Speech and language home practice has always been important for making optimal progress.
This isn’t news to SLP’s. But events like the coronavirus pandemic, natural disasters, and subsequent school closings have shone a light on the need for quality resources that can be accessed at home. Not only during emergencies but for everyday home practice, school breaks, and summer too.
To help out, I’ve compiled an extensive list for you of free speech and language resources you can find online. Some are online games, many are printables. All are no-prep to make gathering what you need easier for you.
