Using Coins To Grow Language
How much spare change do you have laying around at home? In jars, on top of the dryer, on the nightstand, maybe in the bathroom…you know you have it. Sometimes, it is not very much.

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Presidents and Money
During Presidents week, I modify my speech therapy lessons so that I can use {ALMOST} the same theme all week long. I connect presidents to money for my younger clients. For my older clients, we talk about presidents and money. The little ones don't quite understand elections, voting and Presidents. But they know what money… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Presidents and Money

SLP Tip: The New Way to Use Stamps
Instead of a parent tip this week, I chose an SLP tip to give out. Do you ever give a client a stamp and three days later it is still there? They've bathed but it won't come off. Or do you bring a blue stamp pad and the girls want pink? Maybe your stamp pad is… Continue reading SLP Tip: The New Way to Use Stamps

Speech Chick’s Favorite Winter Books for Kids
Today, I am bringing you my favorite kids' books for winter. I love kids' books. Probably more so than adult books.
