Hi! I’m Kelly from Speech2u.blogspot. I’m really excited to be participating in the dabblingspeechie’s Wise Wallet Wednesdays. I know I’m always looking for a way to stretch those budget dollars (when I have a budget, that is.) If you are lucky enough to get a budget and get materials, I’m going to show you a […]
Whole Body Listening: Sponge Bob Style
Whole Body Listening is a concept that was introduced by Susanne P. Truesdale and first written about in the Language Speech and Hearing Services in the Schools. It teaches children the skill of listening by breaking down what each part of the body does. For example, our hands help us to listen by being quiet […]
Snowman Protein Shake Container Card Eaters
Like many people, I find it easy to fall into a love/hate relationship with my body. In my twenties, I spent too much time obsessing over my hair-I wanted it to look just like a character on General Hospital. But no matter how much I tried or where I got my hair cut, I couldn’t […]
The Speech Gobbler: A reinforcement turkey craftivitiy
I saw an occupational therapist making something like this with each of her clients and thought this could be a fun way to work on different therapy targets with a Thanksgiving theme. Have you ever looked at the difference between therapy crafts made during speech therapy sessions versus occupational therapy sessions? I usually prep before […]
Halloween Paper Craftivities: Rerun
Do you come up with new Holiday activities or do you tend to have your same Holiday activities that you use year after year? I definitely have some of my favorite activities that I use. I used to LOVE to scrapbook. I’d go on Scrapbooking weekends, or all night Scrapathons. I have a whole bunch […]
Make your own: Superhero Card eaters
Who knew that something so easy as can with a hole in it would be motivating in Speech Therapy? I’ve used Super Duper’s animal buddies before when I am doing drill work. It’s pretty fun for my younger kids. There are four animals on the box and you can feed the animals their favorite foods. […]
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 […]
Halloween Paper Crafts
I was at Archivers (a scrapbook store) a few years ago (when I still had time to scrapbook.) They have die cut machines which allow you to punch shapes out of scrabooking paper. One of the punches was of a fence and the other one I made was of a house with a door that […]
Halloween masks
I used to have a whole box of masks and novelty headbands. “Ex. I’m a rabbit, I’m the devil etc.” _ that I would use in speech therapy. I left it at an on old job and found that I missed it. 1. Eye Contact/Facial Referencing: There’s nothing like putting on a pair of rabbit […]
