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. …

Irregular Plurals with Toca Boca World
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 …
Regulation Tool: Hot Cocoa Breaths
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 …
Somatosensory Training with Books

Social Inferencing with Toca Boo!
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?”).
Regulation Tool: Mermaid Pillows
I just love these pillow cases! I also bought these inserts to go with them. Every regulation tool can be used for any zone and they can have different effects on each child, but Mermaid Pillows seem to most often help kids who are in the yellow zone and feeling worried, overwhelmed, scared, or frustrated. …
Zones of Regulation Poster Companion
To continue the topic from my blog last month, once children are able to identify others’ emotions based on their facial expression they can then learn to identify their own emotions. Once they’re able to do that then they’re able to start identifying strategies to help keep their behavior “expected” by addressing their emotions as …
Using 2 iPads for Socially-Distanced Speech & Language Evaluations & Treatment

If you’d like to broadcast from a PC I recommend the “LetsView” app, though it’s less reliable than EasyCast. Step 2: …
