Essentials for the SLP on the Go 

Being on the road is TOUGH! 

So you just took a job as a traveling SLP on the road, going from house to house and school to school. You realize pretty soon you are LIVING and WORKING out of your car. As an SLP on the go there are essentials that you will NEED to make your life easier, more organized and comfortable while out and about all day. Below are my essentials that make day to day travel SO much easier. 

For the Car

Trunk Organizers

A must have. I have two to fit all of my things 

A bin 

Many people use totes to carry to and from sessions. I prefer these bins, you can fit more and see everything inside

Garbage Bin 

A must have! I love this one because it holds a decent amount and straps to the back of the seat.

Travel Cup 

My favorite, fits in the cupholder and lasts all day 

Electronics 

iPad 

Absolutely essential. I currently have the 11 inch Pro. I use it in my sessions and its easier to carrier around compared to a laptop for notes and paperwork throughout the day. 

Magic Keyboard 

This is AMAZING. It allows you to use your iPad just like a laptop. 

Portable Charger

I love this one because you can charge all your devices, you know for those times your taking a break in Starbucks without an outlet

Other Fun Stuff 

Clipfolio 

I clip lesson plans and checklists for my day to the front, it always sits in my bag 

Folders 

I organize seasonal activities in these folders. Then when the season is over I place them in a bin in my closet. 

LCD Writing Tablet

One of my most recent purchases. I use this for written cues during activities with older kiddos as a way to begin to fade verbal cues. 

Dakota Neoprene Backpack (Large)  

A splurge, but this is the bag I carry with me all day. Its clean and professional looking, durable and can hold all of my things without looking overstuffed
