I’m always looking for super simple and silly activities to use in therapy. I enjoy creative crafts and prefer to use manipulatives or real life activities within my therapy sessions. But some days I need to take data-or I didn’t have any inspirations and I use worksheets that I might typically send home for homework […]
How I do it: Teaching Personal Pronouns
Does your brain get stressed out when you are trying to teach you/me? I’ve read suggestions that you should avoid teaching or requiring personal pronouns I/me/you (particularly with autism) because the concepts are too abstract and that it might be better to refer to the child by name. Understanding pronouns is an important first step […]
5 Strategies for Working with that “Shut Down Kid.”
Has this ever happened to you? You pull out a worksheet or activity and the student says: “I hate speech,” “I already know that-I’m not stupid you know.” “Your wasting my time” Or the dreaded-shut down-where they just stare at you are refuse to do anything.

Hanen: It Takes Two to Talk {Review}
When you work with young children, helping parents understand how to communicate at home is as important as the intervention you provide. That’s birth to three 101 right there. Today, I am reviewing an updated edition of the Hanen Centre’s book, “It Takes Two to Talk.” (disclosure statement: I received a copy of this book […]
Teaching Time Concepts in Speech Therapy

Teaching WHEN questions in Speech Therapy
I’ve spent the last few months talking about how I teach WH questions in therapy. Teaching when questions is a little more tricky to teach because they are more abstract. When questions are generally answered by a time word or a reason. Ex. When do you go to bed? (7 pm or when I am […]
Halloween Speech Therapy Apps
A few years ago I wrote about my favorite Halloween speech therapy apps. I’m not using my iPad as much in therapy anymore, but there are still some really fun apps out there to use in therapy. Millie’s Books of Tricks and Treats Volumes 1 and 2: Megapops LLC […]
Teaching Who questions
I struggle with writing goals for teaching WHO questions because I feel like most of my materials are focused on teaching community helpers/occupations. Sometimes it doesn’t feel as functional to be talking about mechanics with 4 year olds. Still, it’s important for children to be able to answer WHO questions to talk about who is there, who […]
3 Apps for Teaching What Questions
Do you ever feel like you are stuck using the same activities for teaching WHAT questions? I shared a few activity ideas on Tuesday and wanted to share my favorite apps to teach WHAT questions and how I use them. Apps for Teaching WHAT questions: If you use the iPad in your sessions, you may want […]
How I do it: Teaching what questions
WHAT questions are probably some of the easiest questions to teach in speech therapy because the answer is generally a concrete object or an action. A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about why children have difficulty answering different WH questions. I’m following up by talking about how I teach each specific WH question. […]
