I’ve been walking around with 2 bags of tiny plastic Walmart babies in my purse for the last three weeks. The only time they come out of my purse is when I’m scrounging around trying to find my credit card at the grocery store. (I have 2 wallets in my purse-yet my credit card is […]

Duration Map Emergencies….
I use duration maps a lot in therapy. Duration maps provide a visual representation for children so they know how much time is left before they can be (or have to) be done with an activity. A simple way to do one would be if your child has 5 minutes left in activity to draw […]
Hot lips and Octopus hangers…
I spent too long at Target this week because I was avoiding going back out into the FREEZING cold. I ended up with some fun Dollar Spot crafts for Articulation or language cards. Check out these cute animal clips. They come in a set of 3. I used them for articulation today, but you could […]
New Year’s Resolution #2: Stop being a materials hoarder.
You can tell a lot about a speech language pathologist by the size of their laminator. Well, at least I have a special love for laminators. I started in grad school with rolls of cloudy/clear contact paper. This was back in the days of the old Linguisystem SPARC books and I’d stay up late in […]
New Years Top 10 List: Resources and Continuing Education
Brrrr…It’s cold outside. I was going to write more about these lists but I’ve decided to spend the rest of the day hanging out with my 4 year old and husband by the fire in our basement. The first list is my favorite CEU courses. It was a difficult one to write because I LOVE […]

Christmas Tree Cones
I love to make quick snack crafts in Speech therapy. It’s an easy way to include worksheet drill activities. In between each step we can practice our word lists or answer wh questions. It’s also a great way to work on sequencing, paraphrasing and story retell. Last week we made these cute Christmas tree cones. […]
Dollar Spot Christmas Trees
So I found these cool oversized sticker sheets in the Dollar Spot at Target. I got a Christmas Tree, a Gingerbread House, and a Snowman. I laminated them so that I could use with more than one student. We used the Christmas Tree in therapy this week and had a LOT of fun. I wrote some […]
Scrambled Egg Sentences
I have several clients who have significant difficulty creating grammatical correct sentences during conversational speech. Two of them have goals for sequencing a group of words to make a sentence. We’ve used some great worksheets from Linguisystem’s No Glamour Grammar books. But after awhile, we were starting to get a little bored. One thing I […]
Gobble gobble pizza turkeys
I like using crafts and recipes in sessions when I can. It’s motivating for the kids and helps us to practice our speech and language targets in more of a carryover type of activity. This week we made pizza turkeys. We worked on following 2 step directions containing before, sequencing, paraphrasing directions, vocabulary, and articulation. […]
