Putting Play to Work

Join me for a two hour webinar (live or recorded) and leave with practical information to use in the therapy room and share with parents.

Play is the way our little ones engage and interact with the world and our therapy needs to reflect this. Learn how to incorporate your goals into play therapy using the toys and materials you already have! You will see specific activities for phonological processing disorders, articulation, and early language goals. Activities/goals will focus on preschool and kindergarten populations.

Hosted by a pediatric speech-language pathologist with over 25 years of experience in the field, this session has been presented at Speech Retreat (abbreviated format), the TN Speech Language Hearing Association conference and was accepted by NC and FL state conferences too!

Honesty time: preschool isn’t my favorite age group. I have a hard time with letting go of control. I have a hard time playing with my littles. [Kim] lit a fire under me with her presentation at TAASLP!

You made using play-based activities for a variety of goals look a lot easier than I expected it to be.

Seeing the different ways toys can be incorporated to keep kids engaged while still working on their goals inspired me to add more play to my sessions.
