Fire Safety Lesson Plan Activities For Teletherapy
Fire Prevention Week (which is the week that October 9th falls each year) is a great opportunity to use the theme of fire safety in your speech therapy sessions. After all, is there anything more important than teaching your students how to be safe, should a fire (big or small) ever occur? I'm making it easy for you by gathering tons of links to fire prevention and safety themed activities to use in teletherapy.
