I also got to meet SO many SLPs at the exhibit booth!!!  It was amazing to see so many getting into the selfie contests and approaching me with my “secret” password for a free download!  SLPs at ASHA learned more about SLP bloggers and how we share “real life” therapy ideas!!!

Here an ASHA attendee was busy crossing off the bloggers she got selfies with to make sure she got 15 entrees to our giveaway!  Loved the determination!!!!!  Notice she is using a purple Speech Time Fun pen to cross them off!

Overall, this trip has been AMAZING!  I have learned so much between workshops and from my blogger colleagues.  I laughed, I cried (ok laughter tears), and was totally inspired.  I have so many ideas to use in my therapy room from this trip.  I also learned from my blogger colleagues and cannot wait to try some things out on my little website!  Stay tuned to see what happens next!!
