An Attempt to Learn Something New

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.  That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.  ~Thomas Szasz

This blog is an example of my willingness to suffer injury to my self-esteem.  I am brand new to blogging and fear that my lack of knowledge will reveal just how old I really am : )

Since I work as a public school Speech/Language Pathologist, many teachers (and parents) ask me questions about speech/language development when neither of us really have time to devote to the conversation.  I would like this blog to assist in answering some of their questions. I would also like to use this space to share materials that parents, other SLPs, teachers, and paraprofessionals might find beneficial when working with children.   
I hope you find the information helpful.  Please send me any questions you may have.
