One of the best things to come out of the pandemic was my discovery of this website: I still use it every single week to make therapy materials for both tele-therapy and in-person sessions. Here is just a small sample of the games, schedules and coloring activities I've made over the past 3 years. It's reasonably priced ($36/year) and incredibly easy to use. The picture library is wonderful, but you can also upload your own photos or screenshots from the web. Highly recommend this resource for therapists, teachers and even parents.

In the past few years, I've become increasingly interested in literacy, as I've noticed that many clients, even those whose delayed language and speech sound disorders have been successfully remediated, have difficulty learning to read. Speech pathologists' knowledge of the various aspects of language--phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics is well-suited for providing reading intervention. Over many months of self-study I have found these two resources ( ) to be the most helpful in deepening my understanding of the science of reading and guiding my approach to intervention. They are both professional and parent friendly and provide many freebies!

Favorite book #4: Tap The Magic Tree by Christie Matheson. I love to use this interactive book for fall, but really, it's great anytime of year! I use it to target the following:
- Vocabulary related to the season and nature
- Following directions
- Turn-taking
- Predicting
- A group activity. Read the book and then make a tree together.

When COVID forced me to close my office, I struggled with the transition to teletherapy. But after a few months, I started to enjoy it and my clients made progress. I also liked the convenience, ease of scheduling, and increased parent involvement. I know remote therapy isn't appropriate for all children, but for many kids, this delivery model works quite well, which is why I will continue to offer it, even as I return to in-person sessions. Questions about teletherapy? Please reach out!

Favorite books #2 & #3 : Maisy's Fire Engine by Lucy Cousins & Fireman Small by Wong Herbert Lee.. Two for one in this post! I find Maisy is best for toddlers and early preschoolers, while Fireman Small is more appropriate for older preschoolers and early elementary kids. Both are great for describing actions and answering wh-questions, but best of all, the clear pictures in each book are fantastic for addressing sequencing and expanding play schemas. After reading the books, grab a few toys and act of the scenes!

Favorite book #1 and meet Dewey, the wanna be therapy dog!

I've had a copy of this book ever since I finished graduate school and use it for both evaluations and therapy. Elmo is a crowd favorite and the lift-the-flaps in this fun picture book are super engaging.

Here's how I use it:
Ages: Toddlers and early preschoolers.

Language goals targeted:
* identifying and labeling objects, actions; descriptive and spatial concepts
* turn-taking ("my turn" "your turn")
* answering yes/no and wh-questions
* predicting ("what do you think is under there?")

I love to incorporate books into my therapy practice. They are portable, low-cost or free with a library card and the speech-language skills you can address are endless. Here are some examples:
- labeling & identifying
- answering questions
- inferencing
- sequencing
- predicting
- play skills
- understanding emotions
Stay tuned for future posts that will include some details on my favorites!
