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!)

Language & Lemonade: Hands On Fun For Speech Therapy
Let's face it. Kids don't always want to work on language skills at home. They want to play their video games. Text or "Snappy Chat" their friends. Yes, you read that right..."Snappy Chat."

Speech therapy just got really girly! I absolutely love "Pinkalicious!" I love the conversations that this book stimulates.
