Deb and Maria drank El Grano Carmenere 2015 and paired it with a smooth brie cheese on a bruschetta, courtesy of Mike Recine. Deb and Maria voted "drink it" despite its strong acidic taste and potential to leave a stain. Luckily, Maria did not stain her white shirt nor Deb her black shirt.

Deb gave the real definition of multi-tasking and turns out, Maria is a true multi-tasker. They continued to play their "I have a goal for that" game and efficiently used the bell. Deb and Maria gave SMART goals for various disorders.

Maria and Deb gave sample goals and case studies for: aphasia, AAC, VPI, literacy, dysarthria and receptive and expressive language. Woah, they made sure to cover all the topics! They agreed goals should be individualized and treating the whole client. They discussed the overall goal is to help everyone generalize their skills to their activities of daily living.

As per the usual, Deb and Maria shared their Tips & Tricks. Feeling inspired from the current episode, Maria suggested using a bell in therapy sessions due to its versatility. Deb followed up with using timer/s in speech therapy sessions to organize and segment sessions. Together they agreed timers and bells are the way to go. They ended with their quote "you will find success in all that you pursue as long as you commit your efforts faithfully."
