Technically, it is Cupid’s blow dart but that doesn’t sound nearly as festive. I’ve got a really fun activity that I’ve been using in therapy all week. I has seen a version of this activity on kidsactivityblog.com. Check it out HERE. My clients love anything that involves crumpling things up, knocking things over or throwing […]
My new obsession: Tack It
Another one of my SLP friends introduced me to Aleene’s Tack It last year. I pulled out some Christmas stickers that I had laminated a few years ago and decided to try Tack It so that I could hang the Christmas tree up on the door and have my clients walk, hop, run, crab-walk across […]
Recycled Guest Posts: Wise Wallet Wednesdays: Don’t Throw Away those Packing Materials.
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 […]
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 […]
Tuesday Turkey Leftovers: 3 super quick crafts
I love holiday weeks because I can pick 1-2 activities and use them with most of my clients. It saves on my planning and set up time. I pick up little activities as I see them in the store. This year I went a little bit crazy for Thanksgiving. So instead of saving myself prep […]
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. […]
Third Thursday Three-for-All {linky party}
Welcome to the first 3rd Thursday 3 for all! It’s my first attempt at a linky party-they are way more fun than the old Home Interior’s parties. Does anyone remember those? They sold not-my-style decorations for the home. Think a giant framed painted picture of a girl and her dog-with a coordinating shelf and then […]
Video modeling: Editing out cues
Video modeling is an effective tool for strengthening new behaviors, teaching new skills and working on social skills. In general, video modeling should show your client what you WANT them to do. We want them to have as many positive models of the expected behavior as possible. If you want to work on Michelle Garcia […]
Light Box Therapy
Last year, there was a plethora of postings about using your own light table during therapy. I saw postings on Play at home mom, Testy Yet Trying and Speech Room News. This was also around the time that I started having some anxiety about the lack of fun sensory experiences I’d given to my then […]
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 […]
