I love a great in-person conference. I count down to ASHA every year! And. I also love a good virtual conference - being in my pajamas, lying on the couch, all my favorite snacks. (though, I am also presenting at today's virtual conference. So I will need to get dressed... eventually... 😂)

How on earth did I get lucky enough to have three licenses and my CCC all needing renewed at the same time? 😵‍💫 #slpeeps

Watched my kids in his 4-H Youth Council meeting tonight via Zoom. I strongly recommend it - proud mama moment seeing the young man he's becoming!

What should I be doing? Wrapping up ASHA presentations. What am I actually doing? Making a virtual game table map for my daughter and her cousin to keep playing their current DnD campaign 🙈

I love when one good research paper helps you find another good paper... But does the rabbit trail ever end? 😂 #slpeeps

Currently continuing to read through research as I work on wrapping up my #ASHA25 talks - my brain is swimming in acronyms as each researcher creates their own... #slpeeps

Our state has a law against surprise billing. I just had to say "it is against the law to surprise bill me, thus refusing to give me an estimate of the cost of this procedure is against the law.." It makes me wonder how many NOT in the medical field are prey to these antics...it isn't right.

How is my day going? I may have just mumblesld "everything is trying to murder me..." as I headed to my room 😂 Some days you win. And some days... Are today. Better luck tomorrow?

I'm speaking at 2 conference in November and I'm incredibly excited for all of the topics! #slpeeps #asha25 #speechretreat

*deep sigh * when the research study uses a proprietary technology that 1. We don't have access to 2. Is now so incredibly outdated (2012) that it limits the study's results for wider application and adaptations #slpeeps #asha25

What you don't want to hear after a late shift? A little person's voice wishing you goodnight.... 1. OHEMWOW... heart attack 2. Why are you awake at 1am?! 3. Love you, sweet child. #slpeeps

I did a thing... I started a #substack to teach others about executive functioning! #slpeeps And today it hit #48 Riding in Parenting! functioningbrain.substack.com

When your favorite website for therapy games is down on your busiest night of work.... Nothing like thinking on your feet late on a Friday evening! #slpeeps

Wishing my fellow #SLPeeps good luck as #ASHA25 call for papers comes to a close... now we wait until July to find out!

So... I may have done a "thing"... I started a YouTube/ #Podcast channel. It's a spot to share about what I've seen at CES + tech I'm testing and trying. And I throw in #telepractice stuff too! #SLPeeps #speechies #speechtherapy youtu.be/ucj3rhoKwi8 open.spotify.com/show/11lkvrj...

There are many things I miss about my university days... Access to all the research articles, to start.... #SLPeeps #Speechies #Spechtherapy

Reason # 374638 I hate time change. My appointment system doesn't recognize that Asia doesn't time change. Which means I have to go week by week to move every single appointment forward by one hour. That also means I now start work at 5...and had to extend my hours to midnight 😭 #slpeeps

When there are connection issues during your telepractice session... but you know for sure it isn't on your end!

Tell me something small you learned in school that you still do today... I'll go first. I take my notes in a blue pen, so I always know which is the original. #slpeeps

A "normal" night in #telepractice .... www.instagram.com/p/DE8_wltxI7...

My client wanted to compare and contrast his Disney park (HK) to mine (FL/CA) - and I'm totally here for it 😂 So thankful for people who post videos of the rides on YT. Learned that their Elsa coaster is very similar to our Mine Train and what is different in our Frozen Ever After Rides! #slpeeps

Back home in the office after #CES2025 and I have so much to share and process 🤯 www.instagram.com/reel/DEyU4G_... #slpeeps #instaslp #speechies

As I begin to process everything I saw, and the potential of different innovation, a few are lodged in the forefront of my brain... #CES2025 #slpeeps #speechies #instaslp

The final day was a bit shorter (ends at 4om vs 6pm) but I was able to track down some booths I heard were good from others! Tomorrow I head home ✈️ www.instagram.com/reel/DErINYt... #CES2025 #slpeeps #speechies #instaslp

Fun fact - there are never any lines for the women's restrooms at #CES2025 !

Day 2 at #CES2025 and some intresting finds and fun tech trials! #slpeeps #speechies www.instagram.com/reel/DEmAvST...

A quick sneak peek at day 1 of #CES2025 www.instagram.com/reel/DEjgWbq...

Super computers that fit in your hand and 3 types of robots in productions (agentic, humanoid, self-driving cars) - all things currently happening at NVIDIA #CES2025

Is the robotics era right around the corner? Training and greenfield/brownfield automations are some of the current limits, but can AI overcome that? #CES2025

You need three computers - one to train the AI, one to deploy the AI and one "digital twin". The twin is where the AI goes to practice and be refined. These three work interactively in NVIDIA's system #CES2025

Cosmos is trained on 20,000 hours of video to teach the AI to understand the physical world #CES2025

Is the future of AI creating an AI that understands the language of our world? Gravity, friction, perspective, etc. NVIDIA is introducing COSMOS, an AI that understands the physical world. Based on world foundations models. #CES2025

Currently listening live to one of *the* kings of AI - Jensen Huang (NVIDIA founder and CEO) - he is discussing where AI is going and what to expect #CES2025

Want to see the newest tech that I'm trying out and discovering at #CES2025? Be sure to follow me over on IG www.instagram.com/speechykeenslp

Over 138,000 people last year at CES - the lines for badge pick up are crazy! #CES2025 #slpeeps

Currently sitting in my sweats, drinking a chai and watching a client stream. Why? 1. She invited me. 2. This is showing me what she carries over and what we can work on that aligns with her personal interests, passions and social life. #slpeeps

Saturday thoughts: Concierge SLP services look very different than the typical, but I've found it aligns with my strengths, style and passions. And I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, it makes *my* services more effective. But it absolutely has drawbacks, too #slpeeps

On a similar note #slpeeps... Can we discuss those Arch bathrooms?! 🤯 #asha2024 #ASHA24

I truly don't care if I don't see another escalator for a very very long time.... 🤣 #ASHA24 #asha2024 #slpeeps www.instagram.com/reel/DDVJrbB...

Alright - in a session the most commonly asked ethics questions in 2024. These sessions give me so much anxiety 🙈 I'm a type A rule follower who is always convinced I'm messing up! But they promise to address AI 🤞 #ASHA24 #asha2024 #slpeeps

#slpeeps ? Bueller? Bueller? *cue panic attack* www.instagram.com/reel/DC4bmV-... #ASHA24

I may be a #colorado #SLPeeps now... But I am also Midwest born and raised 💕 And I've always been a horse lover... Even fake ones! 😂

Them: do you like living in #Colorado? Me:

Don't mind me over here teaching all my Asia clients about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Puppy Bowl AND Westminster Dog Show 😂💕 #slpeeps

Sometimes you just need to sneak in a 5.2 mile hike before you see your clients 💕 #slpeeps #hiking #colorado

In addition to being an #slpeeps, I run programs for kids of mixed abilities. Today, at the outdoor program, the kids journaled about some cottonwood trees using John Muir Laws' 3 cues: 1. I notice.. 2. I wonder.. 3. It reminds me of.. So here is a happy picture of nature journaling kids 💕

Tonight's Fireside was so interactive and dynamic - the team sat at the end just amazed at how fast that hour flew. We went from activity suggestions into caseload support back to activity suggestions then to vocational/transition support ideas. It. Was. Awesome. 🤩 #slpeeps
