One of the most important aspects of our practice in speech-language pathology is making sure our assessments and interventions are evidence-based and are in line with the current research. All I hear about in grad school is EBP EBP EBP!! It's THAT important. I have shelves full of textbooks and notes that have all of this information in it. However, is that really practical to flip through all that information all the time just for 1-2 paragraphs?! NO WAY! I was getting frustrated and wanted a quick and easy reference material to solve that problem. So I created this Evidence-Based Practice Binder to do just that! This binder is intended to be used as a tool to guide you in your decision making. It is intended to serve as a guide and summary and is, by no means, a replacement for the actual articles and research and is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Please read the articles listed for full descriptions. At the beginning of the binder, I have a section specifically on evidence-based practice, what it is and how to implement it. At the beginning of each section, you will find introductory information about various disorders and some assessment principles for certain areas. These are followed by charts for the most common areas of our field in the school, clinic, and hospital settings. In each chart are the therapy techniques for that area, the intended population, a description of the technique, the evidence showing it to be effective or ineffective, and other helpful notes. Also included are a list of commonly used apps for each area. Some of them are evidence-based, some are not. This binder could be used as a reference for day-to-day practice, when planning and implementing IEP goals, when addressing parent/employer concerns or questions, when studying for the Praxis exam, when you need a new or different technique to try, or when you have a particularly challenging case and need a starting point. The following areas are included: What is Evidence-Based Practice (pg. 4) Key Steps to Evidence-Based Practice (pg. 5) Overview of Assessment/Management of School-Age Population (pg. 6) Service Delivery (pg. 7-10) Articulation/Phonology (pg. 11-21) Social Language (pg. 22-37) Vocabulary (pg. 38-46) Grammar (pg. 47-56) Fluency (pg. 57-63) Phonological Awareness (pg. 64-69) Swallowing (pg. 70-82) Augmentative and Alternative Communication (pg. 83-92) Thank You (pg. 93) Terms of Use (pg. 94) Each area is separated by its own cover page. I plan to keep adding to this resource over time. If there is something you would like to see added, please email me at [email protected]! I'd be happy to add it for you. Does this seem like something you would like?? You can find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers store here! I will give a copy of this binder to one lucky reader!!

Speech Sound Cards These speech sound cards include every pure phoneme in the English language. Each card includes the phonetic transcription of a phoneme, an example word the phoneme is used in, a visual mouth picture of the production of the phoneme, and visual symbols and icons to help further define the specifics features of each phoneme (i.e. voicing, manner, placement). These cards are helpful when teaching specific sounds in therapy. They are also helpful when teaching the difference between sound substitutions (i.e. minimal pairs). And they are IDEAL for treating clients who have Apraxia or who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. You can build any word by laying cards in a row in sequential order. To do so, just print multiple copies of the document and cut out the cards. The visual support of the cards helps guide clients through all the sounds in each word and helps reduce errors such as omissions, substitutions, reductions, and even distortions. *Glildes, Dipthongs or Letters that are produced with more than one sound are not individually designated in this product (i.e. Q, W, Y, etc). However, each can be created by combining the appropriate sounds in this product listing. (For example: /K/+/U/ makes the Q sound). But please keep in mind, this product does have every sound available in the English language. So you are able to build any word possible by combining these speech sound cards. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!!!

We have a lot of language developmental milestones charts out there, but most of them end around age 6. After that, you’ll be hard pressed to find a neat little chart...

Welcome to Day 2 of Speech-A-Palooza! I hope you enjoyed Whitney's post yesterday! Today's post is from Jen Alcorn, author of Crazy Speech World. Themes are something new I am trying this year, too. I had always done the traditional holiday themes, but I am now trying out a new theme every other week. This post will be helpful for any of you that use themes in your therapy sessions... or are thinking about doing it! One of the most popular questions I get is about using themes for therapy. Mostly, how do I plan my themes? I'm sure other people have different methods, but here is how I do it... My therapy themes are simple and straightforward. Over the summer, I sit down with my calendar and map it out. It takes an hour or two, but it ends up making therapy planning incredibly easier. Why? Because you are able to narrow your focus. When I tackled this project the first time, it was a little overwhelming. But the more you do it, the more comfortable you become with the process and it ended up being pretty easy for me this past summer. Something you may find helpful is from Perkilou Products...it is a four week calendar for every month of the year. It gave me ideas when I was first starting to create my own. My own version is a little different. I center my planning around holidays and seasons, some of which I use for two weeks. You can download my version HERE. I also created a blank version, which you can grab HERE. After this part comes the fun stuff...finding materials! Blogs. I think these are the best places to get inspired and find activities. Pinterest. I have seen tons of Pin Boards dedicated to specific holidays, seasons, or themes. You can even search by theme using the search box. Books. Look through your own or go visit the library! You can find a book on any topic, try to find various levels, as well as fiction and non-fiction. Go through your STUFF! Pull your files out and go through your cabinets. I bet you have tons of your own materials that you can use :) I have started organizing my themes by binders to keep up with it all. I bought tons of page protectors to keep all my original worksheets and materials in, and all of my activities for that theme go in the binder. I also make a list of all the manipulatives that I have that go with the theme...like I have jack-o-latern baskets I can use for Halloween or the Popcorn containers with the carnival theme. I just don't want to forget what I have! We always have so much STUFF! I still use my trusty bag of favorites...CandyLand, Apples to Apples, Chipper Chat etc. to fill in the gaps. Not everything I do is related to the theme, but I love having the organization of using themes in therapy. I really believe that it has positively impacted my therapy and I would encourage any SLP to do it!
