ABOUT ME

As a busy Speech Pathologist running my own practice, I am always looking for innovative ways to keep my therapy engaging and effective. I started Speech Concepts as a way to share the resources I was developing. Our range of practical resources have all been tested in the real world, and could be just the thing you have been looking for.

PODCAST

I had a blast chatting to Cathy Love. We chatted about my journey as a private practice owner, the exploration of different service delivery models and my passion working in education to name only a few topics. Head over and have a listen. While you are there, sign up for future episodes in the series. Lots of inspiration in the Private Practice Secrets podcast series. Episode one

Have you seen this hilarious headline card game? You are given cards with words on them, each with a point value. When it`s your turn, construct the headline or a story to earn points! i love to use this game to target sentence construction. It`s open-ended but with some structure so that all can succeed. If you want a harder challenge I add in conjunctions.

Pig the Fibber is a great read. All the pig books have lots of humour. this one explores with children about what might happen when we tell lies. The rhyming text and great illustrations keep children engaged This story can be used to target simple predicting - what might happen next?) and inferencing . there are lots of great vocabulary (tier 2) to explore as well as many language concepts.

Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas is a fun and cheeky rhyming book. I love the vocabulary and rhyme in this book; it will surely engage everyone. This is a great book to target vocabulary - body parts, talking about ⁣
differences and similarities and making inferences. If working on articulation - there are a range bilabial words to target.
