Free Halloween Speech Therapy Activities

Alright, it's no secret: Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It comes as no surprise, then, that I LOVE incorporating this holiday (whenever possible) into my speech and language therapy sessions. This year, I teamed up with a group of incredible SLP bloggers and TPT authors to create some FREE Halloween Speech Therapy Activities for you. All of the heart/ pumpkin emojis, because these Halloween speech and language activities are AMAZING.

Free Speech Therapy Story and Song

First, I wrote a story about a Halloween frog. It's actually a song, if you're willing to have a little fun and sing to your students! The words pair perfectly to "Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky".

Visual Schedules for Speech Therapy

No print Speech therapy visual schedules for Google Slides ™! This no prep, digital activity is PERFECT for the busy Speech-Language Pathologist who needs to access a visual schedule FAST! Visual schedules provide a way to structure your speech and language sessions. Visual schedules assist with transitioning to a new activity, and in my experience, can help reduce challenging behaviors.

With this digital resource, you won't need to print out or laminate anything . Seriously! This is huge, and I'm so excited about it! All you need to do is tap !
