Speech Language Pathology

Learning the alphabet, all 26 letters, can be daunting. Some pick it up quickly through repeated exposure to educational TV shows, DVD’s, books, and toys. Others seem to need a little extra help. There is so much to learn.

Last week, I posted about Common Core Math Vocabulary.  Two of the words on the kindergarten list were 'larger' and 'smaller'---so I decided to modify a Tarheel Reader book, going beyond 'big' and 'little'.

Practice matching and expressing associations with this summer themed activity!!  Get ready to head to the beach and have some fun!

As part of my celebration of Better Hearing and Speech Month, a blog reader, Connie Ziko, is sharing some of her old speech therapy materials. It's clear I'm still a newby in this field. I have colorful fun decks and clipart galore.

Since the dawn of time, humankind has yearned for control. While we can’t give you more control over most of your life, we can give you more control over your widgets.

It seems as though school speech pathologists work all the time.  When I read others' blogs, I read about midnight evaluation writing, staying until dinner at school to write therapy notes, Saturday afternoons spent making materials, Sunday nights...

It's another Monday, and it's a lovely 65-degrees over here in Michigan. Finally Spring has arrived! :)
Today I am posting a fabulous activity packet that touches on verbs, pronouns, and even prepositions.

The weather is starting to warm up (well, in some places anyway!) as Spring is here. It is time to get OUTDOORS with your little ones and PLAY!

 
A few months ago, I wrote a blog about making speech and language goals integrated throughout the IEP. One person commented, “We need to work smarter, not harder.” I completely agree.

I'm still learning how to teach social skills.  I went to a couple of Michelle Garcia Winner's talks, read her books, perused her website, but I still feel like a student teacher.    A resource teacher and I team-teach four third-graders who have...

Is it me, or is the week after Spring Break a total workout? I'm totally wiped out! Thanks to all of you who have requested language packets that match the spring grammar unit. I've got the Expressive Language version of Carrotville completed!

Time for another Better Hearing & Speech Month freebie & giveaway!!
For this week....Say & Color! Synonym Street!
Students must express synonyms for the words within the pictures in order to color them!

OK. It's the LAST few weeks of school. If you're like me you're making tons of summer recommendations  I've got a new one for you. I Dare You Articulation is the newest app develop by Erik X. Raj.

We live in a time of constant exposure to loud sounds.

All kinds of organizations make their home on WordPress.com: small businesses, municipalities, religious organizations, schools, community groups. We also provide an online HQ for quite a few non-profits, from the global to the hyperlocal.

There are just a few hours left in NaPoWriMo 2013 — that is, National Poetry Writing Month, which asks participants to write a poem every day in April — and hundreds of resident WordPress poets are pressing “Publish” on their final stanzas and...

Today, we celebrate Earth Day. Perhaps you’re marking the occasion by attending a volunteer clean-up event in your neighborhood, talking with your children about recycling, or choosing to bike to work, all in the name of environmental stewardship.

I live with talkers, though my children are both young teens so I gather this could change any day.  I hear about the school day, friends, homework, funny anecdotes when I pick them up at school and I love being a part of their life in this way.

Today I will be reviewing Teach Speech 365's activity: There Was A Silly SLP (Plurals)!  
This activity includes an interactive story that is an original creation from Teach Speech!  It is about an SLP that gets glue all over her!

April is Autism Awareness month and so many great App creators have offered up highly discounted and free apps to professionals to utilize with special populations.  When I was looking through those great apps, one popped up that I hadn’t heard of...

Hi everyone! For Materials Monday (well, Tuesday, I suppose), I have decided to upload the quick speech homework pack that I am using this month for artic. homework. I don't send home artic. homework every week, so I usually send it home monthly.
