This past week we've been enjoying toys and games during our therapy sessions. With COVID it's been awhile since we've sat closer at a table and shared game pieces so this week was so much fun for the kids and myself! Over the years I have created a wide variety of game companions and mats that can be used to target a variety of speech and language skills while also playing with toys or games. Each activity is available separately but I have also bundled most of these Toys and Game companions on TPT for a discount! All the pictures below are linked. Check them out! Playdough Mats First up, playdough mats! I have a range of articulation and language mats that make planning mixed groups super easy. Pop it Companions This is a new companion I made this year when the Pop it craze took over my kids. They love this one! Play N' Say Mats Uno is always requested with my kids in grades 2nd-5th. These mats make it easy to target speech sounds while also playing. When they play a card they must say the word on the color mat that matches. Speech Builders I printed and laminated these strips and use them with a variety of blocks. Duplo, legos and hashtag blocks, they love them all! While most of the toys and games we've played with are physical games, we have many boom card games we play too. Tic-Tac-Talk This is an easy one for the beginning or the end of a session. We always get a lot of trials in when we play this game. Articulation Four-in-a-Row I have an articulation and a language version of this game. It's similar to Connect 4 except players can put their pieces anywhere on the board. First to four in a row wins! Game Companions This file has open-ended mats for a large variety of games. So many ways to play! Guess What? A little while ago I made an Articulation Mini-Objects kit and we use them to play many different games. This Guess What poster is an easy way to play using a mystery box or bag. We hide objects and the kids ask questions to figure out what's inside. Some of my kids need a little more help than the poster so we may use these Mystery Box mats to give them an idea of what could be inside the box. For my preschoolers I have a collection of toddler toys/games we like to play with to increase overall language skills. These Vocabulary Parking Lots are free and so much fun to "park" our cards on different words. Also for my younger kids or for my kids who are working to expand language skills we incorporate Aided Language Mats into our play. We place the mats near the toys and point to the words as we use them or try to incorporate these common words while we play. Play-Based Speech and Language Therapy Another FREE resource, are these play-based cards that give ideas, tips or tricks to target speech and/or language skills during play. These are super helpful to send home to parents for home practice too. That's a wrap for toys and games. We played this past week but we often incorporate these toys and games throughout the year!

Formally known as sensory integration dysfunction, sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition in which the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information (e.g., smell, touch, taste, etc.) that an individual perceives, thus, resulting in atypical responses. Individuals with SPD can be hypersensitive (over responsive) and or hyposensitive (under responsive) to things in their environment. For example, some sounds may be painful or overwhelming to a child, b

It's no secret that we play a lot of games in speech therapy. Games offer great opportunities for using language and they make practicing skills that may be hard for students to do more fun. I have put together a list of my most played games in therapy. Sometimes we play them to increase overall language or social skills while other times we play to target a specific skill. I have also created some open-ended templates to use with the games to help us stay on track with practicing our goals while also playing. If you are interested in the game companions, I have linked them to the pictures. The games themselves offer a lot of unstructured language and pragmatic skill opportunities! Pop the Pig This is the #1 most requested game. It is great for taking turns and making requests. I usually don't use the dice but instead, have the student's request which color they want. Connect 4 This game is great when I only have two students in the group or if it's a one-on-one session. The concept of this game is a little harder for my younger students to understand so I usually play with 2nd grade and up. Kerplunk I like games that build suspense and this one definitely does that. Only downside to this game is that it tends to be over relatively quickly and the marbles can get away from us. Zingo This game is great for pre-K, kindergarten and 1st grade. My kids that work on language skills get lots of opportunities to match and name simple pictures of objects. It also has a good variety of simple words to work on articulation skills too. Candy Land Another pre-K, kindergarten and 1st-grade favorite game. I do get some who are discouraged when they have to move backward if they get a "specialty" card so sometimes I will just take those out of the deck to avoid it. This one also offers good opportunities for counting too. Spot It My 1st-5th graders love this one and I do too because it's quick and easy! It doesn't involve any set-up. We usually play and search for words that contain our articulation sound. Sometimes we'll play for fun at the end of a session to monitor carryover skills. Tumbling Monkeys Another game that my kids ask for a lot is Tumbling Monkeys. This one takes a little longer to set up but it takes a while to play so it can usually last the entire session. Don't Spill the Beans This game is great for little ones but it is another game that is over quickly so we usually play 3-4 times and then move on to something else during a session. Let's Go Fishing! The noise of this game can get a little unnerving but it is another good game for pre-K and kindergarten. This one doesn't require much turn-taking or requesting but you can work on counting and naming/identifying colors with this game. It's also super quick to set-up. It's also a great reinforcer game for the end of a session or if a student needs breaks throughout a session. Ants in the Pants This game is so fun because ants are usually just flying everywhere when we play. My kindergarten-2nd graders usually like to play this game but I've been surprised that my older kids will ask to play it too. Pop Up Pirate This game is definitely suspenseful and similar to Pop the Pig because you put in swords until the pirate pops up. The downside is that this one is usually over pretty quickly too so we will usually play several rounds during a session. Jenga This game is best for 3rd grade and up as my little ones usually just like knocking it over. My older kids really get that you DON'T want it to fall and play with more purpose. Uno I think my 4th and 5th graders would play Uno every session if I let them. They love this game and really understand the concept. The companion helps us to focus on speech goals while playing too. I always find it funny that even my oldest students (4th and 5th grade) still love to play many of these games and ask for them often! I hope this has given you some new ideas for games to play during therapy!

Children start learning speech sounds from the moment they're born! Sweet cries of WAAAAH or contented sounds, ooh, are actually developmental milestones that you should keep track of and are ways that a child may communicate to parents or caregivers. Making noises and sounds are essentially linguistic cross training to developing more advanced speech sounds; speech sounds leads to stringing sounds together to form words and sentences. In Early Start, one of the most frequently asked questions

Did you know that visual session schedules can benefit almost ANY young student (neurotypical or neurodiverse). I use visual session schedules with almost all of my students in speech therapy (please note: a session schedule has images that represent the activities on your lesson plan for the day in therapy, this is different from the students' visual schedules they would use in the classroom). Please note: it is important to support your nuerodiverse student's needs, please consider this when

Two years ago I posted this image on my SLP Runner Facebook Page of a strategy I was using with students. My students really liked figuring out the blending words and they made progress at producing their sounds. I received a lot of feedback on this idea and knew that I wanted to create a product with this idea in mind. I have an abundance of ideas sitting in a folder taunting me to get started. Fast forward to last week when we were hit with 2 feet of snow in Vermont. The storm resulted in two snow days and I finally sat down and got to work. 16 hours later, and with the help of some adorable clip art I bring to you S-Blends Snake. Enjoy a Snnnnnnnnappy, Snnnnnnnnnnazzy, Ssssssssspecial kind of day.
Tension in R Therapy is important. I will tell you how to, and why you should be working on it with students.
Barrier games are a great tool for speech therapy! They are a great way to incorporate many expressive skills, receptive skills, and social skills in an engaging way.
