About the store
Welcome to The Exhausted SLP! This store was born out of years of real-life experience in the therapy room, where laughter, meltdowns, breakthroughs, and yes - exhaustion - are all part of the job! I create practical, low-prep, and engaging materials for speech-language pathologists who work with young children, especially those with autism and complex communication needs. You’ll find AAC supports, visuals, play-based lessons, and tools designed to meet students where they are - because we know communication doesn’t look the same for every child.

Teaching style
I’ve been a speech-language pathologist for over 22 years and am passionate about supporting communication through meaningful connection - especially working with children with autism and other significant communication challenges. I’m especially drawn to helping SLPs feel more confident and less overwhelmed - because I’ve been there too!
Additional biographical information
I’m a mom, a diet coke fiend, a late-night laminator, and an SLP who believes in progress over perfection! I started The Exhausted SLP because I know how hard this job can be even though we LOVE what we do! My goal is to support other SLPs with materials that save time, reduce stress, and actually work with our most complex kids. Whether you’re in a therapy room, a classroom, or sitting in front of your TV cutting Velcro until your hand loses all feeling - you’re doing great, and I’m glad you’re here!
