❄️☃️ Snowball Fight—Therapy Style! ☃️❄️

Taped little people onto cups, stacked them up, and let the snowball fight begin! This simple setup packs in BIG benefits for learning and regulation.

Why this activity is a win:
🎯 Increased trials:
Each throw = another opportunity to practice targets
(sounds, words, directions, turn-taking, comments)

🌀 Vestibular input:
Reaching, throwing, bending, and resetting the cups keeps bodies moving and brains engaged

🗣️ Language opportunities:
• “Ready…set…GO!”
• “I hit it!” “Down!” “Again!”
• Following multi-step directions

Easy ways to adapt goals:
✔️ Say a word/sound before each throw
✔️ Answer a question to earn a snowball
✔️ Count hits or describe what happened

Minimal prep. Maximum engagement.
Because movement + play = more learning ❄️✨

💌 Valentine Jokes = Sneaky Literacy Practice! 💌

Did you know telling Valentine jokes is a GREAT way to generalize literacy skills? 😄

When kids read or tell jokes, they’re practicing:
❤️ Reading fluency
❤️ Comprehension (getting the joke)
❤️ Vocabulary & multiple meanings
❤️ Sentence structure
❤️ Expressive language

Try this at home:
➡️ Read a Valentine joke together
➡️ Talk about why it’s funny
➡️ Have your child retell it to someone else
➡️ Let them make up their own silly joke!

Learning sticks best when it’s FUN — and nothing says learning like giggles from a good joke 😆💘

❄️🧠 Snowflake Emotions Memory Match = SO many goals in one activity! 🧠❄️

This winter-themed emotions match isn’t just a game—it’s a full therapy toolbox in disguise 👇

Ways to use it in sessions or at home:
🔍 Hide & Seek:
Hide the snowflakes around the room and describe them to find (“happy snowflake,” “blue one,” “big smile”).

🗣️ Imitation for Apraxia:
Have students imitate emotion words, syllables, or short phrases before flipping a card
(“ha-ppy,” “mad,” “I feel sad”).

💭 Inferencing:
“What do you think happened?”
“Why might they feel this way?”

❤️ Emotional Awareness:
• “What makes YOU feel this way?”
• Connect to real-life experiences

🟦🟩🟨🟥 Zones of Regulation:
Sort snowflakes into zones and discuss body clues and coping tools.

🌡️ Size of the Problem:
Is this a big snowflake problem or a little snowflake problem? What’s a just-right reaction?

I could keep going ON & ON!

So much learning from one simple game—language, articulation, social skills, and regulation all in one ❄️✨

✨ Parent Education = Powerful Progress ✨

One of my favorite ways to support carryover is by sending simple, clear visuals home for families to use 🏡💬

This themed therapy cheat sheet goes home so parents can:
✔️ See exactly what skills we’re targeting
✔️ Ask meaningful WH-questions
✔️ Practice comparing, categorizing, and sequencing
✔️ Turn everyday moments into language opportunities

When parents know what to work on and how to work on it, progress doesn’t stop at the therapy table—it continues at home ❤️

💡 Tip: Pick 1–2 questions during dinner or car rides. Short, intentional practice makes a BIG difference!

💬 “Should I be worried… or just wait?”
If you have a 2–3 year old and that question keeps popping into your head, you’re not alone.

Many parents hesitate to schedule a speech-language evaluation because they’re hoping their child will “catch up.” And sometimes they do! But here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough 👇

✨ Early evaluations don’t label your child — they support them.
An evaluation simply gives you clarity. It tells us:
• What your child is already doing well
• What skills are still developing
• Whether support is needed now or just monitoring and strategies at home

The toddler years are a critical window for language development. The brain is growing fast, connections are forming quickly, and even small supports during this stage can make a BIG difference later on.

💡 Reaching out early doesn’t mean something is “wrong.”
It means you’re proactive. It means you’re tuned in. It means you’re giving your child every opportunity to communicate confidently.

And if everything looks age-appropriate? Great! You walk away with peace of mind and tools you can use at home ❤️

If you’ve noticed:
• Limited words or unclear speech
• Frustration when trying to communicate
• Not combining words yet
• Difficulty following simple directions

Trust that gut feeling. You know your child best.

📩 Message me to schedule an evaluation or ask questions.
I’m here to support you — judgment free, pressure free, and always child-centered.

Because early support = empowered parents + confident communicators 💬✨

✨ You know you’re a therapist when… ✨

You laminate everything and grab easi-grip training scissors like it’s second nature 😂✂️

Real-life therapy tip 👇
Before you cut out those tiny laminated pieces…
👉 Put the Velcro dots on the BACK FIRST.

Why this is a game-changer:
✔️ Way easier to line up Velcro
✔️ No fighting with tiny slippery pieces
✔️ Stronger stick = lasts longer
✔️ Saves time (and sanity 🙌)

Once the Velcro is on, then cut the pieces out and you’re good to go—ready for binders, boards, and take-home carryover.

If you know, you KNOW.

☃️☕ Feed the Snowman & Hot Cocoa! ☕☃️

This simple paper bag activity is a HUGE hit for language and fine motor development! I glued a snowman and an animated hot chocolate mug onto a brown paper bag and cut out the mouth—now it’s ready to be “fed” little objects!

Why this works so well:
🗣️ Language:
• Requesting: “more,” “open,” “eat”
• Action words: “in,” “out,” “bite,” “drink”
• Turn-taking & commenting: “My turn!” “Snowman’s hungry!”

✋ Fine Motor & Sensory:
• Builds hand strength and coordination
• Encourages controlled grasp and release
• Provides playful sensory input without mess

Easy ways to try this at home:
✔️ Use a paper bag, cereal box, or empty container
✔️ Cut a mouth and decorate with a character your child loves
✔️ Feed pom-poms, cotton balls, beads, or pretend food
✔️ Model simple phrases while playing (“in the mouth,” “yum!”)

💡 SLP tip: Keep it fun and repetitive—kids learn through doing it again and again!

Simple setup. Big developmental payoff. ❄️✨

Hidden Treasures in Play-Doh = BIG Language + Sensory Wins 💗

One tiny tweak, SO many skills 👇
Hide small objects inside Play-Doh and let your child dig, squeeze, roll, and search!

Why this is amazing for development:
🧠 Language:
• Requesting: “Help,” “more,” “open”
• Describing: “hard,” “soft,” “stuck,” “out”
• Following directions: “Push,” “pull,” “find the ___”
• Expanding sentences: “I found the car!”

✋ Sensory + Fine Motor:
• Strengthens little hands
• Provides calming deep pressure input
• Builds finger isolation and coordination

Easy ways parents can do this at home:
✔️ Roll tiny toys, beads, coins, pom-poms, or buttons inside Play-Doh
✔️ Have your child guess what’s hidden before opening
✔️ Model simple language while they search (“push,” “dig,” “squeeze!”)
✔️ Turn it into a routine: 5 minutes while dinner cooks or after bath time

💡 SLP tip: Don’t quiz—model. Say it first, then wait. Any attempt counts!

Simple play. Powerful progress.
Perfect for home carryover and screen-free fun 🤩

If you have a Mr. Potato Head sitting in your toy box… you already have an amazing speech tool at home 🙌

Here’s how this classic toy supports early language development — and how parents can use it with intention 👇

🧠 Why it works
✔️ Encourages requesting (“eyes,” “hat,” “more”)
✔️ Builds vocabulary (body parts, colors, clothing)
✔️ Targets following directions (“Put the nose on”)
✔️ Supports turn-taking & joint attention
✔️ Naturally works on early sentences (“Hat on head”)

👶 Parent Tips for Engagement
✨ You hold the pieces
This creates communication opportunities. Wait expectantly before giving each piece.

✨ Model, don’t quiz
Instead of “What is this?” say:
• “Eyes on!”
• “Big nose!”
• “Hat on head!”

✨ Use sabotage 😏
Put the ear where the foot goes and wait… kids LOVE correcting you → “No! Ear here!”

✨ Follow their lead
If they’re stuck on hats today, go with it. Repetition builds language.

✨ Add simple choices
“Eyes or mouth?”
“Red hat or blue hat?”

✨ Build up language slowly
• Single words → “nose”
• 2 words → “nose on”
• Short phrases → “Put nose on”

📌 Fridge carryover idea
Snap a photo of their Mr. Potato Head creation and talk about it later:
👉 “What did you put on?”
👉 “What’s missing?”
👉 “Let’s build him again!”

💛 The best speech practice happens in play — especially when parents know how to interact, not just what toy to use.

This Arctic Vocabulary page might look simple, but there’s so much intentional support built in 👀🧠

🖍️ Let’s talk about the highlighter accommodation
The colored lines aren’t “extra” — they’re purposeful. Highlighting:
✔️ Helps visually separate categories
✔️ Reduces visual overload
✔️ Supports attention and organization
✔️ Makes expectations clear at a glance

But the most important part?
👉 The student is learning how to use the highlighter THEMSELVES.

💡 This is where ownership comes in.
Instead of an adult doing it for them every time, students are taught:
• When to highlight
• What to highlight
• Why highlighting helps

That’s a life skill — not just a classroom trick.

🧠 Why student ownership matters
When students understand and independently use accommodations:
✔️ They become more confident learners
✔️ They rely less on adult prompting
✔️ Skills generalize to the classroom, tests, and real life
✔️ Accommodations become tools, not crutches

📌 Perfect for fridge carryover at home
Families can say:
👉 “Show me what you highlighted and why.”
👉 “Let’s highlight the category first, then write.”
👉 “How did the highlighter help you today?”

That’s how strategies stick 💪

Speech therapy isn’t just about answers — it’s about teaching students how to learn ❤️
