Oh man! I love gingerbread in speech therapy! It is so much fun and every session ends up being different. There are tons of gingerbread man variations out there so I am not claiming these are the best...just the ones I like! The original "Gingerbread Man" story even has tons of variations. The 2 that… Continue reading Gingerbread Books for Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy Theme: Leaves
Leaves can be a popular theme for speech therapy in the fall. I love it because you can use this theme in September all the way through November. I waited this year to use the theme after Thanksgiving. Our leaves had finally changed in my part of Texas! It just fit better. When I was… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Leaves
Speech Therapy Theme: Turkeys
Thanksgiving is seriously knocking (hard) on the door. So we talked turkeys this week in speech therapy. Plus, there's really nothing as cute as a toddler imitating a turkey sound (Gobble Gobble doesn't ever sound the same way twice!) I used some of the same materials, updated some more and added some new. It was… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Turkeys
Speech Therapy Theme: Ice Cream
It's the last week of May and that means we have an ice cream theme in speech therapy all week long!!! When I was in the schools, we would make ice cream or have an ice cream party to celebrate the school year. As a traveling SLP, I can't bring ice cream to the homes… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Ice Cream
Speech Therapy Theme: Toy Story
Kids of all ages love Toy Story. (Insert 40 year old me raising my hand high!!!) So during the COVID-19 pandemic, I chose to use a Toy Story theme in hopes to make my teletherapy sessions more engaging for the kids. I had done a Toy Story theme several years ago when Toy Story 3… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Toy Story
Community Helpers in Speech Therapy: Doctor
The first week of community helpers in speech therapy was a hit! The kids love talking about fire fighters and police officers. This week has 2 community helpers the kids are less thrilled about. Little kids do not like to go to the doctor. They associate doctor's office with medicine and shots. So in my… Continue reading Community Helpers in Speech Therapy: Doctor
Simple Speech Therapy Activity: Mittens and a Snowball
Let's face it...simple speech therapy activities are the jam! There's little to prep and keep up with. You don't have to manipulate 10,000 items on your therapy table. Most of the time, you can stretch that activity to reach the majority of your clients, if not all! That last part is a huge BONUS! As… Continue reading Simple Speech Therapy Activity: Mittens and a Snowball

With Halloween just around the corner, it is a perfect time for a bat theme in speech therapy! I had a bat theme last week which ended up being a big hit...especially these two crafts!

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Purplicious!
The girls continued the girly theme in speech therapy. This week was all about purple, cakes and painting! I love this book because it emphasizes to be your own person and don't be afraid to like what you like. We had an assortment of activities to address each girl's goals. (You can find all the activities… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Purplicious!
Speech Therapy Theme Review: Pinkalicious
Speech therapy just got really girly! I absolutely love "Pinkalicious!" I love the conversations that this book stimulates. How many times were you told as a kid that would turn into the food you ate ALL THE TIME? I certainly remember hearing I was going to turn into a chicken nugget one day. Those same… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Pinkalicious
