New for Fall, plus a Freebie!!
I am excited about this new language pack and wanted to show you how it turned out! I saw these cute apples with their adorable expressive faces, and knew they were perfect for a back to school, fall resource.
I love using cute books with simple, repetitive text for therapy. But it can be a challenge to find a book that supports specific language goals. Where? questions are always tough for my little ones. When I ask them where an object is, I usually get, "Right there! as they point to the object. " Wh? " questions can be tough for students with autism and PDD too. So, I set out to write my own reader for where? questions. Then, I had so much fun with the cute apple theme, I created many more language activities!
Apple Apple Speech Therapy Reader and Language Activities is packed with language opportunities in a fun autumn theme. There are so many ways to elicit language!

Dough Mat
Children roll apples and put them on the Dough Mat. Tell where they are. In the tree? next to the squirrel? In front of the basket? How many are in your tree? Who has more? Who has less?

Barrier Game Fun!
A Barrier Game. I like to print two copies and use it for a barrier game Have you ever used barrier games in therapy? Following directions, position concepts, vocabulary, describing- this activity hits it all!
Sit so you are facing your student. Give a copy of the mat and the pieces to your student, you have another copy in front of you. Place a barrier in between you so you can't see each other's mats.
Now, take turns describing where you are putting the pieces. Directions must be specific, because your partner will place the identical piece on their mat, according to the description. The crow is at the top of the tree. The yellow apple is on the grass... When all the pieces are on the mat, lift the barrier and compare. Are they in the same place?
