I'm Shelley Psyk, MA, CCC-SLP — and I came to school speech therapy the long way around.
For most of my 30-year career, I was a medical SLP. Early intervention, pediatrics, adults, geriatrics. Outpatient clinics, rehab hospitals - small rural facilities and large metro centers. I've worked with patients across the entire lifespan and I loved every bit of it: learning who they were, understanding what they needed, and figuring out how to help them communicate and eat safely.
When medical issues made school-based therapy a better fit, I made the transition. And I'm grateful I did — I love working with kids and my colleagues at my school.
But here's what nobody warned me about: the paperwork. Or maybe they did...
I am REALLY ADHD. And school-based paperwork is the devil. IEP minutes tracking, attendance logs, compliance documentation, progress reports, data sheets — the sheer volume of organizational demands nearly broke me. Not because I couldn't do the clinical work, but because keeping it all straight felt impossible.
So I started building tools to save myself. Not cute worksheets — functional, no-nonsense tools that keep me organized when my brain won't cooperate. Trackers that do the math.
Forms I can fill out on my iPad between sessions. Screeners I can grab and go without 30 minutes of prep.
That's what Psyked for Speech is: resources built from genuine need and genuine distress, by an SLP who has been in every setting and still can't find her sticky notes.
Less time documenting. More time doing what matters.
