  • 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
