I think almost everyone knows what social media is these days! And if you don’t, then you’re unlikely to be reading this post!.. However, you may just be using social media for personal stuff and not for speech therapy. Many speech therapists I meet don’t realise how useful it can be for liaising with colleagues, […]
The use of technology with children can be a little controversial. But love it or hate it, you can’t escape technology in one form or another nowadays. For most children, touchscreens are rather captivating. It does amuse me when you see a toddler walk up to a TV screen and prod and poke it, then […]
As a travelling therapist, I spend a lot of time in my car, driving between appointments. This can get a bit frustrating sometimes and feels like a lot of time is wasted, when I could be writing notes, or making resources or seeing children, or anything more productive than driving really!

We do hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break and didn’t eat too many chocolate eggs! Helen and I have been very lucky and have been given some apps and resources to review, so keep you eyes peeled over the next two weeks and we will let you know what we think of them! Today, I am […]

Helen and I love finding new iPad apps. When I first bought my iPad, the children (and I) were so excited we would spend whole sessions using it! However, I now see it as another tool in my ‘speech bag’. It is often offered as a reward – well the child sees it as a […]
We have put quite a few app reviews on this blog, and many of them are really great apps which I love. If you have an iPad which you ever use in therapy, make sure you read this review as we both absolutely love this app! Elizabeth and I were lucky enough to be contacted […]
A while ago, Helen and I were contacted by Special iApps and asked if we would review their apps. They very kindly gave Helen and I copies of the apps to review and have also offered to give some away through our blog! However the views expressed are my own. Special iApps is a non-profit […]
I had a real life experience of vocabulary learning this week. We have been musing for a while on the idea of changing this little blog into a self-hosted blog to give us the opportunity to do more with it. I may have lost some of you already?…. Having decided that now was the time […]
