Back to School . . .

Today a good friend and former "speech room roommate," told me that she was moving to a new room in her school. I don't envy her.  Moving a room and getting ready for school is hard work. Our school custodian knew me well as during my first 12 years as a school SLP, we moved all of my speech stuff seven times. I remember spending many summer vacation weeks setting up my room. 

Now, "back to school" isn't such a big deal for me as I work much of the summer and my office space stays the same throughout the school year. However, for those of you who are coming back to school this month, below are some resources for  "back to school" organizing and other items to help you get ready for your students.
