Categorization is another one of my favorite goals to work on. Categorization is really a fundamental skill which helps direct our thought processes. We use categorization to plan events, organize our homes, create shopping lists and navigate stores efficiently. In order to categorize objects appropriately, we need to be able to recognize similarities and […]
Organization: Make your own Speech Kits
I LOVE using manipulatives in therapy. Most of my clients are more motivated to participate in activities when there are objects involved. If I have a client who is struggling with a language concepts, I may move back towards objects-or pair objects with worksheets/picture cards to see if it improves their comprehension. There are commercially […]
Sunday Scrambling: St. Patrick’s Day Activities and a FREEBIE!
Anybody ever had vertigo after a cruise? It’s a really weird feeling. Too bad I can’t do all of my therapy laying on my side-or can I? I spent some time this Sunday organizing my activities for this week: 1. Shamrock Shakes: Mmmmm…..I used to love getting a Shamrock shake from McDonalds. This I’m going […]

What Am I: Vocabulary AND Articulation Extension Packs
Sometimes I struggle with clients who have language or vocabulary goals. I can’t teach EVERY vocabulary word they might need to know. So what to do? I find myself more and more trying to teach “strategies” to the child. When I have clients who come in who come in with vocabulary deficits and difficulty with […]
Having your cake and Eating it too
Last week was my birthday (in case you missed it.) We celebrated by making Cakes in a Cup. This activity had more ingredients then I typically like to use. But I liked the theme and was really curious how Microwave cake tastes. (very, very, very dense.) I got the recipe from Makinglearningfun.com Here’s what we […]
I have a target bag, who has a burner…
Here’s my PSA for the night. It’s not a good idea to place a Target bag on your ceramic stove top. The unfortunate consequence is that you will now have little red Target circles embedded into your burner. In my defense, I thought I had turned on a different burner. In spite of my mishaps […]
