Spinners for Games I’ve made these FREE spinners for the old Candy Land (with Nana Nut’s house), the new Candy Land (with the Chocolate Falls), and Sorry so that I can use the easy-to-disinfect iPads instead of the cards that came with the board games. Spinners for Articulation/Phonology Drill is my least favorite technique and …
I’m still seeing 60% of my patients online. That means I only have the germs of 10 patients (plus their parents and myself) cycling through my treatment room. It also means that in the case I need to quarantine it will change nothing for the treatment of most of my patients. For the best telehealth …
The more I check with parents about their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming approval of the COVID-19 vaccine for children the more I’m reminded of this. We each have different circumstances, experiences, and priorities and we’re each doing the best we can during this “storm.” My goal is to stay compassionate as I adapt …
My patients love my Li’l Woodzeez, Calico Crittersm, & HOney Bee Acres sets. I originally bought the Li’l Woodzeez camper set (for $34.99) and the Li’l Woodzeez chipmunk family, which is apparently no longer available, (for $9.99) because I thought they were adorable, but I’ve since added pieces and sets to target various grammatical features. …
I made another tutorial for Toca Boca World. In this one I show how to make a room to target irregular plurals. Unfortunately, there aren’t as many irregular plural targets with the free version of Toca Boca World. Here are the addons you can buy to add more targets: Here are more of my favorite …
I’m loving this zones tool, which I got from here! I don’t have chocolate markers (and some of my telehealth kids don’t, either) so I just use a completely pretend version. To use this tool have a child pretend they’re holding a cup of hot cocoa. Have them first take a deep breath in through …
One of the things that helped me the most with my struggles with anxiety was somatosensory training. At its most basic, somatosensory training helps us learn to pay attention to the way emotions feel in our bodies. This then allows us to address these emotions and keep ourselves regulated throughout the day. I love Listening …
Before COVID-19 I kept a sensory tub. I would change the filling every month and my patients would use it to help their regulation as we worked. Now that I’m more concerned about the kids sharing germs I’ve switched to individual containers of sensory supports. I keep each child’s sensory support in their own box …
I loved Amelia Bedelia when I was growing up in the early 90s! In fact, I often wonder if my love for these books is why I became an SLP. Amelia Bedelia has had a bit of a makeover since then: she’s now a child! Honestly, that makes more sense! If you’ve never read these …
I thought this would be the perfect app since it’s Halloween-themed! Here’s my tutorial on how I’m using this app to target social inferencing (“How do these two people know each other?”).
