Gingerbread Books for Speech Therapy

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!

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

Quick Drill Boxes in Speech Therapy

We've all seen the beautiful blogs posts about picture prefect therapy sessions go for that one speech therapist.  Let's be honest...not all speech therapy sessions are smooth and picture perfect.  You may see 6 kids in a mixed group in which you need to address everything from articulation to grammar in 30 minutes.  Maybe you… Continue reading Quick Drill Boxes in Speech Therapy

“Light Up Language” in Speech Therapy

Finding ways to keep kids engaged and interested in speech therapy can be a tricky feat for even the most creative SLP.  After you have spent countless hours on creating ridiculously fabulous lessons (Great job, by the way!), there will always be that one kid that is like "Meh."  Or maybe you are the SLP… Continue reading “Light Up Language” in Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Presidents and Money

During Presidents week, I modify my speech therapy lessons so that I can use {ALMOST} the same theme all week long.  I connect presidents to money for my younger clients.  For my older clients, we talk about presidents and money.  The little ones don't quite understand elections, voting and Presidents.  But they know what money… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Presidents and Money

Using Mailboxes in Speech Therapy

We’ve all seen those cute little mailboxes in the Target Dollar Spot or our favorite dollar store. I know I walked by them a couple of years ago, not sure what I could do with it. Don’t worry…before I checked out, I walked back to pick up 3 (or maybe 5!) These little mailboxes are… Continue reading Using Mailboxes in Speech Therapy

Pizza Sensory Bin in Speech Therapy

I started… Continue reading Pizza Sensory Bin in Speech Therapy
