Summer speech therapy! If you work during the summer and need some fun ideas for summer therapy sessions... I got you! These are my go to themes! Most links are to freebies on TPT with some Amazon affiliate links.


Colorful mermaid illustration with green thumbprints, a seahorse, starfish, and the text "Mermaid Thumbprints." Book titled "Madalie's Mystery."

Beach/Mermaids:

Therapy idea: Use kinetic sand (<--link to my favorite) and make a mini sensory sand box. You can hide mini objects, speech cards, or pieces from a game.

Product suggestion:



Two "Thumbprint Shark" pages on a wooden table, one colored with blue ink thumbprints. Instructions visible. Crayons and blue pad nearby.

Shark Week:

Therapy idea: Read an non-fiction book about sharks! I love this one by the Innovation Press: How to Survive as a Shark

Freebies:

Product suggestion:




Artificial campfire with glowing light and marshmallows on sticks on a colorful rug. Text reads "Camping Theme" and "How to make an EASY realistic campfire."

Camp!

Therapy idea: Make a pretend campfire and roast pretend s'mores (click here to my instagram post where I show how to make this step by step)

Product suggestion:


Coloring and cutting activity on a wooden table featuring "Roasting Up Speech" worksheets with marshmallow drawings, crayons, glue, and scissors.
