Earth Day is one of my favorite spring themes for speech therapy... especially since you can actually use it year-round. Earth Day activities can be adapted to so many different levels, from preschool through high school. Plus, Earth Day can be celebrated by all students throughout the world! For younger students, speech therapy activities around the April 22 holiday focus on simpler concepts such as planting trees and recycling. When working with older students, SLPs may foc

The farm might be one of the most quintessential speech therapy themes of all time. When I think back to my first sessions as an undergrad in the campus clinic, I picture myself dragging that big plastic barn (and the hundred farm animals that came with it) into my tiny therapy room for preschool language sessions.

But even for speech-language pathologists working in-person, winter sports is a great, high-interest theme that excites students this time of year. Activities with action-packed sports topics such as skiing, ice hockey, figure skating, and snowboarding always spark my students' interest in January and Febr

While the winter season may bring cold weather (and illness 😕) to many of us, it also offers tons of fun themes you can weave right into your speech therapy lesson plans. And the best part? You and your students won’t have to bundle up or feel a single shiver to enjoy them. In this blog post, we’re diving into a simple and fun winter theme you won’t want to skip—snow! Brighten the dreary winter months in your speech therapy sessions with activities built around a theme that’
