Okay. \u00a0I have officially been the worst blogger lately. \u00a0Not a single post in all of December. \u00a0I have so many excuses for it – we celebrated both of my kiddos birthdays during the holidays which made for lots of planning, preparing, and spending time with family and friends. \u00a0We had a great time.<\/p>\n

I have also been working hard on the production of a new speech product that is geared toward children with Apraxia. \u00a0I AM SO EXCITED FOR IT!!! It is almost finished – so be sure to follow my blog so you won’t miss it.<\/p>\n

Other than that – my new year’s resolution is to be more consistent with my posts. \u00a0So here is to hoping…<\/p>\n

I wanted to share something with you all and decided to showcase one of my favorite client Christmas presents I have made in the past. \u00a0I have given this as presents for my private speech clients as well as for all the (100+) kids on my school case load.<\/p>\n

\"client<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isn’t it cute? \u00a0Anyway – I gave them all this note with a hand held mirror as a present. \u00a0Fun and functional – right. I wanted them to feel inspired and motivated, and I wanted something that would help them practice their speech better at home. \u00a0I figured a mirror was the way to go.<\/p>\n

For my private speech clients I just headed to the dollar store and purchased enough mirrors for all of my clients. \u00a0For my 100+ students I couldn’t afford $1 for each child – so I found some cheaper mirrors online that I could order in bulk. \u00a0It worked out well and they all turned out really cute.<\/p>\n

I know it is after Christmas – but if you wanted a late Christmas present for your students\/clients – here is an idea for you. \u00a0Or you could just save the idea and use it next year.<\/p>\n

Here is a more generic version of the letter that you can just print out and use yourself.<\/p>\n

\"student<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.<\/p>\n
