It has been a busy month FULL of FABULOUS guest posts from SO MANY incredible bloggers! From speech pathologists to parents to occupational therapists the information these fellow bloggers have shared with us has been fantastic. I know I personally learned all kinds of new activities and perspectives this month. However I know that it has been a busy month for everyone…for many the first weeks of August marked the last weeks of vacations before having to go back to “the real world” of schooling, work, children’s sports, etc. So I thought I would go ahead and provide you all with a short round up of all the guest posts in ONE place!
