*Here are some of my favorite Internet sites for both personal and professional use.* Personal Interest Stuff: I absolutely love animals and I have such a heart for those animals in shelters. Check out the Kanawha/Charleston Animal Shelter and look at all the wonderful animals that are up for adoption. I have a very wide array of music that I enjoy. One of my favorite singers is Jack Johnson. I really like to listen to his music because it is so mellow and always helps me to relax a little when things are getting too stressful. I also love listening to Maroon 5 and SheDaisy. All of these bands are fairly different, but I enjoy them all. I LOVE to shop, and so I always enjoy shopping online. A few of my favorite places to shop online are WalMart, J.C. Penney, and Macy's. All of the online stores have a lot of products, and you can browse from your own home! Fun Stuff: When I get some free time, I sometimes like to play games on the Internet. One of the places that I like to go and play games is on the Game Show Network site where you can play some of the fun games that are on their show. One of the main websites that contributes to my procrastination is a site called Facebook. It is a kind of online directory of college students and you can look up people you go to college with, and also people from other colleges to see what their interests are, what they do after they graduate, and stuff like that. I really like listening to music and watching music videos, but it's really hard to turn on the television and see the video you would like to see or to turn on the radio and hear your favorite song. So, I like to go to Launch and watch my favorite music videos and listen to cool new songs. Discipline Stuff: Since I am currently studying to become a speech-language pathologist, I frequently want to find information related to the career. One of the best resources for this is ASHA, which stands for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. There is information available here for professionals, students, and the public. One of most important websites to me during my college career has been Marshall University's Department of Communication Disorders home page. This is the home page for my major and contains information such as the requirements needed to graduate and also important forms that are needed for use in the clinic and the program policies. This page also offers a link to job postings that are available for speech-language pathologists. One of the most important documents to a speech-language pathologist is the Code of Ethics. This code has been a very important part of my education at Marshall and is referred to often by the professors. The code describes the set of standards for practice that all speech-language pathologists must follow. Research Stuff: Click here to check out this site that was created by the Mayo Clinic to get a basic overview of dysphagia. The Mayo Clinic is a foundation for medical research and education. This site has information such as the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of dysphagia. There is also information about coping with dysphagia and information about support groups. The ASHA website provides some good information about dysphagia. ASHA is the professional, scientific, and credentialing association for speech-language pathologists and other professionals. Their site offers a wide array of information on different disorders. One very good resource on dysphagia can be found here. It offers a short and simple description of adult swallowing disorders. The Patient Area at Novartis is another good resource for information about dysphagia. Novartis is an organization that deals with the research and development of products to help improve health. They conduct research around the world. This site provides some good information about swallowing disorders and tips for managing dysphagia. It also offers a link to some patient organizations. The eMedicine website is also another good resource for information about dysphagia. The eMedicine company is privately owned and offers evidence based content that is updated continuously. This page offers a more detailed description of dysphagia, the symptoms, causes, history, evaluation, and the different phases of swallowing.
