Winter Fun To Promote Language

Winter is cold.  It's dreary.  In the south, it takes way too long to get to spring!  (Can you tell I don't care for winter?)  But the good thing is winter does lend itself to some pretty fun sensory activities that promote language!  There's just something about playing a bin of snow (fake or real),… Continue reading Winter Fun To Promote Language

Mitten, Hat, and Sweater Crafts for Speech Therapy

Winter clothing week can be a fun one in speech therapy.  The craft part is usually kind of difficult though.  Last year, I came up with the wacky winter sweater (it's along the lines of the tacky Christmas sweater).  This year, I have decided to add a couple more crafts to address different goals. What's awesome… Continue reading Mitten, Hat, and Sweater Crafts for Speech Therapy

Rumor has it we are going to have snow flurries this week.  While "snow flurries" are not a big deal north of Texas, here it is HUGE!  Kids are talking about the possibility of no school (yes we JUST returned from a 2 week break!).  Grocery stores are packed and supplies are slim pickings!  That… Continue reading Snowmen Crafts for Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Thanksgiving Food

This past week of speech therapy has me so ready for Thanksgiving dinner!!  We talked about turkey and pie all week!  It's funny to listen to the kids tell me what they like to eat on Thanksgiving.  Of course, most of my clients don't like veggies.

Thanksgiving Dinner Craft for Speech Therapy

Most all pediatric speech pathologists are reading the same book this time of year. "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie" is always a big hit in speech therapy sessions. Kids love her!
