Inexpensive motivational tools I ❤️ using in my speech therapy sessions.
1. Magnetic counters and wand. Probably my most used tool in my clinic. Bright, colourful, fun!
2. Popper toys. I prefer this long numbered one. Change the word every 5 pops.
3. Ice cube tray. Fill a row (or 3) with anything small- think rubbers, minis, counters....
4. Mini rubbish bin. This came from a friend (can one buy these still??). Very appealing to kids. Push the pedal and the lid lifts. A good one for minimal pair work.
5. Abacus. I adhere 4 pictures on the left and the child picks a row. Every time they say the word, they push a bead across. Easy. A fast way to get lots of trials.
