Amazon Finds
Alright, I admit it, I have a problem, I am completely addicted to Amazon! There are soooo many awesome, useful, as well as just plain fun products for the Medical SLP available on Amazon! Thus, I have decided to share some of my favorite Medical SLP finds with you here on the blog. These are affiliate links, which means I earn a *very small* commission for any items purchased to reimburse me for time and efforts involved. I would greatly appreciate if you considered using my links! <3
Clipboards
This is an awesome Medical SLP Reference Clipboard, that I have used for many years in the medical setting! My favorite features of this clipboard are the calculator, the optional underneath storage compartment and the SLP reference info. I use the solar- powered calculator to determine my daily productivity and for analyzing data at the end of therapy sessions. It also has a timer. The underneath storage compartment is where I store extra pens, crackers, straws, business cards, post-it notes, my NOMS reference book and anything else I can cram into it! Note: The storage compartment is sold separately.
This SLP Insert Clipboard looks amazing! It is a clear board that is also dryerase, so you could draw on it while educating patients and when utilizing the SLP insert/anatomical cards. The two-sided card that is included has pictures of the larynx (superior and anterior views), brain, mouth, cranial nerves, and a head cutaway. You could also add your own pictures to it as well!
The WhiteCoat Clipboard that I recently happened across on Amazon, caught my eye! It is not only foldable (to fit in a scrub pocket!), and lightweight (made of aluminum), but it also includes quick reference SLP medical information! Info includes: subtypes of dysarthria, FEES versus MBSS, normal vital signs, SLUMS and MoCA score interpretations, aphasia types, and cranial nerves involved in swallowing function. Check this one out! It also is available in different colors!
Digital Sound Level Meters
This BAFX Digital Sound Level Meter is affordable, reliable, and is super easy to use! It measures from 30dBA to 130 dBA and is battery operated. It has an easy-to-read screen and is ideal for those LSVT or SPEAK OUT! therapy sessions. It easily fits in my scrub pocket!
Fun Gifts
This SLP Gift Box Collection is amazing! I've ordered a similar gift boxes from Blue Tree Publishing in the past for my SLP graduate students. This one includes fun sticky notes of the vocal folds, brain, larynx, and mouth, as well as a larynx pin, trinket keychain, postcards, not to mention fun SLP anatomy tattoos!
The #SLP Life A Snarky Adult Coloring Book is flat out hilarious, do not miss this, go check it out and pick one, or two, or three for your favorite co-worker(s)!
Games/Cards
Journals/Notebooks
These Everyone Deserves A Voice Speech-Language Pathologist floral journals would make lovely gifts for fellow SLPs or go ahead and treat yourself! Use them for taking notes, tracking data, session planning and more!

Medical Scrubs
I've worn and tried out a variety of scrub brands over the years, however I keep going back for Grey's Anatomy Signature Series Scrubs by Barco. I think they are the most comfortable scrubs ever made! The material is soft ,yet stretchy, the fit is flattering, and I love all of the styles that offer multiple extra pockets. Not to mention, they are available in so many different colors and sizes, including Tall! The extra pockets on the tops or pants are such a life saver when I am on-the-go! Some of my favorite styles are the Olivia Pant, the 3-pocket Pant, and the Mock-Wrap Top. Give them a try!
Pen Lights
I really like these penlights as they are super affordable (two for less than $8!), LED, and can easily clip into my scrub pockets, just like a pen. They are battery operated and work well for oral-motor examinations and for monitoring patient's oral care status.
Pulse Oximeter
If you work in the medical setting, it is always beneficial to have your own pulse oximeter to monitor your patient's blood oxygen saturation levels, pulse rate, and pulse strength.
Reference Books
The SLP Anatomy Flip Book SLP Anatomy Flip Book includes 23 pages of easy-to-see SLP related anatomy pictures (brain, larynx, mouth, oral phase dysphagia, vocal folds and more!) I think this book would be a useful tool for educating patients, their families, therapy co-workers, and nursing staff in all things related to the Medical SLP world.
Shoes
These fun Speech Pathology Shoes would no doubt spark some conversations when you are out and about! Wear them with scrubs, to meetings, or national conferences to show your SLP spirit.
Wall Decor/Art
Wow I recently discovered these beautiful art/anatomy prints that are made from vintage book prints and quite affordable. These would look great in an office space!
