Do you use tongue twisters in therapy? I like using them with my older elementary students and middle schoolers who are in the carryover stage of articulation. It’s a great way to work on speech intelligibility and it seems more fun than just working on sentences. We practice them slowly and talk about how when […]

Rounding up the Month with Multiple Meaning Word products (linky party) & Giveaway
I can’t believe it’s almost the end of another month. I also can’t believe that we’ve pretty much finished that gigantic bag of Halloween treats that I got for this Friday. I should’ve stuck to my strategy of only buying ring pops. […]
SLP Frenzy
Hope you like things that are SWEET. We were able to squeeze one more SLP frenzy in before Facebook changes their rules regarding frenzies and like gating. Head on over to my Facebook page to get started.
Speechy Feedback: October
I’m always excited to participate in Speech Peep’s monthly Speechy Feedback party. It’s a great opportunity to hear about new products recommended by fellow Speech language pathologists. As a seller, it is a great opportunity to give back to someone who took the time to leave thoughtful or insightful comments regarding one of your products. It’s […]
Spooky Tossing Games for Halloween
One of my favorite things to do in therapy is just throw things around the room. Sometimes we throw picture cards, sometimes we crumple up our worksheets (when we are finished) and toss them in the trash. Sometimes we slide our picture cards under the door while we tell them to go away. It’s a […]
Speech Interrogations: 2 more super simple activities for the busy SLP
I picked up a police badge and holder at the dollar store and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Then one day I grabbed my flashlight and started doing “Speech Interrogations.” I only did this in individual sessions so I can’t speak to how well it would work in group settings. I also played Speech Cop […]
Jenga: quicker clean up
Jenga is one of the BEST games in speech therapy for easy customization. You can check out how one of my coworkers adapted her Jenga games HERE. Maybe I’m just a little slow… I’ve struggled with trying to put Jenga games away for years. I would build the tower-but then it was so hard to […]
Digging a little Deeper: Products and resources for multiple meaning words
One part of my job involves providing virtual speech therapy to middle school and high school students. We use a webcam, and I can upload internet games, movies as well as write on a virtual whiteboard. Here are some of the online resources I use to introduce multiple meaning words: Videos: Youtube is a […]
Halloween Round Up
Looking for some ideas for fun Halloween Activities? You’ve come to the right place because I live in the (self proclaimed) Halloween capital of the world. Turns out my hometown was the first one in the US to throw a Halloween party. I also just learned that my undergrad school was the first school in […]
Soapbox Saturday: Collaboration-Part 2
I’ve been thinking about how to format this post for awhile. If I waited for the perfect way to share this information-I’ll probably wait for another two years…. Why do I think that children benefit from both school based services and outpatient services? Part of it is that my experience has shown that students who […]
