Hi friends! We did it! We survived winter! I'm starting to get ready my Spring therapy plans and thought I'd share some of my ideas with you. Hope you can find something useful for your therapy room.
For no prep speech and language, homework packets, and remote learning packets; I'll be using the following two products. Both are from TpT store and are primarily print & use products.
For articulation therapy, I'll throw in some spinner articulation worksheets. I'll probably use the bug ones in therapy and send the frog ones home for homework/extra practice.
I'll use these two activities for my sensory bin/interactive articulation activities.
Flower Garden Speech & Language by The Dabbling Speech
For Parent Communication, I'll use these handouts from Speech Room News for my preschoolers/Kindergarteners.
I'll use my dicut parent handouts with flower dicuts for my older students.
I will pair the following games w/ various flashcards, articulation practice, etc to motivate some of my kiddos!
1.) Grow Garden Grow - I'm not even sure where you can find this game. I found mine at a local Goodwill. It has been a huge hit! If you run across this game at a thrift store or yard sale, grab it! It's great!
2.) Giggle Wiggle (affiliate link)- This game is always a hit. It does have some pretty annoying sound effects, so be prepared for that! :) But it's great for incorporating some fine motor practice into speech therapy as well. And the kids are super motivated by it.
3.) Cootie Game (affiliate link)- I love cootie. I use it with my kiddos who use AAC. Instead of playing the game, I have them ask for specific body parts to build their cootie. It's also great for answering questions with the AAC device. ("what color?" "do you want a hat or antennas?" "do you want shoes or no shoes?", etc)
4.) Snail Pace Race (affiliate link) - Another highly motivating game for my kiddos. You can also sneak in some practice on color words.
5.) I'll also be doing this frog hop game that I posted about here
6.) And, of course, Let's Go Fishing (affiliate link). It's so motivating for my kids!
I also love books in therapy! Here are some that I will be using throughout my Spring unit.
Secrets of the Vegetable Garden (affiliate link)
There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog (affiliate link)
As far as play based therapy goes, here are some of the items we will be using:
I love this Flower Garden Toy (affiliate link). It is great to work on describing (colors, height, big/little, pointy/rounded petals, etc). I can also use it to target following directions, spatial concepts, turn taking, and cooperative play. I also use it to target asking questions ("can I have a pink flower?").
We also do some bug smashing. I just grab a fly swatter and some plastic bugs. The kids can practice hitting the bugs with the fly swatter or stomping on them. It's great for those kids that are working on imitating some basic sounds - ew, squish, ick, etc. I can also work on describing, following directions, waiting, etc.
I hope you found something fun and exciting to add to your therapy plans. Thanks for stopping by!
