Today we are joining in with the Linky started by Jenna at Speech Room News. The question is about our top 5 resources for working on vocabulary. This is a great question as I spend a lot of time doing vocabulary work. So many children with receptive and expressive language problems of all ages have […]
I have written before about my love of Orchard Toys. You can read my post about their fantastic dominoes here. I now have quite a collection, but was thrilled when Orchard Toys asked me to review one of their new games – Pigs in Pants. I was sent a free copy to review. Pigs in […]
Helen and I have been given a free copy of SpeakcoloursHD and Speech Cards from the kind people at RWH Technology to review. I’m going to talk about SpeakcoloursHD and Helen will post soon about the Speech Cards app. This app is designed for increasing vocabulary skills, phrase length and receptive and expressive language. I […]
A few weeks ago, Elizabeth reviewed the Minimal Pairs app from Therapy Box. You can see her review here. Today I’m going to review another of their apps – Sort It Out. I was given a free copy of this app to review but the views contained here are all my own. The first thing […]

I purchased my iPad last year “for work” and I love it and the children I work with love it. It rarely leaves my side. I don’t think it can replace real objects/ interactions and indeed it shouldn’t; but it is a useful addition to any therapy kit. Both Helen and I are trying to […]
I love finding new apps that I can use with the kids I see. Like technology or hate it, there are few things that motivate as well as a really good app! I can’t take the credit for finding this one though – I did a joint session with another SLT recently and she had […]
I’ve recently rediscovered barrier games as a great way of developing language skills with children. I already knew about them, I just hadn’t used them so much for a while.
