Not gonna lie - I’m kinda done talking about the snow ❄️ 🤣🙃I’m ready for warm weather. I do love Sneezy the Snowman though. I read the story and have pictures for the kids to rearrange when they are retelling the story. This hands on approach can really help kids - and they think it’s fun. Then a story book to color for homework with their speech sounds circled for parents to really focus on those sounds at home.

There is so much heaviness in the world right now that it’s good to laugh - plus kids are tired at the end of their school day and being silly in after school lessons helps. This book did just that. 😆 “Harvey the Heart Had Too Many Farts.” 💨 This friend is also working on his F and V sounds in conversation and this was just the thing to get him talking with targeted sounds💞

Sometimes we get sick. 🤧 Runny nose. Cough. You know - gross. And so we pivot. In person might not be possible but we can move to virtual if everyone is feeing up for it. At the end of our lesson, he said “let’s play Pop the Pig!” So he got his and I got mine and off we played like we do in person. He won, BTW 💞

I’ve been doing this for quite awhile now and one of my favorite practical tools to use in therapy is a sheet protector and dry erase markers. This way, the child can practice with me and then take the worksheet home and practice at home. I encourage all my families to use a sheet protector and dry erase markers at home too so one worksheet can have repeated practice.

One more Valentine’s Day post! 💞Yesterday I worked on making some Valentine cards with one of my clients using his AAC device. I had my iPad out to model on as well. We were making sentences like “Give Will the white heart” — I’d cut out the white heart, he’d pick the joke, and we’d glue it all down. He loves his family - and telling jokes - and Spanish - and Raffi! Tons of fun 🤩
