It can be even more intimidating walking in and realizing you have nothing to use in therapy. When I received the notification that my whole wishlist had been filled, I was elated! Having materials makes it easy to build rapport, and create the therapy that ever child deserves. \r\n\r\nEvery speech session even till this day, I have had a new material to introduce and my students are always so excited to see what it is! I choose specific color dot markers to match whatever theme it is that week so my kids are still working through all the colors! Dot marker worksheets are ESSENTIAL just as much so as GAMES! I choose one game for the week so that way they stay on a rotation and my kids don't get bored. We are STILL using brand new games every week still. The kids are so grateful and having materials like this make is so easy for my kids to love speech and to keep wanting to come every single session. I am so grateful and with all my materials I continue to make a new themed lesson every single week to keep it fun.
