I kind of feel like I’ve been working in slow motion this week when making these Micro-packet extension sets for my What Am I: vocabulary game. I’m trying out Micropacket games to see if it helps with printing costs. I love all of the products on TPT but sometimes I don’t want to print out […]
Where is Bunny: Creating your own Preposition Cards
Last year I scored big at Goodwill when I found a barely used Flamingo Bingo from Super Duper Publications for 1.99!! What a great deal. Spatial concepts can be difficult to teach children. I think they are probably more difficult for children with motor planning problems or sensory integration dysfunction. It’s that connection between language […]
What Am I: Vocabulary AND Articulation Extension Packs
Sometimes I struggle with clients who have language or vocabulary goals. I can’t teach EVERY vocabulary word they might need to know. So what to do? I find myself more and more trying to teach “strategies” to the child. When I have clients who come in who come in with vocabulary deficits and difficulty with […]
Come on Snake Eyes: Using Dice Games in Therapy
I’ve gone dice crazy. Dice are fun because it inserts that element of chance into a session. It’s not me that’s making you do six repetition of your target-it’s the dice. Plus the dice games are really motivating for kids. AutismTeachingStrategies.com has a fantastic blog post on using game like elements to teach social skills […]
Creative Fail
I’ve been walking around with 2 bags of tiny plastic Walmart babies in my purse for the last three weeks. The only time they come out of my purse is when I’m scrounging around trying to find my credit card at the grocery store. (I have 2 wallets in my purse-yet my credit card is […]

I have a target bag, who has a burner…
Here’s my PSA for the night. It’s not a good idea to place a Target bag on your ceramic stove top. The unfortunate consequence is that you will now have little red Target circles embedded into your burner. In my defense, I thought I had turned on a different burner. In spite of my mishaps […]
Penguin Vowels
I just finished a revised version of Penguin Vowels on my TPT store-I’m really excited about this one for several reasons: 1. Helping children produce accurate vowels makes a HUGE differences in their intelligibility. Consider this sentence: “I eat two potatoes.” A child who has all of their vowels intact but no consonants would […]
Word Making Tools Download
So we are coming up on a pretty exciting milestone here at Speech2U blog: 500 page views. I’m pretty excited! Although in the blog-o-sphere, I think this means that I’m still a pretty super secret blogger. But for me, at least I know some people have read it, because I know I haven’t checked my […]
Multisyllabic Words
Lots of Snowfall here today, which meant I was pretty busy trying to create some materials for my clients next week. I have a lot of clients right now who need to work on intelligibility. One thing that seems to negatively impact their intelligibility is when they don’t consistently or accurately mark each syllable in […]
