Virtual Disney Vacation in Speech Therapy (Part 1)
This summer I tried out something a little different in my speech therapy sessions. I had several clients going to Disney this summer, so I thought "Why not take a virtual trip with everyone?" You'll notice in the title it reads "PART 1" so be expecting a few more posts with each one detailing our… Continue reading Virtual Disney Vacation in Speech Therapy (Part 1)
Gingerbread Books for Speech Therapy
Oh man! I love gingerbread in speech therapy! It is so much fun and every session ends up being different. There are tons of gingerbread man variations out there so I am not claiming these are the best...just the ones I like! The original "Gingerbread Man" story even has tons of variations. The 2 that… Continue reading Gingerbread Books for Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy Theme: Leaves
Leaves can be a popular theme for speech therapy in the fall. I love it because you can use this theme in September all the way through November. I waited this year to use the theme after Thanksgiving. Our leaves had finally changed in my part of Texas! It just fit better. When I was… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Leaves
Speech Therapy Theme: Turkeys
Thanksgiving is seriously knocking (hard) on the door. So we talked turkeys this week in speech therapy. Plus, there's really nothing as cute as a toddler imitating a turkey sound (Gobble Gobble doesn't ever sound the same way twice!) I used some of the same materials, updated some more and added some new. It was… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Turkeys

As a traveling SLP, I can't bring ice cream to the homes… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Ice Cream

Kids of all ages love Toy Story. (Insert 40 year old me raising my hand high!!!) So during the COVID-19 pandemic, I chose to use a Toy Story theme in hopes to make my teletherapy sessions more engaging for the kids. I had done a Toy Story theme several years ago when Toy Story 3… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme: Toy Story
Community Helpers in Speech Therapy: Doctor
The first week of community helpers in speech therapy was a hit! The kids love talking about fire fighters and police officers. This week has 2 community helpers the kids are less thrilled about. Little kids do not like to go to the doctor. They associate doctor's office with medicine and shots. So in my… Continue reading Community Helpers in Speech Therapy: Doctor

Simple Speech Therapy Activity: Mittens and a Snowball
Let's face it...simple speech therapy activities are the jam! There's little to prep and keep up with. You don't have to manipulate 10,000 items on your therapy table. Most of the time, you can stretch that activity to reach the majority of your clients, if not all! That last part is a huge BONUS! As… Continue reading Simple Speech Therapy Activity: Mittens and a Snowball
