I'm Heidi Britz, and I am a school based, speech language pathologist (SLP) . I have been practicing (coast to coast) in pediatrics for more than 20 years! I also wear the hats of mom, caretaker of a shaggy dog, coffee drinker and eternal optimist! I love my job and have become immersed in learning and teaching social language concepts for the past ten years. My blog is my way of sharing and connecting the common core with not so common therapy ideas
