Welcome to SLPs Staying Connected!


"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."
-Ludwig Wittgenstein


We are a network of professionals, graduates, and students in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Are you a novice wishing to learn more about the profession? Become a part of our group and gain insight on a more personal level! All members are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, voice opinions, and discuss any other SLP-related issues.

Our goal is to learn from one another by helping one another learn. In working to achieve this, please continue inviting friends and co-workers to join us here...


The greater our network, the greater our knowledge!


ASHA's broad Scope of Practice enables an SLP to work in a variety of settings, with a wide range of clients. Therefore, the degree of group diversity exemplified through SLP's Staying Connected is best accommodated with a dynamic resource of information. In hopes of achieving this, new resources will continue to be added to this non-exhaustive list. An eclectic compilation from several members is desired, further benefiting our wide array of individual interests.

All group members are encouraged to submit their own links to share with the network. Message your ideas to Elle for display on this page. If you would like to be credited for the link, be sure to request this in your message. Websites may involve any topics, including those yet to be found on this page. However, they must be relevant to the field and, to the greatest extent possible, contain factual information from credible sources. Consequently, links containing opinions in absence of any supportive evidence and links containing advertisements in absence of any educational benefit will not be included on this page.
