I have been a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist for more than 30 years and have so much to share with you! I am well aware of the limited time SLPs, specialists, and educators have to prep or develop captivating lessons. As a result, I have developed Of Mouth & Mind-SLP resources that showcase engaging speech-language therapy resources to support communication development in children, adolescents, and teens. My communication resources are digital and/or downloadable most of which take little to no prep time!
Feel like a seasoned pro with therapy materials that are easily accessible, have clear learning objectives, support educational curriculum, and improve receptive and expressive language skills simultaneously. Of Mouth & Mind products and resources are how you transform your therapy services and ease your mind by knowing your therapy is based out of 30+ years of experience and evidence-based learning strategies.
I am a firm believer in using mediated learning and a metacognitive approach so that your students/clients fully understand the lesson objective and how to achieve the target. And of course, dynamic and interactive resources make learning fun and engaging.
Many products are multi-functional so they can be used for a wide range of therapy goals in heterogeneous groups. Also, online/digital resources can be used for in-person learning, virtual/teletherapy, or home practice. You can access the products whether on a computer, ipad, or mobile phone. Get this, the interactive online products are no prep/no print, meaning less time prepping lessons!
My online/digital products and resources are developed in the Boom Learning platform and Google Slides/Docs. I have a store in both Boom Learning and Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT). For Boom Learning products, you must have an account that is free or you can upgrade to a paid subscription. Click HERE for Boom Learning membership information.
