While I’m at home practicing “social distancing” and binge watching Disney+, the least I could do was… something – anything– to help you cope with school closings due to this awful Covid-19 virus (or nasty alias Coronvirus).
Here in Louisiana, every public school has closed their doors to students, but many educators (including SLPs) are still having to report for work and make a plan for serving students from afar. In an effort to help, I did some leg work for you and spent the day scouring the speech therapy freebies on TPT to find those that require little to no colored ink and also have content that most parents could relate to and carry out at home. While there were countless awesome speech and language free downloads on TPT, I think these are the most appropriate for sending home should you end up creating home packets. I hope you find what you need right here on the list because I know you’re working under some CRAZY pressure & time constraints.
Click HERE to grab the list, and feel free to share it far and wide! It’s a PDF in my Google drive. You can just add it to your Google drive or download it to your device. All the links are clickable!
PLEASE NOTE THAT the freebies in the linked google document have specific Terms of Use dependent upon EACH seller. Please read EACH seller’s Terms of Use (usually included in the download) OR contact the sellers themselves (their email is also likely in the free download) before sharing ANY of these resoureces via email, drive or cloud. Please do NOT share put of these resources in a shared Google Drive, Google Classroom, Dropbox, etc. Direct the parent who needs the activity to the link you used to obtain it. These may never be uploaded to a district or group site or drive. Also, please inform parents that the use of these activities is for their child ONLY and should not be shared with others in any way as they are protected intellectual property of the authors. Thank you!
It seems that some of my SLP friends had the same idea today, so you can check out their lists, too, HERE and HERE.
For those of you who will be using teletherapy instead of sending home packets:
1) Check out this video by pro teletherapist Stacy Crouse about how to use your PDF resources in Adobe Reader
2) Watch this Facebook Live by teletherapist extraordinaire, Jill Shook, about the basics of teletherapy.
3) See the fabulous Brooke Dibley’s (aka Simply Speaking SLT) teletherapy demo video on You Tube.
4) Tune in to my friend, teletherapist Andee from the Whimsical Word, talking about teletherapy websites on Facebook.
May you and yours stay in good health during these uncertain times & God bless!
