The activities work well for students currently in therapy for challenges with fluency/stuttering and for those parents of young children who want to be proactive in creating fluent speech.

This is a permission slip for social skills/lunch bunch groups. I send this home at the beginning of each year to ensure that I have permission (in writing) for general education peers to participate in social skills/lunch bunch groups with a student in special services and myself. You never know what some kids will go home and report to parents... "I went to speech today" can be an alarming piece of information to some parents!
