Essentials for Speech Therapy

My Project

Utilizing materials in speech therapy that are individualized is a necessity. Many teachers have not only created but are now selling some great materials on Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT). With a gift card to TPT, I can obtain additional resources to utilize in therapy sessions including literature units, practice reading flash cards, etc.

In an effort to utilize materials with as many students as possible, laminating resources allows students to engage with materials by using dry erase markers and allows resources to be reused with other students.

Furthermore, essentials for speech therapy are play-dough which can be utilized as reinforcement for students when practicing articulation skills or can be utilized when practicing skills such as segmenting and blending sounds in words as students learn to read. Other materials on my list include extra large Post-it notes which are excellent for showcasing information such as definitions of vocabulary words within the speech therapy room.
