Are your students able to think about other people’s perspectives when thinking about presents at the holidays? This is a hard skill for a lot of neurotypical adults such as my husband. One year, he bought me a child sized Tinkerbell towel at Target. First of all, I am not a one of those fortunate child […]
Santa Berries {FREEBIE}
I love to incorporate theme or holiday activities into my speech therapy sessions. Sometimes I struggle with how to maximize my therapy time when I am working on an activity with a client. I try to think through an activity and the steps in the activity prior to the sessions so I can identify potential […]
“Guess Who” didn’t get her Freebie up before Christmas….
*Sigh* I started working on this really fun templates for Christmas “Guess who” but then with traveling and family obligations didn’t get it completed until after the holidays. I did try to ignore my 6 year old on the plane to get it done-but I’m pretty sure the gentleman in front of us appreciated my […]
Mama-on-Days: Tales from the Elf

Pictures of people shoving each other to get the best deal or one of the few televisions that a store puts out to lure shoppers into their store. Shopping and reporting on shopping has […]
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. […]
Gift getting: Perspective Taking
Last year, Jimmy Kimmel had a segment on his show called, “I gave my kids a terrible present.” In it, parents across America wrapped up cleaning products and old bananas and gave them to their children as presents. This is a great video to use during speech therapy for expected and unexpected behaviors. First from […]
Avoid the Tinkerbell towel: Gift giving perspective taking
