Work-Nerding (aka Things that are exciting me that are work related)

February 11, 2010 · 0 comments

Fun and progressive things in the world of Speech Pathology:

  • The Speech Pathology Australia National Conference in May. They’ve even put the Conference Dinner on the last night to keep us there til the end!
  • The LINCS speech pathology project – looking at best service delivery models for High Schoolers with language impairment. Hoping to see her present at the conference.
  • AAC in general.
  • Makaton signing. I need to brush up!
  • Uni! Get to do a mini research project this year… topics swirling around, but it might be to do with Adolescent language or perhaps the special school population. We’ll see!

Me & Kelly

Me 5 years ago at the first national conference I went to. It was here in Canberra, I was a student volunteer, which means I helped out but got free registration. We made tiaras for the dinner. It helped get me this job!

Ooh the power of industry conferences illustrated hey? I’m throwing myself into conferences this year. Need to be excited about our careers, right?

At first I read that making the tiaras helped you get the job! Unless that was supposed to be how to read it in which case, cool! :D

Perhaps they saw my Mad Skillz at craft, and figured I’d fit in?
