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: 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

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." If you are lucky, they enjoy reading. But working on talking, answering questions, describing? That's a big NO. But it's ok. Sometimes… Continue reading Language & Lemonade: Hands On Fun For Speech Therapy

As… Continue reading Simple Speech Therapy Activity: Mittens and a Snowball

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.

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Purplicious!
The girls continued the girly theme in speech therapy. This week was all about purple, cakes and painting!

(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
