Auditory processing disorder is not a condition that affects the ability to hear. Instead, it affects the brain's ability to process what has been heard. Kids with APD often appear to be forgetful or even confused, among other symptoms.
Wow! It's been a crazy 2 weeks! My students love the Categories and Vocalic /r/ Bingo so I decided to create a Wh- Questions Bingo. I am constantly looking for materials with wh- questions. The students had so much fun playing. The Wh- Questions Bingo allowed me to acquire a lot of data too! This download includes 4 game boards and 3 pages of bingo chips. Each bingo board has twenty-four wh- questions. Step 1: Print and laminate Bingo Cards and Bingo Chips. Step 2: Print an extra bingo card. Laminate and cut out each wh- question from this card. Step 3: Put the cut out wh- questions in a ziplock bag. Step 3: Cut out each Bingo Chips. Step 4: Start by giving each student a Bingo Card and 10 Bingo Chips. Step 5: Pull the first wh- question out of the ziplock bag Step 6: Have each student give you 1 answer. Step 7: The 1st student to get 5 in a row WINS! Wh- Questions Bingo is available on my TPT page! Click Here! I would love to hear what you think! What other Bingo boards would you like me to create....more arctic?!? Hope you have fun playing BINGO with your kiddies! : )

I am so excited to share this new activity with all of you! I just finished the first installment in my Articulation BINGO series targeting /k/ and /g/ in all word positions While I LOVE adorable clip art, some of my clients are often distracted by it. Articulation BINGO is a simple set of cards (just clip art picture and word) and addresses multiple words per position per sound. This activity includes: Contents: • 35 picture cards each for initial /k/ (pages 3-8) and initial /g/ (pages 37-42) • 35 picture cards each for medial /k/ (pages 13-18) and medial /g/ (pages 47-52) • 35 picture cards for final /k/ (pages 23-28) and 29 for final /g/ (pages 57-61) • 4 different picture bingo boards per word position per sound (24 total) (/k/ pages 9-12, 19-22, 29-32) and /g/ pages 43-46, 53-56, 62-65) • 4 different picture bingo boards with all word positions represented per sound (12 total) (pages 33-36 and pages 66-69) **Cards can be used for traditional articulation drill and practice or to play one of the following game options. • Bingo: Distribute bingo board to each student. Have students take turns drawing picture card and naming items with target sound. First student to get bingo (across, down, or horizontally) or cover entire board is winner. • Memory: Print two sets of picture cards and have students name items with target sound while matching picture pairs. • Go Fish: Print two sets of picture cards and have students use repeated sentence framework to request desired picture with target sound. As I mentioned above, there will be additional Articulation BINGO sets on the horizon! Stay tuned for the next installment and thank you for all of your continued support of Straight Up Speech!

There are 3 things I'm certain of. 1. We have all seen this post/image in blog/pinterest land. Creating your own lesson plan book! [click photo for original post] 2. We all added this idea to our to-do lists. 3. We were all in tears when we realized there was no template available for this idea. There was one 1 thing I was uncertain of. 1. Can I make a template for this myself? Well, I am now certain that I can do it. Because I did. I made my own lesson plan book. Do I love it? ABSOLUTELY! I feel like it's my baby. No more writing in everything, EVERY. WEEK. and drawing those lines EVERY. WEEK. Here's how it turned out. Sorry for the horrible lighting in the pictures All ready to be filled in! First I created a template for my lesson plans on word & was sure to change my settings to legal size paper. After some time of aligning, tweaking, and typing, it was time to print. I had to babysit my printer through this process--maybe you won't have to. I then fed the paper back through the printer so that I could get double sided pages. Next, I had to create my front cover & back cover. Legal size too!! I purchased some legal size laminating pouches to use with my home laminator for my front and back cover. All pieces ready to go to Staples! Final step--drive 2.3 miles to your local Staples, Office Max, or Office Depot with all of your pages carefully placed on your lap & get your book binded for around $5 if you wait, or around $2 if you come back later! I am seriously so in love with this thing! It turned out so much better than expected and will be such a time saver to not have to write in all the schedule info and lines every week. NOW for the best news--you can buy a template for yourself! It's a word document so you can edit it, but I suggest googling and downloading the font "PlainPrint" so that the font does not show up funny! When you purchase this template, you will also receive 3 editable cover options to choose from. Just edit and print your favorite one! Here are the options included: Google and download the font "Champagne & Limousines" for the font used in the title pages. These too are editable to your preference, I just included my information to inspire you! Here is a close up of the schedule template and the page I made to go right after my cover page. No, we won't be eating snack right after lunch. That header up there also includes nap/quiet/bathroom Sorry this post is super long! I just had a lot of detail and information to share with you! Click here to purchase this kit/templates on TpT! P.S. I will be participating in the TpT back to school sale, starting tomorrow! Go add this item to your wishlist now! :)

This product includes: -3 general communication boards containing high frequency core vocabulary with varying fields of 16, 20, and 24. General communication boards can be used for any activity. -8 activity boards with specific fringe vocabulary corresponding to play-based activities. The 8 boards include: bubbles, baby, blocks, farm, Play-doh, play food, car ramp, and vehicles. -1 page of fringe vocabulary that can be velcroed onto any page to add flexibility to your activity I have been using these low-tech communication boards for months and love them! They work well with any communicator, verbal and non-verbal, but especially for children on the autism spectrum. For verbal children, it gives them the visual support and helps recalling verbal output. For non-verbal children, it provides an avenue for expressive language. Each board can be used to create 1-6 word phrases (i.e. “help.” “oh-no! baby cry.” “I make play-doh cookies.” “You cut apple.” “I want green car go down.” etc.) I hope you enjoy these boards as much as I do!
I am going to use this worksheet with one of my clients who is working on using correct personal pronouns. Such a difficult skill to master especially in children with autism! I usually give a lot of cues at first, such as asking "Is it a boy or a girl?" and then having a visual chart that shows boy = he, girl = she, 2 people = they. Click here to download!
