Speech Therapy Theme Review: Community Helpers Part 4

My community helpers theme in speech therapy came to an end last week.  I could seriously have done another 2 weeks of professions!  But Valentine's and President's Day need my attention too! We finished up our theme with dentists.  Depending on the session and what I felt we needed to accomplish, some clients heard the second book and some did… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Community Helpers Part 4
