Here is a list of bookmarked websites that I use a lot for therapy…  Have you heard of some great ones to share?  Post in the comments!  Always looking for new ideas!  Thanks! 🙂

Articulation:

• Speaking of Speech is a great website— I especially love the section where they offer homework packets—for both language and artic!  http://www.speakingofspeech.com/Therapy_Homework_Packets.html
• I use this one a ton! It gives a great visual with audio of how to make each sound.  I use it to show all the articulators and how they move together.  Kids love anything interaction and/or visual too to change things up in therapy.  I can also use it to compare to the kiddo’s production and have them decide if their sound sounds like the sound on the computer.  http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/#
• Here are some random resources compiled—some good artic ones I’ve used.  http://www.quia.com/pages/speechersclass.html
• I have used these a lot for kiddos with artic (think sent/phrase/para level!), as well as with language kids (main idea, wh questions, fact v. opinion, vocabulary, etc).  It’s relevant and reader friendly materials. http://sni.scholastic.com/
