This week we did lots or up-and-moving activities and this is one of them!

I got this big mouth toss game years ago at @orientaltrading (come on, y’all stick it again please)!

It comes with gooey foods (a pickle slice, some cheese, a strawberry, and some chocolate (at least I THINK that’s what it is) to throw at the mouth!

My competitive students like to keep score, and the little just weird out on how the foods “wiggle” and “fall” and “roll down to the lip.” Either way, I’m happy I get to work on articulation while the kids burn some of that childhood energy I wish I had!

It also makes for a pretty cool speech machine activity!

Do you get up and moving in therapy? Check yes or no 😉

If just the thought of that makes you uncomfortable, join me for a FREE webinar all about how ti make it work without feeling like you’ve lost control!

✅ my pr0🗄 and join us for 5 days of learning ‘bout how to boost engagement through movement, books, sensory bins, cooking, and nursery rhymes and songs!

Just for fun…Tell me something you regret not buying for therapy (because I mean, we all know we have too much but also really want more)😆 GO!!

A glimpse into my home based private practice! Tod

A glimpse into my home based private practice! Today I’m trying out an open ended Pop-it game! It’s a freebie that’ll be going out to my email list on Monday. See my pro📂 to get on the list!

Nothing gets the cats more more curious than me setting up for a therapy session!

Our foster kitten, Linus, is feeling like he’s ready to join Scout as a therapy cat but obviously doesn’t realize the toys are for the kids- not him!😼

Meanwhile, foster Leo and Scout decided to take a nap. (insert jealousy here)

My clients love having the cats in our sessions, and sometimes as an added bonus, we have pool days!

Have you ever thought of treating kids in your home? It makes for a special connection. This morning a little one dug in the pantry. 😆

We should know more than anyone that words are POW

We should know more than anyone that words are POWERFUL.
🗣
If you work in schools (or many other workplaces) this it’s a STRESSFUL time. As the Beatles said, we get by with a little help from our friends.

Kids aren’t the only humans who need lots of positive reinforcement. We all do! Spread some encouragement today (and everyday).
🤗
If you want to send encouragement to someone, TAG them HERE and make their day with some words of support.

...and to tell you random stories. 😂 But seriously, going back to school is ROUGH.

Even though you may not think so, those little humans that you teach have been missing you. They can’t wait to see you (hug you, talk to you) and tell you everything that’s happened over the break.

You know how your dog acts when you get back home??? It’ll be like that.

And those tough kids that won’t show it- yeah they’re totally just covering it up.

For some of your students, you’re the most positive person in their life; you’re their champion. Wake up tomorrow knowing you have important work to do, and your fans await.🙌

If you think #slpsoninstagram on Facebook have it

If you think #slpsoninstagram on Facebook have it altogether, you are most likely ❌WRONG❌ Hot mess over here! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Since I now work out of my home, the only place to store my therapy materials is upstairs, and my work day usually starts when schools dismiss (except for a handful of little ones). Everything gets thrown in a pile (and this week the pile exploded on out table) - sometimes until Friday when I haul it all back up!

My husband is a very sweet and patient man but even he said “I’m about to lose my 💩,” yesterday.

Long story short…don’t let social media fool you. (See photos again for what real life looks like).

Unlike my husband, our foster kittens are especially enjoying the therapy pile. 🤭

Who’s on the hot mess express with me? 🙋🏻‍♀️
