About the store
I am a pediatric speech language pathologist and the founder of Bite Sized Beginnings Speech Therapy, a private practice in Naperville, Illinois. I have over a decade of experience working with children with diverse communication needs including speech sound disorders, autism, gestalt language processing, AAC users, and pediatric feeding challenges.
In addition to providing therapy services, I supervise graduate clinicians at Saint Xavier University where I mentor future speech language pathologists as they develop clinical and diagnostic skills.
I also have ADHD - I enjoy making products that I can rely on long-term to make my life easier.

Functional /R/ Practice!
I created this resource (and many others) out of the frustration with therapy books not having the type of words that I need my kiddos to practice. I hope you find this functional /r/ monosyllabic, bisyllabic, and trisyllabic word list helpful for some of your older /r/ kiddos.
Please leave me a 5 star rating with your valuable feedback.

SLP Graduate Student Self-Supervision Form
The self-supervision stage is the most important stage of supervision just prior to the SLP's Clinical Fellowship Year. This form was created to expand your SLP Graduate Students' ability to self-evaluate their skills and facilitate independent clinical analysis skills.
Thank you for your download. I value your feedback and I am dedicated to improving the ability to provide excellent clinical education!

Teaching style
My therapy style is child led, play based, and neurodiversity affirming. I believe communication develops best when children feel safe, understood, and motivated to interact.
Rather than focusing on compliance based therapy, my approach emphasizes connection, regulation, and meaningful communication opportunities. I incorporate naturalistic language modeling, AAC support, and strengths based strategies to help children build functional communication skills.
The resources in this store reflect this philosophy. They are designed to be engaging, flexible, and supportive of authentic communication development rather than drill based learning.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I am highly involved in advocacy work through the Illinois Speech and Hearing Associations Legislative and Regulations and Billing and Reimbursement Committees.
