It's getting closer and closer to the start of the school year! I've loved my experience working in the outpatient pediatric world, but recently accepted a position at an elementary school. Since I'm about to get back in the school setting in a few weeks, this "back to school" sale is super exciting for me. I have a TON of products in my cart. Thank you Jenna over at Speech Room News for hosting this linky party . It makes it so much easier to shop! Be sure to stop back there to check out more carts ! First, let me tell you about a few products in my store that I believe are must-haves to kick off your school year. I am so, so proud of my Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling Book Companion . While at my previous position, I had the chance to use this product with a number of kiddos, and they were LOVING it. I think I got teary-eyed each week when they would ask questions like, "Can we read more of that Harry Potter book?" or &quo

When I was fresh out of graduate school and very low on cash, I was pretty overwhelmed at my CFY position. I had multiple children with multiple needs, and not a whole lot of money to buy materials. (...Thank goodness for TPT...) I ran to Target and grabbed some Uno cards (Harry Potter- themed, naturally, and only about $5), and also a small Simon game. These games were portable and light-weight. Now I just needed to figure out how to use them. Here I am, 5 years later, and I have now perfected my grab-n-go Uno (Mattel) & Simon (Hasbro) open-ended articulation games. I created these pages on Boardmaker (check this out if you haven't yet!), and simply store them in a page protector sheet. Grab a dry erase marker, your Uno or Simon, and you are ready to go! I love Simon (licensed by Hasbro). Check out my other post on how to use the Full Size Simon in your therapy session. This game is great for targeting working memory. When I'm using it to target articulation, I have the s

I was shopping with family this weekend, and on a whim, we decided to walk into a boutique toy store. As a pediatric SLP, I knew this was dangerous, but was confident in myself that I could walk in and out of the store without purchasing anything. I failed. I came across a giant version of one of my favorite therapy tools, Simon (Licensed by Hasbro)! Eeeek! Apparently it's called a Full Size Simon, and after googling it when I got home, I could have saved money by purchasing it online. So anyways ... The beginning of the school year is approaching, and I can't wait to try out the new "companion" I quickly created to go along with my new purchase. I decided to make a little "Getting to Know You" activity to use with my kiddos... I laminated the pages for extra durability, and so that my students can use a dry erase marker to cross off prompts after they've targeted them. If you wanted to modify this activity, you easily could. I'm thinking of creatin

Oh hey there, Speechie. Hopefully you are sitting on the beach somewhere, enjoying a pina colada, and not thinking about IEPs (because it is summer, after all). If this is what you are doing, please take a sip for me. But if not, and you're on the prowl for some ideas for articulation therapy, you'll be glad you stopped by. I've finally gotten around to putting together this bundle. I've dreamed about it for awhile, I have to admit. It's been on the consonantly growing "to do" list. Check . Perhaps you've had the chance to read about how much I love history, and perhaps not. Regardless, I'm super pumped because my dream has come true- I have finally merged my love of nerdom history with articulation therapy. Therefore, it is now possible for you to: visit the Middle Ages, travel the Oregon Trail, visit Ancient Greece, meet a gladiator in Ancient Rome, and unwrap (or, well, at least color ) a mummy in Ancient Egypt... all without the use of a colo

I don't know about you, but there's a few things I absolutely love: • fun therapy sessions • traveling • London & • Kate Middleton's hair While I honestly can't help anyone with the glamorous, camera- ready hair (although I have mastered the fishtail braid!), I can at least help you out with the first item on my list. If you have kiddos with fluency disorders on your caseload, I know you'll adore this British- themed packet I've created. Check it out: Finish the Rhyme Your students will definitely laugh while finishing these British-themed rhymes using slow, easy speech. I was super excited that the word "loo" is so easy to rhyme with... Word, Phrase, & Sentence Practice Practice normal speech, abrupt glottal attacks, and using “easy” + “gentle” speech with these British- themed prompt cards.
