One of our amazing speech language pathologists shares about an activity done during a session!

"In this activity, we're working on our initial /k/ sound with some silly, sound-loaded sentences. We're using the game Can of Worms to take turns and practice those tricky sounds in a fun, engaging way! Speech practice + play = the best kind of learning!"
