Check out this AMAZING resource that was shared in an SLP online group I follow: http://booksharetime.com/  The website is managed by an SLP in Australia, and has searchable lists of picture books organized by target speech/language area. You can search by keyword, age (birth-8 years), target concept, narrative structure, and so much more. Each book has a brief synopsis. There is also a blog and newsletter you can sign up for to get information on new picture books and ideas. I'm so excited about finding this and wanted to share - it's a gold mine! -Erin

The following was e-mailed out to all campus support staff: In an effort to make our REED process more efficient and clear, we will be implementing new REED/Re-evaluation guidelines. If you are currently working within the REED/Evaluation application for an evaluation, please complete the evaluation with guidance provided last year for that case. You should proceed with the steps outlined in the new REED/Re-evaluation guidelines on all new re-evaluations. We will be disabling the REED/Evaluation application in the future. Below you will find a link to the REED/Re-evaluation guidelines, a 22 minute training video, REED/Re-evaluation guiding document and a question submission form. Please review all in their entirety. Any questions that are submitted will be addressed with the entire team and a FAQ will be developed for future reference.

Hi Everyone! I loaned my book for the SKILL narrative instruction program a few times last year, and the book was returned to me, but I just noticed the attached CD is missing! =( If you had the book last year, please check your materials for the CD - and let me know where to come and get it! Many thanks for your help! -Mandy

One of my resource teachers is in search of a social narrative about appropriate boundaries in friendships at school for an upper elementary student who is starting to develop feelings for boys in her class. I'm thinking maybe one of our fabulous junior high SLPs may have something that could work. Does anyone have anything that she could use and/or tweek to meet her needs?  Thanks in advance!  -Kristina Barth
