If you have kids at home, chances are good they are constantly in the fridge! Why not turn the fridge into a "language hub?" We have a set of alphabet magnets on our fridge. Both of my kids (15 and 10) love to create new phrases with the letters. They have to get creative with… Continue reading Easy Fridge Fun for Language Skills

Winter Fun To Promote Language
Winter is cold. It's dreary. In the south, it takes way too long to get to spring! (Can you tell I don't care for winter?) But the good thing is winter does lend itself to some pretty fun sensory activities that promote language! There's just something about playing a bin of snow (fake or real),… Continue reading Winter Fun To Promote Language
Penguin Crafts for Speech Therapy
I like to spend our last session of the week in speech therapy crafting. We've read our book, completed drill work and now it's time for fun! I came up with cute penguin crafts to finish up the week. One of these was inspired by the "Little Penguins" book we read earlier in the week! Articulation Penguin This… Continue reading Penguin Crafts for Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy Theme: Penguins
We are waddling through speech therapy this week with penguins! We can do all sorts of things with penguins. ADDED BONUS? The kids love penguins!

Mitten, Hat, and Sweater Crafts for Speech Therapy
Winter clothing week can be a fun one in speech therapy. The craft part is usually kind of difficult though.

What's awesome… Continue reading Mitten, Hat, and Sweater Crafts for Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy Theme Review: Winter Clothing
This week's theme in speech therapy is winter clothing. Kind of inappropriate since my weather forecast predicts 70 degree temps by Tuesday!

Book for Speech Therapy: My favorite book… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Winter Clothing
Snowy Sensory Bins for Speech Therapy
Using sensory bins in speech therapy is so much fun! You can use 1 bin for all ages to address just about any goal. Not only can you change out the target skills, but you can also set your bin up for the current theme/season/holiday. This week we had a snow sensory bin. Since I… Continue reading Snowy Sensory Bins for Speech Therapy
Snowmen Crafts for Speech Therapy
Rumor has it we are going to have snow flurries this week. While "snow flurries" are not a big deal north of Texas, here it is HUGE! Kids are talking about the possibility of no school (yes we JUST returned from a 2 week break!). Grocery stores are packed and supplies are slim pickings! That… Continue reading Snowmen Crafts for Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy Theme Review: Snow
I absolutely love talking about snow in my speech therapy sessions. Maybe it's because I'm from Texas and we don't see it very much. Maybe it's HUGE choice of books and activities...Maybe it's both! Favorite Books about Snow The Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow This continues to be a favorite with the kids. My… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Snow
