Miss V's Speech World

When I began working in the public schools, I quickly realized that there was a great need for social skills groups. Not sure where to begin, I purchased tons of books on the subject. However, most programs out there didn’t meet my needs – the lessons and activities were either too challenging / not engaging / too easy / required materials that you had to make yourself / etc. Over the last three years I have taught elementary level social skills groups by piece-mealing my very own curriculum, an

This packet contains a total of 114 oral motor exercise cards. Cards are divided into four components: • Tongue exercises (48 cards) • Lip exercises(36 cards) • Jaw exercises (15 cards) • Swallow exercises (15 cards) To turn these into a game, cut out and laminate the cards and place them in a Kleenex box. Students pull out a card and complete the exercise. I included decorative covers that can be glued onto a Kleenex box (works best for the square boxes). Each card is "coded" with a picture t

I have a large number of Speech students who are working on answering WH-questions. However, many of them struggle with answering the generic question cards that I have. Especially my ASD and SDC kids are just beginning to develop this skill, so they need more concrete questions with visuals. This is why I created this activity! This product consists of 25 picture scenes and 18 corresponding WH-questions for each. The question types included are Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Each time a

This packet includes 2 different conversation starter card sets. - SET 1 contains 60 cards that was included in the original product line. - SET 2 contains 93 cards that are also part of my Social Skills Group Curriculum that is available in my store. I figured I should include these cards here in addition to the old set because I like them better and they are easier on the ink :). I am also adding a blank page for Set 2 so that you can create your own cards. The cards in the two sets are ma

This packet contains 12 monthly calendars (September – August), each of which contains articulation practice activities for every day of the month.

Do you have students who will throw a major temper tantrum after losing a game? Or students who have a massive The-World-Is-Going-To-End-And-We're-All-Going-To-Die fit after not getting their way? If so, read on. I have quite a few kids on my Speech therapy and social skills caseload who really struggle distinguishing small from large problems, so I created this resource for them. This seems to be a particularly large area of need for students on the ASD spectrum or those with behavior / emotio

Every school year, teachers approach me asking me to make them a token board for one of their students. Making these is quite a bit of work, so I thought that I should put together this little bundle to make all of our lives a little bit easier! This packet contains 20 token board templates with 10 unique designs. Each design comes with 5 or 10 icon board options so that you can choose the one that works best with your student.

In my elementary school setting I have teachers come up to me almost every week requesting behavior support stories for their students.

I created this resource to teach my Speech therapy students how to interpret humor and jokes. Many of my language-delayed students do not understand why simple riddle jokes are funny, as they lack flexible thinking and vocabulary when it comes to these types of literary devices. Unfortunately, there is a distinct lack of resources on this topic so I had to re-invent the wheel. I put great effort into this, so I figured why not share it with the rest of the TPT community? In purchasing this pa
