I love doing things that encourage my speech students to use their articulation strategies in a spontaneous conversation. I have had a great deal of success with my /SH/ students when they see me wearing TWO DIFFERENT PAIRS OF SHOES. I know that might sound crazy, but trust me, it works! Give this video a view so you can find out exactly what I am talking about. As always, if you ever have a question, HIT ME UP. I got your back. YOU ROCK!
P.S. A good friend of mine named Deb just sent me this amazing email: "The other thing that wearing 2 different shoes emphasizes which I notice with my kiddos, is that they have issues with /s/ and /z/ as well--- my students who work on their /s/ tend to devoice the /z/. Noticing shoes will help them say this as well!!"
Deb really brings up a fantastic point! She is an awesome SLP!
If you are looking for a fun speech therapy idea that can help your students practice their articulation, expressive/receptive language, auditory memory, pragmatics, and so much more, this idea is right up your alley. Turning your speech therapy room into a comedy club is easy as pie! You and your students will be laughing your heads off once you give this idea try. As always, let me know how it goes. Have a great session with your kiddos! :-)
We are always so quick to ask our students about their weekends, but we very rarely tell them about our weekends. Weird. Why do we forget to actually talk about ourselves in the speech therapy setting? We need to start doing this and I am going to tell you why in this video blog post. Give this a view and let me know what you think. Have a really great day and keep smiling!
We all make mistakes within the speech therapy setting, but are you remembering to truly learn from those mistakes? Learning from them will make you the best clinician out there. Trust me. Check out with video where I spill my guts out to you in the name of the profession that I love. I hope you learn a thing or two from this video blog post. As always, hit me up with any questions/comments that you might have. Stay awesome!
Are you a speech-language pathologist like me? If you answered yes, then you are also a chameleon lizard, too! Are you wondering what I mean when I call you chameleon lizard? Well, give this video blog post a view to find out some inspirational knowledge that is sure to bring a smile to your face. Remember, you are awesome and I look forward to hearing from you!
