Speech Therapy Activities
Speech therapy activities should be functional and meaningful and I practice what I preach at Speech Therapy Talk Services, LLC!
Before exploring this page, I want to explain a bit about my professional philosophy and what to expect. This isn't your typical speech therapy site... Find out why below!
Speech therapy should be meaningful. That is obvious but not always true!
To make speech therapy meaningful:
- Parents MUST be involved. If you are a parent, click here to find out how to get more involved!
- Therapy shouldn't be all about worksheets
- For young children, therapy should be PLAY
- For older children, therapy should involve the school curriculum and functional activities
To get speech therapy back on the right track, I created some MEANINGFUL speech therapy activities for all areas of development.
This page is always "underdevelopment" and I will add to it as I create more.
