I KISS YOU ALL - KEEP IT SIMPLE SPEECHIES! Over the years I continue to do my best simplifying activities. I work closely with my parents - my goal is to explain strategies I am working on in a simple way (avoiding technical speech terms) and provide functional activities which can be followed through at home.

I created 8 Favorite Speech Strategies That Work (12 pgs) because I wanted to simplify terminology of all the varied approaches! It can get overwhelming at times - it is not cookie cutter either. Every child has different needs. I utilize a variety of techniques and assess ongoing progress. As a therapist, it's crucial for me to explain a child’s motor speech disorder to parents & staff in a way that’s easy to understand—KISS (Keep It Simple SLP”s!).
All FREE RESOURCES are on my website in the PS+ Store or on TPT. I hope you find them useful! If there are other resources or checklists you are looking for, I am happy to add more to my website!.

You can keep adding product this way. When you click on continue, it will take you to checkout.)
