So I decided to dive right in!  I had no idea that the 'blogging thing' I stumbled upon would become such an intense passion! I started The Speech Bubble SLP to share thoughts, ideas, and activities to help professionals find ways to help their clients/students express what is in each of their ' speech bubbles' <-- get it ;)  After all, everyone has the right to be heard!

We know verbs are essential in communication but so often we inadvertently end up focusing on nouns.⁣⁣-⁣⁣Lowman et al 2018, stated that lack of knowledge of instructional verbs like: identify, sort, select, etc could have a negative impact on their engagement and learning process 😯⁣⁣-⁣⁣Snape and Krott, 2018 found that⁣⁣🔹kids could learn new verbs from simultaneous examples as long as...⁣⁣🔹the examples were different.⁣⁣-⁣⁣So when you are working on those action words be sure to use lots of different examples for the same verbs 🏃‍♀️⁣⁣-⁣⁣The Hanen Centre has a longer list of early learned verbs if you're interested. The article from Snape and Krott, 2018 is linked my profile 👍⁣⁣-⁣⁣bit.ly/VERBSARTICLE⁣⁣-#thespeechbubbleslp #schoolslp #slife #speechtherapyideas ... See MoreSee Less

  • Don’t get me wrong I enjoy working on all other speechy things, but language has my heart.  Last year, I was doing some research for my Language Goal List and stumbled across this awesome Language Processing Method Treatment Model handout.  Talk about hea
  • SLPs rely on grouping students to meet goals and required minutes.  Articulation groups are one of the most common ways SLPs use to help students with articulation ( and phonological ) disorders.  While this may be the most common we need to ask ourselves, is it really the most effective?
  • Prompts and Cues. These words are part of the specialized language that we learn as Speech-Language Pathologists.  They are right up there with fluency and aphasia.  We use these words all the time and probably interchangeably, but it is important to understand the difference, and yes, there is a difference.
  • Need some ways to spice up your speech therapy on these COLD winter days?? Re-imagine how you're using Playdough in the classroom! Great activities here in the blog, with ideas on how to use playdough to encourage articulation and language development!
  • Communication goes beyond texting these days. Sometimes emojis say more than words. (Did you ever go to the hospital and they made you express your pain with an emoji?!) This is a fun way to use emojis in speech therapy. It is a great exercise for junior
  • What you should bring to an IEP meeting.  Now we all know that IEP meetings are super fun…right, but when we don’t have what we need it can really take the confetti out of the party.  So here are the things you should have with you at every IEP meeting to keep those good times rolling.
  • Are you a speech therapists and are feeling a bit out of the loop among teachers at school? Take a look at this article about when the SLP isn't in THE PLASTICS (get the Mean Girl reference?) at school. #SLP #fittingin #niche #makingfriends #community #SP
  • Timers are a great way to keep speech therapy moving, have fun games, and manage behaviors. Timers are great, but having the right ones can make all the difference.
  • It's that time of year when chaos ensues! Too little time. Too much to do. And suddenly your classroom looks like a tornado came through. Time to take a time out to ORGANIZE. Get those wiggly kids in some flexible seating WITH STORAGE! You won't regret it
