Conversational Speech and Language Questions: A Year Round Collection
A great way to engage students in discussion! Sometimes, it can be tricky to figure out how to begin a session with our students. Should we start with a game? Should we jump right into the hard stuff before we lose the student’s attention? I like to start with an icebreaker question. This helps make the student comfortable, gets them talking, and gives me a baseline for their speech and language skills for that day.

I love creating products that are neat, clean and have as many real-world photos as possible, so that they are appropriate for all students both young and old!
Teaching style
I have a passion for creating therapy materials that give students opportunities to interact with each other and that also relate to events happening in the outside world (seasons, holidays, etc.). I love to bring components of my therapy session outside of the therapy room and see students initiating conversation with other students/staff. Activities that elicit natural language opportunities such as making and delivering crafts, making recipes or participating in science experiments are my favorite! I also love to create materials with a clean and simple aesthetic incorporating real world pictures as much as possible. I want my materials to be appropriate for individuals from age 5 to 90!
My own education history
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development and a Masters Degree in Communication Disorders.
