About Eat, Speak, & Think

offering information and materials for speech-language pathologists.

🌟 Hello, Wonderful Supporters! 🌟

I'm Lisa Young, the speech-language pathologist behind Eat, Speak, & Think. Since June 2018, my mission has been to help adults facing challenges with swallowing, communication, and cognition and the SLPs who work with them.

📚 Free Resources!

Nearly every blog post offers a free download. Subscribers to my newsletter get free access to the library, where I've collected all of the free patient handouts and clinician cheat sheets.

💌 Newsletters:

Twice a month, get a burst of inspiration with EST's newsletter. In addition to any new blog posts and downloads, I include a handful of related resources that I think are interesting, useful, or just plain fun.

☕ A Little Support Goes a Long Way:

Your generous "coffee" donation fuels the fire that keeps my website and newsletter going. Each blog post and newsletter takes many hours of work. Knowing that you find my work useful is super motivating!

🎁 Exclusive Tokens of Appreciation:

- Coffee Champion: Treat EST to a coffee, and snag EST's Mini Resource Binder – a treasure trove of 67 pages containing all of the condition-specific patient handouts and clinician cheat sheets, plus 10 extra goodies from EST's Resource Binder.

- EST Supporter: Become a member at the "Supporter" level, and EST's Resource Binder is yours. This 308-page PDF contains nearly all of the free downloads from my blog, updated twice a year for active Supporters.

Thank you for your support of EST! Your generosity helps pay for the costs and my time, and your feedback and support keep me motivated!

💖 Lisa
