about the website they've started in Derrick's memory. https://www.strokestrong.org/ To help raise awareness of aphasia, they are making each participant with aphasia their own cards …
Boot Camp days 3 and 4
My computer wasn't connecting to the hotel wifi for the past couple days. My work for Holm Construction came to a screeching halt as did posting here! I'm mostly caught up with work now so here're some pics from Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday we were treated to David's older brother and Carol's oldest son, Mike …
