This is our last effort of 2011 to recommend holiday gift items for children in your life. Therapists have recognized that gross motor and movement activities promote learning - attention and focus, academic skills and speech and language. And advances in brain science support their observations.

November 1, 2011: Why a Speech Catalog? |
| |
When we went to our first ASHA Conference in 1997, many visitors to our booth were excited about our catalog and commented how they wished their occupational therapist was there. Since then we have exhibited at many ASHA Conferences and are looking forward to this month’s conference in San Diego. In the meantime, we have continued to add new products for Speech Language Pathologists (SLP). Now, we have decided to highlight what we offer to SLPs in a brand-new, separate 36-page catalog!

CEUs and You |
| |
Therapists are always working to improve their skills. Certainly, they need CEUs to maintain their national certification. More important, new research provides evidence that informs new treatments, and therapists need to stay up to date. Continuing education seminars and workshops provide one way to do that. |
