Do you work over the summer? I have always worked year round. I love to use themes over the summer-it engages my clients and makes speech therapy seem a little bit more like a camp. My idea of camping is generally staying at a resort by the lake-doesn’t have to be fancy but I prefer […]
Recycled Guest Posts: Functional language therapy: Making Chips in Therapy
I’m recycling some guest posts I did over the last year while I am on vacation. I hope you are having a great week!******************* I really enjoy incorporating hands on activities: crafts, experiments, gross motor games and cooking in my therapy sessions. I use these activities with early Elementary clients up to Middle school […]
Christmas Tree Cones: Rerun Christmas Activity
December has turned into a really busy month for me. Since last December I was still running under 500 page views, I thought I’d rerun a few of my posts. This is one of my favorite crafts to do at Christmas: *********************************************************************************I love to make quick snack crafts in Speech therapy. It’s an easy way […]
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 […]
Halloween: Creepy Spider activities
The other night I was working on finishing up a project when I saw a decent sized (but not monstrously large) spider crawling across my wall. I looked around quickly for some spider killing equipment but didn’t have any shoes or kleenexes handy. Plus every once in awhile I start to think about reincarnation. What […]
Smoothtastic: The extra blender
My husband has a difficult time picking out the right gift for people. One year there was the “Tinkerbell towel” debacle. One year for our anniversary he bought me a Tinkerbell watch. Well, I thought it was a watch…. But it was actually a watch/lip gloss combination. This was in my late 30’s. I’m […]
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 […]
Not for the weak of Heart: Bologna Valentines
People generally have strong feelings about bologna. I remember my first bologna sandwich. I’m pretty sure it was on the now defunct “Wonder bread” with one slice of bolonga and my name written in mustard on it. The best part of these sandwiches was that when you placed your finger down it would leave little […]
Speech-a-dilla’s
I was cleaning out my kitchen last weekend and found my quesadilla maker in the back of one of my cabinets. I’ve never met a kitchen appliance I didn’t like, but eventually they end up dusty in the back of one of my cabinets. I’m betting you could score a few at your local Goodwill. […]
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. […]
