Yoga, Breathing & Speech Therapy Strategies

January 10, 2017 by Tracy Wannemacher, M.S., CCC-SLP

A few moons ago I went to Bikrams yoga for 2 years with my friend over at Autism Service Provider and Beyond.  I remember one day another friend asking, “Did you go to yoga today?” She went on to say that I was extraordinarily calm. It interests me when I learn something about myself and then … [Read more…]

Making Sense of our Internal Regulators

November 14, 2016 by Kaitlyn Vokaty, OTR/L

Sometimes when I take a look around I feel like an old lady with these young therapists cropping up! But, I tell you us older folks need young therapists to show us new tricks, to remind us of forgotten tricks and to help keep our spirit young.  I met Kaitlyn Vokaty (Occupational Therapist) about 6 … [Read more…]

July 11, 2016 by Tracy Wannemacher, M.S., CCC-SLP

Food!  Great topic for this week’s post! I love going to the grocery store and thinking about food that some of my kiddos may eat. For today, the focus will not be so much on picky eaters but my “mouth stuffers”; the kiddos that like a lot of food in their mouth at once. These … [Read more…]

Ever leave the house without your watch? Eek! Ever sitting at work on a Friday at 3:30 only to look at the clock and be relieved you only have 30 minutes to go?

Gas Pumps and a World That Keeps Talking

May 31, 2016 by Tracy Wannemacher, M.S., CCC-SLP

I cannot remember when I first heard the gas pump providing me with today’s weather, advertisements, etc. I actually googled this, but the only “article” I could find would not be very professional to link to in this blog post. (Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks about gas pumps). But I will … [Read more…]

Attention, Hairdressers, and Dancing

May 23, 2016 by Tracy Wannemacher, M.S., CCC-SLP

Anyone else dread going to the hairdresser?! Two to three hours in one spot? What is she going to want to talk about? (another blog post) How can I sit that long? Do I have to talk too? And, oh my goodness if she has ideas about my hair! If the hairdresser leads with “I … [Read more…]
