Did you ever play MASH when you were a kid? MASH stood for Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House and was a “fortune-telling” game that I played a lot in Elementary School. We’d find out who we were going to marry heeheehee, where we would live, what kind of pets and how many kids we would have. […]
Photo Safari: A fun game for describing and answering questions
Does anyone else tend to buy toys or games for their kids that they know they can repurpose in Speech Therapy? I’m always buying my son therapy toys. (He’d prefer Transformers and gigantic guns-I try to give him lacing cards and bead stringers.) Photo Safari is a game I bought to take with us on […]
Scribblenauts Remix: An awesome app review
My computer is starting to run really slow-but I only need it for one more week of virtual speech therapy. Then I have the whole summer to figure out how to speed it up. So instead of playing an online game during therapy, we played Scribblenauts Remixed. I’ve recommended Super Scribblenauts for the Nintendo […]
Smoothtastic: The extra blender
My husband has a difficult time picking out the right gift for people. One year there was the “Tinkerbell towel” debacle. One year for our anniversary he bought me a Tinkerbell watch. Well, I thought it was a watch…. But it was actually a watch/lip gloss combination. This was in my late 30’s. I’m […]
Autism: Categorization
Categorization is another one of my favorite goals to work on. Categorization is really a fundamental skill which helps direct our thought processes. We use categorization to plan events, organize our homes, create shopping lists and navigate stores efficiently. In order to categorize objects appropriately, we need to be able to recognize similarities and […]
Interactive Flashcards and Fill in the Blank Cards
While I was working on my post about echolalia and fill in the blank activities, I started thinking about a new product. I call it an Interactive Flash card, because the student can move the pictures in order to answer the questions. It contains different fill in the blank activities for 24 different vocabulary items: […]
Autism: Echolalia and Fill in the Blanks
Echolalia refers to when a child repeats a vocalization or something that has just been said. Echolalia can be immediate or it can be delayed. An example of Immediate Echolalia would be: Me: Do you want to eat a sandwich? Tell me yes or no. Client: Yes or No. Delayed echolalia happens when […]
Still hopping along…Easter Egg puzzles.
Thank you SO much to everyone who participated in the blog hop last week. I hope you had a really good time and were able to find some new blogs to read. Even though the blog hop is over, I’m still hopping because it’s Easter week and I ended up with lots of activities for […]
Praxis: It’s not just a test you take after school
A few months ago I went out after dinner with an occupational therapist friend of mine. We spent the night catching up and geeking out on therapy techniques. She was describing a class she had taken on Ideational Praxis. I found an article online called, “A Theoretical Model of Ideation in Praxis” by Theresa May-Benson, […]
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 […]
