    Spooky Spider Web Game For Apraxia

    Since Childhood Apraxia of Speech requires a different approach to treatment, principles of motor learning theory need to be driving therapy.   You can read more about this in my two interviews: Sharon Gretz interview and Ruth Stoeckel Interview

    Since getting 100-200 reps per session can be tedious and difficult to keep new and fresh, I came up with this fun Halloween game to play while you work on the child’s target sounds.

    DIY “Park your speech!”

    Do you have a kiddo who LOVES cars and needs a different activity besides flash cards to work on his speech sounds? Check out this super easy parking lot activity.

    I bought a cheap black poster board from the dollar store, and mapped out a street and parking spaces using white and yellow crayons.
    This boy was working on ST blends so we said “stop” each time he parked a car; however you could glue pictures or write target word or sounds into the spaces and have them say it each time they “parked” a car!
    It’s also great if the child is only at the single sound level. Just repeat the sound and pretend it’s the sound of the engine!
