Winter clothing sensory bin fun today! We used a sentence strip to talk about where we put these clothing items. 👖🧦🧤🧢

Thanks to @SpeechSprouts for the awesome activities!

[Lauren D @MrsDtheSLP]

We had some fun bus activities this week in speech! Interactive “wheels on the bus” on the Promethean board and sensory bin “who is on the bus?” Just to name a few!

Kicking off year 10 as a school-based SLP!

How @MrsDtheSLP @KRogersSLP and I feel about our @PECS_USA training:

I scream for this cute activity! My friend wanted to make a craft and can use these words at home to practice good /k/ sounds. Thanks @SpeechRoomNews 🍦

Day 31! That feeling when @KRogersSLP @SLPMason and I finish Better Hearing and Speech Month strong by spreading awareness about speech therapy, educating students, staff, and peers, and it’s a Friday! #BHSM @mthollyschools #speechteam

[Ms. Mason @SLPMason]

Day 30! According to Dr. Karyn Purvis, it takes 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain unless it’s done in play. Then it only takes 10-20 repetitions. @MrsDtheSLP @KRogersSLP and I love playtime because it’s so important! #BHSM

#BHSM Day 29: 1 in 5 Americans have hearing loss in at least 1 ear! Make sure you keep your earbuds at a low level! If other people can hear your music... it’s too loud and can damage your hearing! @SLPMason @MrsDtheSLP

[Lauren D @MrsDtheSLP]

Day 28 of #BHSM: this blog post from @ASHAleader has some great tips for increasing wait time when asking questions in the classroom. @SLPMason @KRogersSLP

[The ASHA Leader @ASHAleader]

Increasing wait time when asking students to answer a question can improve positive results. Try these 3 steps, #SLPeeps, to make the wait seem less awkward. #devlangdis #BHSM @UCentralMO https://t.co/tnyUi2Bj9P

Day 27 #BHSM: SLPs help people communicate. AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) helps people find a voice. Whether it’s low tech like a core board or high tech like an AAC device. Check out an eye gaze device in action from @thepacecentre! https://t.co/vf4sqZXg3q

DAY 2️⃣6️⃣ Use every day tasks to help your child learn language! For example, talk about foods on a menu or if you are in the kitchen, talk about their color, texture and taste! @SLPMason @MrsDtheSLP #BHSM

[Lauren D @MrsDtheSLP]

Day 25: @SLPMason @KRogersSLP and I also target social communication skills during therapy. We can help kids working on asking/answering questions, maintaining a topic, and interacting appropriately with peers and adults at school! #BHSM
