One of my most popular posts from last year was about creating your own speech and language binder. I love using binders to organize my papers and activities. I keep resources, worksheets, goal ideas etc. in my binders. You can read more about my organizational system HERE. As part of that post, I gave […]
Back to School Verbs: {Freebie}
Let’s talk about verbs for a bit. Verbs are one of my favorite vocabulary items to teach early communicators. One reason is that verbs can be fun-you can jump, crash, run, spin, burp, sigh, cry or even put things in weird places (like your head). This is not related at all-but my 6 year old cut […]
Outdoor Games for Speech Therapy {FREEBIE}
Does anyone remember the spanking machine? I’m pretty sure we even had the spanking machine at school. If you lost a game, everyone would line up and you’d have to crawl between people’s legs as they smacked you on the behind. Can you imagine if that was still a thing? Anyhow, I’m not recommending the […]
Cephalopod week {freebie}
Hope your summer is going well! We’ve been blessed with beautiful weather the last few weeks. I’ve been weeding in the garden (and wondering why I have so many gardens) and am looking forward to spending some time at the beach. Earlier this week, I was listening to NPR and they were talking about Cephalopod week. […]
Minimal Pairs {Freebie!}
Minimal pairs therapy can be an effective tool in therapy, especially for children who continue to have persistent errors and have difficulty monitoring their own speech. I use this approach when my client is able to say the target phoneme or phonological process with minimal (1-2 cues) to produce the sound correctly. Here is how I use […]
Hoppy Easter: Fun jokes to share while strengthening language skills {freebie}
I love using jokes in therapy. Mostly because they are fun-but also because a majority of my language impaired clients struggle with language based humor. They love visual humor-pratfalls, fart jokes etc. But they need explicit instruction to understand why jokes, which rely on manipulating language, are funny. These are the students who may learn […]

I can’t believe Easter is just a few weeks away. Here is a quick round up of some of my Easter activities from years past. 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 […]
Capture the Gold {FREEBIE}
WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who purchased products from my store during the TPT heroes sale. I’m always overwhelmed during these sales. Your support and feedback helps me to keep doing something that I really enjoy-and that I’ve found is helping me to become a better speech language pathologist. I hope you were […]
“Guess Who” didn’t get her Freebie up before Christmas….
*Sigh* I started working on this really fun templates for Christmas “Guess who” but then with traveling and family obligations didn’t get it completed until after the holidays. I did try to ignore my 6 year old on the plane to get it done-but I’m pretty sure the gentleman in front of us appreciated my […]
Holiday Perspective Taking: Freebie
I started working on this product in October of 2013. I didn’t get it finished before Christmas and have been slowly chipping away at it during the last year. I really like my Halloween Flip Flap trick or treating activity and wanted to incorporate that idea into a Christmas activity with a perspective taking theme. I don’t […]
