For our learners who need to work on foundational learning skills, such as simple matching, I have always love creating hands on task boxes put-in tasks and color sorting tasks.

Not all errors in speech are due to articulation. Sound errors can follow a pattern called a phonological process - a simplification of adult speech. Learn more about these speech sound errors, and when they are expected to "go away" as a child's communication develops!
Simple, everyday reinforcers and mini trinkets can make therapy motivating and engaging. So read these ideas, and start collecting!
I recently attended the Colorado Speech, Language and Hearing Association Spring Conference and the speaker gave me a lot to think about. At the conference, Christina Gildersleeve-Neumann, Ph.D., from Portland State University discussed current theories of phonological development and various treatment approaches. What she said made a lot of sense and affirmed the approach I take in therapy for the young nonverbal child. It is very risky to diagnosis a young nonverbal child with childhood apraxia of speech. The child has not yet developed a phonological system so how do you know if it's impaired? The first step in therapy is to get the child talking. In HOW TO Start Apraxia Therapy with the Young Child, I outline my approach in three steps and provide toy choices to use in play to stimulate speech and language development. Check it out on TeacherspayTeachers.

One of the most important aspects of our practice in speech-language pathology is making sure our assessments and interventions are evidence-based and are in line with the current research. All I hear about in grad school is EBP EBP EBP!! It's THAT important. I have shelves full of textbooks and notes that have all of this information in it. However, is that really practical to flip through all that information all the time just for 1-2 paragraphs?! NO WAY! I was getting frustrated and wanted a quick and easy reference material to solve that problem. So I created this Evidence-Based Practice Binder to do just that! This binder is intended to be used as a tool to guide you in your decision making. It is intended to serve as a guide and summary and is, by no means, a replacement for the actual articles and research and is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Please read the articles listed for full descriptions. At the beginning of the binder, I have a section specifically on evidence-based practice, what it is and how to implement it. At the beginning of each section, you will find introductory information about various disorders and some assessment principles for certain areas. These are followed by charts for the most common areas of our field in the school, clinic, and hospital settings. In each chart are the therapy techniques for that area, the intended population, a description of the technique, the evidence showing it to be effective or ineffective, and other helpful notes. Also included are a list of commonly used apps for each area. Some of them are evidence-based, some are not. This binder could be used as a reference for day-to-day practice, when planning and implementing IEP goals, when addressing parent/employer concerns or questions, when studying for the Praxis exam, when you need a new or different technique to try, or when you have a particularly challenging case and need a starting point. The following areas are included: What is Evidence-Based Practice (pg. 4) Key Steps to Evidence-Based Practice (pg. 5) Overview of Assessment/Management of School-Age Population (pg. 6) Service Delivery (pg. 7-10) Articulation/Phonology (pg. 11-21) Social Language (pg. 22-37) Vocabulary (pg. 38-46) Grammar (pg. 47-56) Fluency (pg. 57-63) Phonological Awareness (pg. 64-69) Swallowing (pg. 70-82) Augmentative and Alternative Communication (pg. 83-92) Thank You (pg. 93) Terms of Use (pg. 94) Each area is separated by its own cover page. I plan to keep adding to this resource over time. If there is something you would like to see added, please email me at [email protected]! I'd be happy to add it for you. Does this seem like something you would like?? You can find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers store here! I will give a copy of this binder to one lucky reader!!

I was giving the CELF-4 yesterday and realized that although I like the Concepts & Following Directions subtest, there are not a lot of written materials out there that address some of the types of basic concepts on this subtest. Obviously you can do before/after directions with real life objects (jump up and down before you spin around), but I made this worksheet to work on before/after directions with pictures, which is what the CELF-4 is really testing.
