Unperfect SLP
​Because Perfect Doesn't Exist



​

I Don't Do Busy

I don't do busy.
I don't do crazy.

I don't do overwhelmed or overworked.
​

I do calm.

For myself, and for my clients.

Because growth doesn't happen when we are stressed.
Growth happens when we let go of worry.
Change happens when we give up on anxiety.

Goals are not met when we do too much, but when we do just enough. And sometimes that means doing less than you think.

Doing "less" means a lot of things:
  • It means giving enough wait time for adequate processing.
  • It means only addressing one short term goal for multiple sessions in order for true learning, carry-over, and generalization.
  • It means using the same materials multiple times, and only adding small changes as needed

Because often I find that in doing "less", so much more is gained.

    My name is Amy Lauer

    I am a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP)

    I am also a dog lover, an author, and a recovering perfectionist.

    At the beginning of my journey as a practicing speech-language pathologist, I was getting overwhelmed by a lot of aspects of delivering therapy. Not just the paperwork or productivity requirements, but also the actual session time. But as I grew my material piles, my anxiety grew with them. I needed to make everything PERFECT. But perfect doesn't exist. And once I accepted that, my material piles dwindled, and my therapy got better.

    In a time when streams of information are available 24/7, it can be impossible to weed out the necessary from the noise. I created this blog as a way to help practitioners, parents, and partners of those in need of communication support to find simple ways to do just that. 
    To simplify.
    To grow.
    To unperfect. 

    I hope that you will find help and ease in the simple suggestions I provide, which can be easily used for a variety of ages, diagnoses, and abilities. 
    ​
    May you find joy in unperfection, and growth from its benefits.
    -Amy
