I am probably sitting in a hot tub right now surrounded by some elderly people who wish my son would stop talking. We are visiting my mom in Arizona. While I am away, I thought I would update and repost some of my popular posts related to Autism. ****************************************************************************************************************** Echolalia refers to when a child repeats […]

Easter Egg Puzzles: “Cheep and easy Easter ideas” More “Cheep” and easy Easter Ideas. Work on describing with this freebie: Do you do any Easter celebrations in your room? I’d […]
St. Patrick’s Day Round Up
Anyone else looking forward to Spring? We’ve had a decent winter here-I am ready to do some spring gardening. This is immediately followed by the “pretend I don’t see those weeds and good luck vegetable plants” stage of gardening. My plants inside my house are all fake. I haven’t done a ton of St. Patrick’s […]
How to Host your own Awards show: Speech room Style
Is anyone else a fan of Awards shows? We usually host an Oscar’s® party every year. I have a red carpet that I roll out-and sometimes we dress up. My husband and I try to see as many Academy Award nominated movies as we can before the big night. This year I thought it would be […]

I’m thinking about how I might use environmental cues to train the following common speech goals: Articulation: Saying an […]
Clue into your cues: Gestural Cues
After verbal cues, I think I probably use gestural cues the most. I’m trying to be more mindful within my sessions of the many different ways we can prompt different responses. It’s part of our skilled service. We use a lot of other teaching techniques as well, but cues and prompts are how we work […]
Clue into your Cues: Visual Cues
I’m still taking some time to think about what cues I use with my clients with the idea that I want to choose the most effective prompts during my sessions. You can check out my previous posts below: Verbal Cues Tactile Cues When talking about visual cues today, I am going to specifically think about facial […]
My new obsession: Tack It
Another one of my SLP friends introduced me to Aleene’s Tack It last year. I pulled out some Christmas stickers that I had laminated a few years ago and decided to try Tack It so that I could hang the Christmas tree up on the door and have my clients walk, hop, run, crab-walk across […]
Clue into Cues: Tactile cues
I started talking about this last month-and then got a little distracted with the holidays. My topic of the month for November and December is cues/prompts. I’m using them interchangeably but I realize that many people do make distinctions between the two but I don’t. Maybe I’ll form my own island and have my own rules […]
