As speech language pathologists know, helping our students master articulation targets during speech therapy sessions is only the beginning. While students may demonstrate accurate sound production in structured activities (such as drills or practice at specific word positions), this level of success doesn’t always translate to everyday communication. Producing sounds correctly in isolation or at the word level is an important step, but it is not the end goal of articulation

Ever find yourself bouncing between activities to try to keep articulation practice both effective and engaging? We (speech-language pathologists everywhere) feel that. Planning for groups (in-person and teletherapy) to ensure students get enough repetitions of their speech sounds is so much easier when you have reliable tools you can reach for again and again. That’s where articulation boom cards come in. These digital activities are a great way to target specific speech sou

If you’ve ever handed out traditional articulation homework worksheets and been met with instant resistance… you’re not alone. For many middle school and high school students, articulation homework sheets can feel repetitive, irrelevant, and maybe a little babyish. And when students aren’t engaged, home practice often doesn’t happen… which makes carryover of speech sounds even harder and leaves speech-language pathologists wondering how to actually achieve carryover at home.

As a speech-language pathologist, improving a student’s intelligibility is often about more than teaching individual sounds. It ’s about supporting good communication in everyday situations. Reduced intelligibility can lead to a host of challenges beyond a few miscommunications. Difficulty being understood can affect classroom participation, peer interactions, and a student’s willingness to speak up at all. SLPs can reduce this impact by targeting clear speech strategies and

Have you ever needed to work on expanding language with older students who are beyond using simple sentences, but are having trouble formulating more complex thoughts? Or maybe you've started seeing a student who has a syntax goal for using conjunctions. And mayyybe your head is spinning because you left your knowledge of conjunctions in your high school English class years ago? Relatable. Understanding and using conjunctions are important syntax skills for language use. They
