I’m always looking for super simple and silly activities to use in therapy. I enjoy creative crafts and prefer to use manipulatives or real life activities within my therapy sessions. But some days I need to take data-or I didn’t have any inspirations and I use worksheets that I might typically send home for homework […]
Thanksgiving Speech therapy Craft: Hand Turkeys
Hand turkeys are one of my favorite Thanksgiving speech therapy crafts. Maybe your parents have one that you made in preschool laying around: Trace around the child’s hand.
