Every summer my family and I take a road trip, usually to visit our extended families. This year our trips are very carefully planned to limit our risk due to the pandemic. We won't be stopping at any hotels, we have masks and tons of hand sanitizer and are limiting close contact (ex. hugging) with those we visit. We're also not visiting any restaurants on our trip. We are still planning on visiting our immediate family but all other vacations have been postponed. That being said, we have a family visit coming up! Over the years and as the boys have grown we started putting together "busy bags" for the car to keep them entertained. We also found the items to be helpful once we got to our destination or stopped at a restaurant/hotel too.

Both of these tools are how I am able to use many of these materials and keep it interactive. "Screen sharing" is just digitally sharing what's on your computer screen (or iPad screen) with your student over whatever platform you are using for teletherapy (Ex. WebEx, Google Meet, Zoom, etc.). Usually, t......
When I first started working as an SLP I found it easy to incorporate language goals into play but had to be more intentional to also target articulation goals too. A little people farm is a staple in my speech room both for language and articulation goals. Here are some of the ways I target skills using the farm! I've included a list of words (or animal sounds) that I often use when targeting the sounds. You'll see many of the words are repeated as they can work on several sounds depending on which position of the word you're working with. ...
I shared about learning letters with my 3 year-old a little while back but thought I may want to back up to learning colors too! My youngest knows the basic colors now at 3 but we worked hard on naming and identifying colors from about 2-3 years old. Here are some of our favorite things to practice learning colors! ...
