Need an easy, spring themed craft to brighten up your therapy space?  Try this easy flower craft! Crafts are always a great way to target following directions ("Show me a small petal"), prepositions ("Glue that to the top of the page"), and requesting (by having your students ask for each item they need). These flower crafts are also easy to adapt for articulation, phonology, grammar, and describing! Simply use different colored paper to cut out "petals," and glue them around a yellow circle for the middle of the flower.   Have your students write (or have the therapist w ..read more

SLP Reading List
Natalie Snyders, SLP

3y ago
In my opinion, books and speech-language pathology go together like peanut butter and jelly!  They're two of my favorite things in the world, and complement each other so well. I not only love using children's books in therapy, but I also love expanding my knowledge in the field through reading... although I sadly don't often have enough time suring the school year to keep up with my ever growing "to read" pile.  I'm hoping to have some time over spring break - or (let's be real!) over summer vacation to have a chance to catch up on my reading. I recently shared a some of the ..read more

Easy, Low Prep Idea for Mixed Articulation Groups

by

Do you ever get bored with the same old flashcard (and maybe a game) drill with your mixed articulation groups, especially for your older elementary students?  It's so hard to plan for students working on different sounds or levels, so you have given up being creative? I've got a new therapy idea for you!  And BONUS - it's about as low prep as you can get. First, you'll want to grab a piece of paper.  Divide the paper into the same number of sections as you have students in your group.  Then, write at least 10 words in each section that have each student's targets in th ..read more

Sometimes, as busy school SLPs, we need a reason to laugh!  Here are five problems (intended in fun!) only my fellow SLPs understand. Why do you work with Johnny?  I understand him just fine. Hey, Mrs. Snyders!  Happy Balentimes day! When you are informed that three new kids just moved in with speech-language therapy on their IEPs, which means you will have to rework your entire schedule. Occupational hazard: spit on your glasses. Getting mail in your box for the "speech coach." What would you add to my list ..read more

Top 10 Books for Speech Language Therapy
Natalie Snyders, SLP
by
3y ago
Books are a great way to target many different speech and language skills in therapy, particularly for mixed groups!  You can use them to target goals such as: describing story retell past tense verbs predicting inferencing comparing/contrasting identifying problems/solutions articulation and phonology expanding utterances answering WH questions and more! One thing I often do is stick notes in a book after I read it, to help remind me what specific targets or questions I asked.  Sometimes I use post it notes, and sometimes I use sticky library pockets and index cards.  T ..read more

Mini Shopping Carts in Speech Language Therapy

Have you seen these adorable miniature shopping carts before?  I spotted them a while ago at Hobby Lobby (similar here on Amazon or  Etsy) and had to grab them for use in therapy! I wanted to share some ways I have been using them in therapy. These are great for use with sensory bins when targeting articulation, phonology, or pronouns!  As my students "discover" each individual item hidden in my different sensory bins, we pretend they are shopping for the item.  I'll pick a set word or phrase, depending on their target, that they have to say before placing the item in t ..read more

Personal Dictionary - Free Printable

Do you struggle with coming up with an organized way to keep track of new vocabulary terms for your students?  I have created a free printable to help! Research (Wright & Cervetti, 2016) shows that simply being told a definition is not enough when it comes to actually learning a given term.  Students need to be actively engaged in thinking about the word meaning, and this printable provides a great starting point for your therapy discussion!  I like to start by asking my students if they have ever come across this word or what it makes them think of.  We talk about n ..read more

Preposition Reference Chart

I don't know about you, but I often have students that need extra visuals to help learn a concept.  I realized the other day in the midst of a session with a sensory bin with a kindergarten student that I needed something to help with preposition or direction terms. So, I created this preposition reference chart, and made one for you, too!  :)  I've found it helpful in structured play settings with my younger students. This free download is available in my store in a full or half page version.  I hope you find it helpful ..read more
