Speech Therapy Activities

Speech therapy activities should be functional and meaningful and we practice what we preach at Speech Therapy Talk Services, LLC!

Before exploring this section, I want to explain a little bit about my professional philosophy and what to expect. This isn't your typical speech therapy site...Find out why below!

Speech Therapy Activities: Making Therapy Meaningful Again

Speech therapy should be meaningful. That' is obvious but not always true!

To make speech therapy meaningful:

Parents MUST be involved. If you are a parent, click here to find out how to get more involved!
Therapy shouldn't be all about worksheets
For young children, therapy should be PLAY
For older children, therapy should involve the school curriculum and functional activities

To get speech therapy back on the right track, I created some MEANINGFUL speech therapy activities for all areas of development.

Of course, this is always "underdevelopment" and I will be adding to it as I create more.
